Anyone catch the line where Henry contemplates Cosby Date Rape?


Sellers, frustrated beyond all patience by the constant thwarting of his conquest of Paula Prentiss, at one point mutters something like, "maybe I should slip two miltowns in her drink"

Just caught that tonight during a viewing. I guess sexual assault got a lot of donkey laughs back in the day. People were so cavalier about it.
