DADDY: What did you think of the movie? 

LILLY: I thought it was pretty good but a bit short.

DADDY: I love this film. Would you have liked to have seen more of the bride (Elsa Lanchester)?

LILLY: Why yes.

DADDY: Did you like it more than the first film

LILLY: Yes.

DADDY: Who was your favourite character?

LILLY: The monster (Boris Karloff). I felt sorry for him.

DADDY: He's my favourite too, he didn't ask to be a monster did he?

LILLY: No.

DADDY: I think the real monsters are the mad scientists.

LILLY: I think the monsters are the people who hunt him down and hate him because he looked like one.

DADDY: What was your favourite moment?

LILLY: My favourite moment would be when the blind man treated him like like a normal person because he couldn't see him.

DADDY: Yeah that is great and he learns to speak.

LILLY: A bit.

DADDY: "Drink gooooood!"

LILLY: "Smoke gooooood!"

DADDY & LILLY: Lol!

DADDY: Would you recommend it to your friends?

LILLY: No because they wouldn't like a black and white movie.

DADDY: That is a shame.

LILLY: Yes.

DADDY: You rock!

LILLY: You know it daddy.

DADDY: How many stars would you give it?

LILLY: Fifteen.

DADDY: Me too, it is better than the first film.
