What'd he say?

When Dennis Hoey, the Sultan Kamar Al-Kir, goes into the princesses bedroom to kill her, pulls back the bed curtain and finds Phil silvers, Abdullah, Phil is heard to say, "Hi, How are ya?"(later to be his signature greeting). but his lips don't match his words! What did he really say? It went by so fast I couldn't read his lips but it looked like the last word was "more." Anybody know?

Good question. I wish I could help. It looks like the last word is "No More?"

"How are ya? Glad to see ya?" is what I'm actually hearing. I'm pretty sure it's "How are ya? Disappointed?" Which would have been hilarious if left in.

I just watched the scene and it definitely appears that the original wording was "How are ya? Disappointed?"

Yep! Just saw it now and that is what he says. Wonder why they changed it? Some censor with a wild imagination?
