Frankenstein : [Frankenstein just barely avoids Annie's attempt to run them both off a cliff] What the hell do you think you're doing?
Annie Paine : It doesn't matter what happens to me now.
Frankenstein : Now that is about the dumbest, sorriest thing I've ever heard you say. I don't believe you have a drop of Thomasina Paine's blood in your whole body. I mean, when things get tough, you close your eyes and try to drive us off a cliff! If you'd just stop trying to kill me for a minute, I need your help.
Annie Paine : How can you possibly expect me to help you!
Frankenstein : You're my navigator.
Annie Paine : You're the only one who knows where you're going! I mean, whose side are you on, anyway? I thought the only thing that mattered to you was winning the race.
Frankenstein : Sure. Only the winner of the race gets to shake hands with Mr. President.
[takes off his glove]
Annie Paine : Is that a grenade?
Frankenstein : A "hand grenade". That handshake is all I've lived for for as long as I can remember.
[puts his glove back on and clenches his fist]
Annie Paine : Now, wait a minute! I don't want you to die.
Frankenstein : It's my life's work.

[Annie takes off Frankenstein's mask; his face is supposed to be ugly in appearance]
Frankenstein : What'd you expect, another pretty face?
-
Frankenstein : What were you doing down there, getting more secret instructions from the lunatic fringe?
Annie Paine : [starts to take off her clothes] Why don't you just turn me in and get it over with?
Frankenstein : Your cover's blown, you're no threat to me now.
Annie Paine : I have a job to do.
Frankenstein : Your job is a waste of time. The world doesn't want to be saved. I'm giving you a chance to save one small part of it: yourself.
Annie Paine : Who *are* you, anyway?
Frankenstein : Nobody. I was brought up in a government training center to be just who I am: Frankenstein, this year. They use one up, they bring in another. But I will be the last of the line.
Annie Paine : Oh, who's kidding who?
Frankenstein : I never kid.
[they start to make love]

Harold : Is it true that, with your new mechanical arm, you can shift gears in less than a 20th of a second? Would you care to comment on that?
Frankenstein : No.
Harold : How do you feel about going into the race with a navigator you've never met?
Grace Pander : You'll love Annie. She's a red-hot sexpot.
Frankenstein : She'd better be a red-hot navigator.

Frankenstein : You want to make love to me because I drive the Monster and wear this costume.
