Does anybody have any quotes they enjoyed? I cannot remember any, although there were a lot of them.
ALSO:
Who else found Prof. Marcus very, very eerie? I sure did. I don't know, he was just very dodgy. I think Alec Guiness was perfect for the role.
"She has to go; she asked for it. She's probably asked for it all her life."
"No good plan (crime) could include Mrs. Wilburforce."
"Who is Mrs Lop-sided may I ask?"
"Well ring the bell brains, don't just stand there. Thank you!"
When the old lady companions of Mrs Wilberforce come round for tea and one is holding a paper reporting the robbery.
Prof Marcus: Oh, have you a paper, I must see the latest test score
Major Courtney: What is the score?
Prof Marcus: I am afraid they're all out for 60,000
"It is better to die once, than to live in constant fear of death."
'Where's your sense of humour One-Round?' -Harry
'I'm not going onto the roof for a parrot, even if he's a field-marshal'- Louie
'No, no, I can't. Not down there. Not in front of the parrots' - Major Courtney
'They were my husbands. I had four of them - but I've got only three now.'
'What, husbands?!'
'No, parrots'. - Marcus and Mrs. W
and lastly, one of my favs from little baby Harrykins:
'Why don't we write a suicide note- "I can't stand it no more" - and then someone goes down and hangs her! Well, if you can't think of nothing better to do...'
Oh go on, one more-
One Round:'All the time, you've been calling me stupid. Well, who's stupid now, eh?' *holds up a gun, pulls trigger, and nothing happens*
Louie:*Stabs him* 'He left the safety catch on.'
It's off to bunny heaven for you, Big Ears!!!
One Round:'All the time, you've been calling me stupid. Well, who's stupid now, eh?' *holds up a gun, pulls trigger, and nothing happens*
Louie:*Stabs him* 'He left the safety catch on.
Here's one I quite liked:
After explaining to Mrs. Wilberforce that their robbery was justified due to their needing money:
Courtney: Have you no compassion?? How dare you sit in judgment of your fellow human beings?
Peter Sellers (forget his character): You're a cruel, cold-hearted woman, Mrs. Wilberforce!
That isn't verbatim, but I hope it's pretty close!
"Please don't underestimate me. Practically or morally, I'm not the man you take me for."
"Alec Guinness" - The Parrot
