The Invisible Man | 1933

Now, Kemp.

Now then, we can talk as man to man.

Sit down.

One day I'll tell you everything. There's no time now.

I began five years ago in secret,

working all night, every night, right into the dawn.

A thousand experiments, a thousand failures,

and then at last the great, wonderful day.

But, Griffin, it's ghastly!

The great, wonderful day.

The last little mixture of drugs. I couldn't stay here any longer, Kemp.

I couldn't let you see me slowly fading away.

So I packed up and went to a village for secrecy and quiet,

to finish the experiment and complete the antidote,

the way back to visible man again.

I meant to come back just as I was when you saw me last.

But the fools wouldn't let me work in peace. I had to teach them a lesson.

But why? Why do it, Griffin?

Just a scientific experiment at first.

That's all. To do something no other man in the world had done.

But there's more to it than that, Kemp. I know now.

It came to me suddenly. The drugs I took seemed to light up my brain.
