[in a flashback, we see Frank open the box and be tortured by the Cenobites]

Frank the Monster : You promised me an explanation.
Frank the Monster : [Frank holds up the box] This is it.
Julia : Let me see!

[Julia finds the undeveloped Frank in the attic]
Frank the Monster : Julia!
Julia : [gasps] Oh, my God.
Frank the Monster : Don't look at me.
Julia : [whimpers] Who are you?
Frank the Monster : I said, don't look. Help me!
Julia : Tell me who you are!
Frank the Monster : Frank.
Julia : [gasps] No. No!
Frank the Monster : Believe me. It's me. It's really me. His blood on the floor. It brought me back.
Julia : [trembling] Back? From where?
Frank the Monster : Just help me, will you? Please, God, help me!
-
[Julia agrees to help the undeveloped Frank]
Frank the Monster : Will you do it?
Julia : Yes. I will.

[Frank shows Julia his body becoming more whole again]
Frank the Monster : See? It's making me whole again. Every drop of blood you spill the more flesh you put on my bones. And we both want that, don't we?
Frank the Monster : [Julia whimpers, nodding] Good.
-
[Julia agrees to help the skinless Frank]
Julia : You're hurting.
Frank the Monster : You won't cheat me, will you? You'll stay with me, help me? Then we can be together the way we were before. We belong to each other now, for better or for worse. Like love... only real.

Kirsty Cotton : No.
Frank the Monster : Give it to me.
Kirsty Cotton : You want it?
Frank the Monster : One last time. Give me that box.
Kirsty Cotton : You want it?
Frank the Monster : Give me the box!
Kirsty Cotton : [screaming] You want it? Fucking have it!
Frank the Monster : [Frank screams as Kirsty throws the box out the attic window] NO!

[the skinless Frank assaults Kirsty in the attic]
Kirsty Cotton : Don't... don't touch me. Don't touch me, or so help me, I...
Frank the Monster : What'll you do? What can you do? There's nothing to be afraid of. Bet you make your daddy so proud. Don't you, beautiful?
Kirsty Cotton : This isn't happening.
Frank the Monster : [Frank holds Kirsty up against the wall] I used to tell myself that. Used to try and pretend I was dreaming all the pain. But don't you kid yourself. Some things have to be endured. And that's what makes the pleasures so sweet!

[Julia and the skinless Frank discuss what to do with Kirsty and Larry]
Julia : [the phone starts to ring] That's probably her now. Or the police.
Frank the Monster : It doesn't make any difference.
Julia : Don't you care?
Frank the Monster : What I care about is a new skin.
Julia : Maybe we should just leave.
Frank the Monster : Like this? Look at me.
Julia : We can't just stay here.
Frank the Monster : [in a low voice] My brother will be home soon.

Kirsty Cotton : YOU WANT IT? FUCKING HAVE IT!
Frank the Monster : NOOOOOOOOO!

Julia : What do you want me to do?
Frank the Monster : The blood brought me back this far. I need more. You have to heal me.

[Julia keeps Larry obedient to help the skinless Frank]
Larry : [from downstairs] Julia? Are you all right?
Julia : [yells down] Just a moment. Put on some music, will you, babe?
Larry : [downstairs] Yeah, sure.
Frank the Monster : Poor Larry. Obedient as ever.
-
Frank the Monster : They won't get me back. I'm going to live and you're going to help me, yes?
Julia : Yes. They'll never find us, not in the whole wide world.
-
[the skinless Frank suggests to Julia that they murder Larry]
Frank the Monster : You can't love him.
Julia : You know I don't.
Frank the Monster : So where's the harm?
Julia : I said no.
Frank the Monster : Then find me somebody else before they come looking. Now.
