In the movie Frankenstein (1931) Karloff as Frankenstein says: "It's alive! It's alive! In the name of God! Now I know what it's like to be God!" However this was censored and changed to: "Its alive its really alive my god its alive" In Young Frankenstein (1974) the dialogue is "Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Alive! It's alive! It's alive! " However in the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (born Mary Wollstonecraft) 1797-1851 no dialogue is recorded: Chapter 5.

How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.
