I know this is left field...but I'm trying to find out which Marx Bros. movie contains a sequence where Groucho is having dinner with some rich woman (gee, that's pretty much in ALL of them...) but the catch is the constant repeating of "thank you" and "thank YOU!" ...evolves into "thank you" "thank YAAWWW" ...not much to go on, I know, but that's been a catch phrase w/ my family for years and I know I've seen the movie...I have 'em all on DVD but don't have time to scan thru each one. I figured someone on here might know.

My favorite line from Coconuts

Groucho: Would you like a suite on the third floor?

Chico: Nah, I'll settle for a polack in the basement

Now days that not PC but still damn funny

Capt. Spaulding:"I prefer to hunt elephants in Alabama."

"Why is that?"

"Because the Tusks are looser!"

From "A Day At The Races"

Flo: Oh doctor. Thank you.

Groucho: Thank "yu". Do you like gardenias?

Flo: I adore them. How did you know?

Groucho: I didn't, so I got you forget-me-nots. One whiff of this and you'll forget everything.

(Hackenbush hands her a wilted sunflower. He seats her and pushes in her chair at the table.)

Flo: Thank you.

Groucho: Thank "yu".

(handing him her wrap)

Groucho: Not at all. I always take the wrap.

I remember reading a story on Groucho in CA...I'm paraphrasing, but...

He was in Rome, walking around smoking one of his favorite Dunhills...and he was bumped by a passerby and his cigar fell in a puddle.

Groucho said, "Jesus CHRIST!"

With that, the man who had bumped him - a priest, turned and said "congratulations, Groucho...you just said the secret word."

Some of my all-time favorite movies. So many great lines, one can't begin to list them all. One of my favorites:

Girl: Hold me closer, closer.

Groucho: If I hold you any closer, I'll be in back of you.

Oh, and my favorite line from Monkey Business:

Gangster: Say, I could use a bozo like you.

Groucho: That's MR. BOZO to you!

THANKS everybody for the tip...hauled out my Races DVD and laughed my head off. I needed that.

Another fave: Groucho and a woman are out on a lake in a boat.

Girl: Oh, Professor...you're so full of whimsy.

Groucho: Can you tell from over there? I'm always that way when I've been eating radishes.
