Mr. Frankenstein tells the monster that he couldn't welcome him the last time he saw him because of the holden in his ear. He thanks the monster for his kind words and tells him that he'll do anything for the girl. The monster is so happy that he starts to cry. He says he's here just to see how the monster acts like a human being. He wants to know if the monster can win, and if he can, then he will forgive him. But if he loses, he will have to duel him. That's right, he says, a fight started with a man should end with a woman.
