Quotes 

• 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.

• 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] 

• Machine Gun Joe VeTurbo : You know, it used to be in the old days we would just take someone like you in a alley and blow their brains out.

  Annie Paine : Come on, Joe, all's fair in love and war.

  Machine Gun Joe VeTurbo : I'm glad you said that, Annie, because what we got going here ain't exactly love.

  [begins to strangle her]
