Dr. Lejos/Dracula: Young people making the most of life - while it lasts.
Chick Young: You still want your exhibits?
McDougal: Of course I do.
Wilbur Grey: Here comes one of 'em now.
Wilbur Grey: Dracula is Dracula. And Sandra's gonna use my brain to make a bigger dummy out of the other dummy.
Dracula: What we need is young blood... and brains.
Chick Young: People pay McDougal cash to come in here and get scared.
Wilbur Grey: I'm cheatin' him. I'm gettin' scared for nothin'.
Wilbur Grey: I've got a date. In fact I've got two dates.
Larry Talbot: But you and I 'have a date with destiny'.
Wilbur Grey: Let Chick go with Destiny.
Chick Young: Well after what I saw, there'd better not be any 'maybe'.
Chick Young: Why don't you get down to the police station and tell them you know the story of Dracula and Monster they'd be very interested.
Larry Talbot: I can't do that because then I'd have to tell them who I am and how I know what I know.
Chick Young: You're making enough noise to wake up the dead.
Wilbur Grey: I don't have to wake him up. He's up.
Chick Young: I don't get it. Out of all the guys around here that classy dish has to pick out a guy like you.
Wilbur Grey: What's wrong with that?
Chick Young: Go look at yourself in the mirror sometime.
Wilbur Grey: Why should I hurt my own feelings?
Larry Talbot: Have you seen Chick Young or Wilbur Grey?
Waiter: Seen 'em? I don't even know them.
Dr. Sandra Mornay: Don't you know what's going to happen now?
Wilbur Grey: I'll bite.
Dr. Sandra Mornay: Oh, no. I will.
Chick Young: I saw what I saw when I saw it.
Chick Young: Please give me a little ether.
Dr. Sandra Mornay: We don't need it. You won't feel a thing.
Chick Young: Get up on your feet. It's only a dummy.
Wilbur Grey: Dummy nothin'. It was smart enough to scare me.
Chick Young: What's the matter?
Larry Talbot: I know you'll think I'm crazy, but... in a half-an-hour the moon will rise and I'll turn into a wolf.
Wilbur Grey: You and 20 million other guys.
Wilbur Grey: Well that's gonna cost you overtime because I'm a union man and I work only sixteen hours a day.
McDougal: A union man only works eight hours a day.
Wilbur Grey: I belong to two unions.
Chick Young: I'm going out to get the other crate. And no back talk.
Wilbur Grey: I've got just two words to say to you.
Chick Young: What is that?
Wilbur Grey: Hurry back.
Joan Raymond: What are you doing tonight?
Chick Young: He's going to a masquerade ball but I'm not doing anything.
Joan Raymond: In that case you'll be awfully lonesome.
Answer: The monster may have seemed obedient, but its overall behavior is unknown to us. It's possible that it was at times defiant, obstinate, or just didn't follow instructions completely or competently. It's also just a plot device for a silly movie. There has to be some reason, however flimsy, why Dracula wants Wilbur's brain.
