I Like My Cigar, But I Take It Out, Once In A While

[Ben_Hecht]

My lone must-mention annual RIP . . .

Julius Henry Marx, D. 8/19/77

The one and only.

Hello, I must be goingggggggggggggggggggg.

A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke.

I remember the first time I had sex - I kept the receipt.

Women should be obscene and not heard.

 

[Buck]

A child of five would understand this.
Send someone to fetch a child of five.

Swordfish!

I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

Room service? Send up a larger room.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

If I were any closer to you, I'd be behind you.

 

[Buck]

I must confess, I was born at a very early age.

 

[Machine Head]

Swordfish!

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Swordfish!

Still love "Cut the cards".

Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse.

"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."

And, proving he was ahead of his time politically, there's "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.”

Favorite Marx brothers scenes?

--the stateroom on the cruise ship in Night at the Opera
--Harpo, Chico, and the lemonade man in Duck Soup
--Groucho and Chico negotiating the contract in Night at the Opera
--Swordfish.

Yours?

The oft copied but never equaled mirror scene from 'Duck Soup.'

I shot an elephants in my pajamas once. What he was doing in my pajamas, I have no idea.

We had difficulty removing the tusks. Tusks. Of course in Alabama, the tusks are looser.

12 years in Leavenworth or 11 years in 12worth.

I move we take up the taxes.
I move we take up the carpet.
I move we take up the taxes.
You know, he's right. You have to take up the taxes before you can take up the carpet.

The local art center put on a short summer series of "movies in the park" outside on the art center front lawn. "Best in Show", "Sixteen Candles", and "Night at the Opera" were the three movies picked to be shown on the 1st Thursday of each month (June, July, and August).

"Night at the Opera" was the final one a few weeks ago. It was the first time I watched a Marx Brothers movie, not counting watching Groucho's old TV show as a kid.

I fell in love with that movie from start to finish.

Think what you have waiting for you, considering that Duck Soup and Horsefeathers are even better.

. . . party of the first part . . .

For a movie not near their best, the Chevalier knockoffs in the customs
line in Monkey Business are hysterical. Groucho looking out from under the
straw-hat brim during that business always puts me on the floor.

Groucho: "That's in every contract, that's what you call a sanity clause."
Chico: "You can't a fool a me there ain't no sanity clause"

One of my favourites from "A Night at the Opera".

help, help 3 men and a woman trapped in a burning building. If you can't send help, send 2 more women.

I married your mother because I wanted children. Imagine my disappointment when you arrived.
