Ah, yes. I love the Marx Bros. Duck Soup and Animal Crackers are 2 of my faves, but Night at the Opera owns:
Fiorello: What am I supposed to say?
Otis B. Driftwood: Tell them you're not here.
Fiorello: I don't think they'll believe me.
Otis B. Driftwood: Start talking. They'll believe you.
Otis B. Driftwood: I saw Mrs. Claypool first. Of course, her mother really saw her first but there's no point in bringing the Civil War into this.
The stateroom scene is an all time classic.
