"You’re wise in your generation. We must have a long talk, and then I have an important call to make" I think Pretorius is talking about the development of Siri and Frankenstein is an earlier version, thus the stilted dialogue from Frankenstein. Siri, the "friend" is 2.0. The important call Pretorius must make is to Cupertino to tell them to get ready for the Oct. 4th release of the 4s. All joking aside, I think the Monster might possibly be saying he hates "the" living - people- because he is sure relishing in the delights of being alive. I'd say it boils down to his own loneliness.
