I've this so many times, but this viewing is making me snarkier than usual:
Victor Henry Frankenstein: (points at gallows): Climb up and get it.
Fritz: Aargh!
Henry Frankenstein: What? It can't hurt you!
Well, yeah, but he's a tiny hunchbacked guy with a cane and you're a big strapping mad scientist. Why can't you do the climbing? Nonetheless, Fritz cuts the body down.
Henry Frankenstein: Damn it, the neck's broken!
Really?! Hanged criminal and you're surprised by this?
Elizabeth: (with a letter from Victor) I've tried reading it over and over but it's just *words*.
What is this, State-the-Obvious Theatre?
ETA: And again!
Pounding on the front door.
Fritz: There's somebody there!
Henry Frankenstein: (To Elizabeth, Fritz, Frankenstein's ex-teacher, and the random other guy Elizabeth brought along) Quite a scene, isn't it?! One man CAH-RAZY; three VERY SANE spectators.
Wait, so is Fritz neutral in this?
The Monster's just entered though. That will never not be a beautiful make-up job and performance.
I'd forgotten that when the Monster kills Fritz, (though it's arguably self-defense) he does so by *hanging* him. Some sort of leftover memory in his brain of having been executed by the same method?

Also, I know that this scene is madly melodramatic, but I've always held that no one is ever allowed to parody or laugh at the blind hermit's making friends with the monster. That's sacred, everything else is fair game. (I had to skip through the parody scene in "Young Frankenstein.")
