Clyde follows the monster and they make their way to the outside door where Dr. Pretorius is waiting.

Dr. Pretorius: There you are… both of you—I was starting to worry. Do you have… the cargo?

Monster: The "cargo"? You call a woman cargo?

Dr. Pretorius: (tossing his hand by the wrist) …a bad choice of words perhaps… but this is not the point. You have Mrs. Frankenstein, squared away?

Monster: Yes, she is safely "stored."

Dr. Pretorius: Fine, fine. Good job. This puts us ahead of the game. Perhaps it will not be necessary to play this trump card, but should we need to, we will have no difficulty…

Now, Clyde, come with me. We must find the good doctor, and entreat him again to divulge his secrets, and I will need you there, in case he reveals them.

You (speaking to the monster) follow close behind. If I need you I will call. The good doctor will not as yet wish to see you, and the news you hold the fate of his lovely bride may be just the thing to change his mind.
Come now…

We see Igor at the side of the stage, having been listening to the conversation, as the others leave he approaches, watching them go, singing a few snatches of Aqualung…
they are noisily leaving, Dr. Pretorius looking over Clyde’s shoulder at his scribbling, and fussing that he "must take very complete notes," the monster lumbering loudly…
none of them notices Igor.
Igor stands and shakes his head…

Igor: One should never break a genius’ heart…

Igor leaves the stage again singing snatches of Aqualung.
