Right, and the joke is that Aziz has fallen asleep, but the Mondoshowan ship has turned on it’s huge bank of nuclear powered spotlights, leading to the professor thanking Aziz.

Bingo! I thought for sure this one would go unanswered for a long time, but you got it right away.

I just finished watching it on Silver Screen. I have the DVD too.

Wallace and Gromit in their first film, **A Fine Day Out**

And still no one’s come up with the source of “I hope we have a lot of boys so we can name them all after you” ?

Bingo!

I’m spoiilering it, because it’s a great flick, and if you haven’t seen it, you should.

It’s the last line in the movie (and unfortunately cut off in some DVDs), said by Audrey Hepburn’s character to Cary Grant’s. Grant’s character has spent the movie giving Hepburn various aliases instead of his real name, which he reveals at the end.

Don’t remember if this has been suggested already. Note: spelling is somewhat subjective/arbitrary. The quote:
