I guess this was too obscure to start a viable thread, but here goes again: Frau Blucher: Would the doctor care for a brandy before retiring? Froederick: No. Thank you. Frau Blucher: Some varm milk… perhaps? Froederick: No, thank you very much. Frau Blucher: Ovaltine? Froederick: Nothing! Thank you. I’m a little tired. Frau Blucher: Then I vill say… goodnight. Froederick: Goodnight! Froederick: Igor, would you help me with the bags? Igor:(a la Groucho Marx) Certainly - you take the blonde, and I’ll take the one in the turban! ---

“Put. Ze cendle. Beck.” is actually a family staple said whenever someone is misbehaving and we need to get their attention. “Taffeta, darling!” The couple on the train with the same conversation in English and German. “Hans! Aber jeden tag!” “So? Lass ihm! Lass ihm!” “Elevate me.” “What? Here? Right now?” “Sed-a . . . dirty word! He said a dirty word!” And I often, often use the “Could be worse” line. No one else, outside of my family, has come back with the correct response. ---

_Damn, you, fnord!_ ::rain slashes down; lightning strikes on the forbidding cliff:: You pre-empted my favorite line! And what does that leave me with? “Roll, roll in da hay!” The incoherent Teutonic offical w/ the prosthetic arm ? (Totally unquotable.) Gene Hackman, the kindly, blind hermit who screws things up with the best intentions? (Visual; perfect; not typable.) Okay, here’s one that hasn’t been cited yet, but is absolutely, hilariously perfect: Gene Wilder: (innocently demented; in top coat and tails) “Man about town…!” (music swells, suave soft shoe ensues) “Puttin’ on the Ritz!” (stomping, clumping, joyous warbling) Veb [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-fronkensteen/24276.md?page=2)
