Dr. Frankenstein: [to The Monster] "This is a nice
boy. This is a good boy. This is a mother's angel.
And I want the world to know once and for all, and
without any shame, that we love him. I'm going to
teach you. I'm going to show you how to walk, how
to speak, how to move, how to think

-Zoltar eyes-
A fortune teller machine is a type of amusement,
which upon receiving credit give out a card with a
prediction of the reader's future. They could be

modern video arcades and amusement parks.

-now in Virginia City, Mont.-
This machine that speaks your fortune may be the
last of its kind.
This unique machine, perhaps the only extant
version in the world, survives in a museum in
Virginia City, Montana. It features a recorded
voice and eerie animatronics. "The 100-year-old
fortune teller was an extremely rare find. Instead
of dispensing a card like Zoltar, the Gypsy would

player. When you dropped a nickel in the slot, her
eyes would flash, her teeth would chatter and her
voice would come floating from a tube

Reportedly, magician David Copperfield tried to
buy the machine from the Montana State Historical
Commission for two million dollars.
