Dr. Finkelstein
- Dr. Finkelstein: Sally! You came back.
- Sally: I had to.
- Dr. Finkelstein: For this.
- [holds Sally's detached arm; she causes it to wave at herself]
- Sally: [smiles] Yes.
- Dr. Finkelstein: Shall we, then?
- Sally: Lunch!
- Dr. Finkelstein: Mm, what's this?
- [sniffs]
- Dr. Finkelstein: Wormswort! Mmm...
- [prepares to take a bite but then sniffs suspiciously]
- Dr. Finkelstein: ...And frog's breath?
- Sally: [innocently] What's wrong? I thought you *liked* frog's breath.
- Dr. Finkelstein: Nothing's more suspicious than frog's breath! Until *you* taste it, I won't swallow a spoonful!
- Sally: I'm not hungry.
- [shrugs and in doing so pretends to accidentally knock over the spoon he holds up]
- Sally: Oops!
- Dr. Finkelstein: [as she shoves the spoon aside on the floor and, still bent over, removes a slotted spoon from her sock] You want me to starve! An old man like me who hardly has strength as it is! Me! To whom you owe your very *life*!
- Sally: Oh, don't be silly!
- [Dips the sifting spoon in the soup and pretends to taste it]
- Sally: Mmmm! See? Scrumptious.
- [to his new creation, as he inserts part of his own brain]
- Dr. Finkelstein: What a joy to think of all *we'll* have in common. *We'll* have conversations *worth* having.
- Dr. Finkelstein: That's twice this month you've slipped deadly nightshade into my tea and run off.
- Sally: Three times!
- Dr. Finkelstein: You may come out now if you promise to behave. Sally? Sally?
- [sees a window opened]
- Dr. Finkelstein: [annoyed] Ohhh! Gone again!
- [slams a lantern/breaks his lantern]
