Krempe:
The foolish and vain force their views by their brawn. But knowledge is power only through god, our motto, easily forgotten by you young men in a hurry... . But perhaps the greatest mistake that all students make during their time here is to suppose that they can ever have an original or creative thought. We have all imagined that in our time. But gentleman you have not come here in order to think for yourselves. You are here to learn how to think for your patients. You must learn therefore in the first place, to submit yourselves to the established laws of physical reality.
Victor Frankenstein:
But surely, Professor, you don't intend we disregard more philosophical approaches.
Krempe:
Philosophical?
Victor Frankenstein:
Those which stir the imagination as well as the intellect. As in Paracelsus, for example.
Krempe:
Ah, Paracelsus. An arrogant and foolish Swiss.
Victor Frankenstein:
Albertus Magnus.
Krempe:
His nonsense was exploded 500 years ago!
Victor Frankenstein:
Cornelius Agrippa.
Krempe:
A sorcerer, an occultist. What is your name?
Victor Frankenstein:
Victor Frankenstein sir. Of Geneva.
Krempe:
Oh-ho. Another Swiss. Mr. Frankenstein here at the University of Ingolstadt, we teach and indeed hope to advance the science of medicine. Chemistry, biology physics. We study hard science.
Victor Frankenstein:
But surely professor the greatest possible advances lie in combining these things.
Krempe:
We do not study the ravings of lunatics and alchemists hundreds of years in their graves because they're kind of amateur, fanatical, fantastical speculation does not heal bodies or save lives! Only science can do that. Now have we your permission to continue.
