What's the punch-line?

I always wondered about a joke from Sleeper, though I never understood the punch-line because I couldn't hear or maybe I just didn't know any better.
Perhaps the IMDB community can help me out here. I hope so.

The joke is quoted in the quotes section of the movie's IMDB page, but the punch-line is still missing!
It begins--

Luna Schlosser: You were screaming out different names in your sleep.
Miles Monroe: I was having sexual nightmares.

But what has been left off is Luna's reply back (the punch-line)--

Luna Schlosser: Oh...Who are the _ _ _ Gypsies?

It sounds like she says "ANP" or "AMP" or...well i don't know. Any ideas?

Could be the A & P gypsies..(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_A&P_Gypsies)
Not the funniest line in the movie

Sounds right to me. I'd have to see the movie again to be sure, but I think you nailed it. Nice work!

Oh my god that's hilarious XD.
I've always wondered what it was. Merci.

Could be..

"This stuff tastes awful. I could make a fortune selling it in my health food store."

Or

"Woof woof, hello, I'm Rags."

Or

"What was that??? That noise?? Didn't you hear anything?? Are there any strange animals that I should know about, around here? Anything weird and futuristic, like with the body of a crab, and the head of a social worker?"
