  • Magenta - A Domestic: A triumph of your will.
  • Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist: Yes!
  • Columbia - A Groupie: He's okay!
  • Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist: Okay? Okay? I think we can do better than that! Well, Brad and Janet, what do you think of him?
  • Janet Weiss - A Heroine: Well, I don't like men with too many muscles.
  • Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist: I didn't make him for you! He carries the Charles Atlas seal of approval!
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: With a bit of a mind flip...
  • Magenta - A Domestic: You're into a time slip...
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: And nothing can ever be the same.
  • Magenta - A Domestic: You're spaced out on sensation. HAH!
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: Like you're under sedation!
  • All: Let's do the time warp again!
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: [singing] Frank-n-Furter it's all over. Your mission is a failure, your lifestyle's too extreme. I'm your new commander. You are now my prisoner. We return to Transylvania. Prepare the transit beam.
  • Magenta - A Domestic: How sentimental.
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: And also presumptuous of you. You see, when I said that *we* were to return to Transylvania, I referred only to Magenta and myself. I'm sorry, however, if you found my words misleading. But, you see, you are to remain here... in spirit, anyway.
  • Dr. Everett V. Scott - A Rival Scientist: Great heavens! That's a laser!
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: Yes, Dr. Scott. A laser capable of emitting a beam of pure anti-matter.
  • Brad Majors - A Hero: You mean, you're going to kill him? What's his crime?
  • Dr. Everett V. Scott - A Rival Scientist: You saw what became of Eddie. Society must be protected.
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: Exactly, Dr. Scott. And now, Frank N. Furter, your time has come. Say good-bye to all of this... and hello to oblivion.
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: Master, Rocky has broken his chain and vanished. Your new playmate is loose and somewhere in the castle grounds. Magenta has just released the dogs.
  • Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist: Hmmm? Coming.
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: It's astounding... Time is fleeting. Madness takes its toll. But listen closely...
  • Magenta - A Domestic: Not for very much longer!
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: I've got to... keep control...
  • Lips: [last lines; in song] Science fiction... double feature/Frank has built and... lost his creature/Darkness has conquered... Brad and Janet/The servants gone to... a distant planet/Whoa-oh-oh-ohh/At the late-night... double feature... picture show/I wanna go/Ah-ohh/To the late-night... double feature... picture show.
  • Janet Weiss - A Heroine: You killed them!
  • Magenta - A Domestic: But I thought you liked them. They liked you.
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: THEY DIDN'T LIKE ME! THEY NEVER LIKED ME!
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: Hello.
  • Brad Majors - A Hero: Hi! My name is Brad Majors, and this is my fiancee, Janet Weiss. I wonder if you'd mind helping us. You see, our car broke down a few miles up the road. Do you have a phone we might use?
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: You're wet.
  • Janet Weiss - A Heroine: Yes, it's raining.
  • Brad Majors - A Hero: Yes.
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: Yes... I think perhaps you better both come inside.
  • Janet Weiss - A Heroine: You're too kind. Oh, Brad, I'm frightened. What kind of a place is this?
  • Brad Majors - A Hero: Oh, it's probably some kind of hunting lodge for rich weirdos.
  • Janet Weiss - A Heroine: Oh.
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: This way.
  • Janet Weiss - A Heroine: Are you having a party?
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: You've arrived on a rather special night. It's one of the master's affairs.
  • Janet Weiss - A Heroine: Oh, lucky him.
  • Magenta - A Domestic: You're lucky, he's lucky, I'm lucky, we're all lucky! Ha ha ha...
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: The master is not yet married, nor do I think he ever will be.
  • Lips: [singing] I knew Leo G. Carroll / Was over a barrel when "Tarantula" took to the hills / And I really got hot / When I saw Janette Scott / Fight a triffid that spits poison and kills/ Dana Andrews said prunes / Gave him the runes / And passing them used lots of skills / But when worlds collide / Said George Pal to his bride / I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills...
  • Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist: [punishing Riff Raff for letting Rocky get away] How did it happen? I understood you were to be watching!
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: I was only away for a minute... master.
  • Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist: Well... see if you can find him, on the MONITOR!
  • Lips: [singing] Science fiction double feature/Dr. X will build a creature/See androids fighting Brad and Janet/Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet/ Whoa-oh-oh-oh/ At the late-night... double feature... picture show, in the back row.
  • Lips: [first lines; in song] Michael Rennie was ill The Day the Earth Stood Still / But he told us where we stand / And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear / Claude Rains was The Invisible Man...
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: You'd better leave while it is still possible. Go. Now.
  • Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist: [when Magenta and Columbia takes of his mummified head and gasps] Oh! Rocky!
  • [lets out a guttural grunt]
  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: [cackling hen turning the wheel]
  • Rocky Horror - A Creation: [singing] The sword of Damocles Is hanging over my head.
  • [then grunts]
  • Rocky Horror - A Creation: And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the THREAD!
  • Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist: You IDIOT!
  • [kicks Riff Raff in his butt]

  • Riff Raff - A Handyman: You know this earthling... this person?
