"Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did."
Nobody followed up on this one? I am depressed.
That was the irreplaceable Groucho Marx, playing Rufus T. Firefly, flaying the hide from Margaret Dumont's stately Mrs. Teasdale in Duck Soup.
Another example of their dialogue:
Rufus T. Firefly: Not that I care, but where is your husband?
Mrs. Teasdale: Why, he's dead.
Rufus T. Firefly: I bet he's just using that as an excuse.
Mrs. Teasdale: I was with him to the very end.
Rufus T. Firefly: No wonder he passed away.
Mrs. Teasdale: I held him in my arms and kissed him.
Rufus T. Firefly: Oh, I see, then it was murder. Will you marry me? Did he leave you any money? Answer the second question first.
Mrs. Teasdale: He left me his entire fortune.
Rufus T. Firefly: Is that so? Can't you see what I'm trying to tell you? I love you.
Now for my suggestion:
"You can't fool me! There ain't no Sanity Claus!"
