Bela Lugosi
"Atomic Supermen"
Speech in Bride
of The Monster
Prof. Strowski:
Now I am here, sent
to bring you Home.
Dr. Eric Vornoff:
‘Home’? I have no Home.
Hunted, despised,
living like an animal!
The Jungle is My Home.
But I will show The World
that I can be its Master!
I will perfect my
own race of people.
A race of Atomic SuperMen
which will conquer The World!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
STUDENT
How Did All This start?
The First Lady:
How did what-all start?
STUDENT
Well...
(The Goldfish gestures into
her immediate vicinity,
to indicate The Water that
she is referring to,
all around her --
Her whole, damned-well
entire, terrorised Teen-
aged EXISTENCE)
This...
The First Lady:
Sarah...
"God said to Abraham,
"Look toward The Heavens
and number The Stars
and number The Stars
and so shall your
descendants be -- " "
descendants be -- " "
.....but Abraham's WIFE,
Sarah, wasn't getting any
younger, and God
wasn't coming through
on His Promise...
(.....I was very young
when I had my kids --
I was very, very,
very, VERY young,
I was barely even
BORN yet, when
I had my oldest
daughter, Elizabeth.)
Josh and the students laugh quietly.
Abbey glances over at Josh,
who is smiling at her.
The First Lady:
Anyway, Sarah
was getting older,
and she was
getting nervous,
because she didn't
have any children.
So she sent Abraham to the bed
of her maid, Hagar, and
Abraham and Hagar
had Ishmael --
And not long after they did,
God KEPT His
Promise to Sarah,
(as He'd always
intended to), and
Abraham and Sarah
had Isaac.
And Sarah SAID to Abraham,
"Cast OUT this Slave-Woman
WITH Her Son, for The Son
of The Slave-Woman will NOT
Be Heir with MY Son Isaac."
[ And Abraham fucking DID it. ]
And so it began:
The Jews, the Sons of Isaac;
The Arabs, the Sons of Ishmael.
But what most people
find important to remember
is that, in The END,
The Two Sons
came together, to
Bury Their Father.
Joshua :
…I Think most people
ALSO find it important
to remember that
the whole thing
took place about
73 MILLION
Years ago --
The First Lady :
Yeah.
