What do you think about the prison scene?

I personally thought it was insufferable! It just felt never-ending. I don't like this type of humor, but I kind of tried to immerse myself into the era. I ended up enjoying most of the film, but that scene in particular was physically painful. What do you guys think?

I assume that you mean the jail scene. I thought it was hilarious.

I thought it was hilarious.

And I agree.

"When they find out who you are, they'll pad the cell"

"Mickey the Mouse and Donald the Duck"

"But the mob calls me SWINGIN' DOOR SUSIE"

"I'm the niece...I'm the aunt...I'm Major Horace Applegate"

"You mean to say you don't remember Jerry the Nipper?"

"Huxley! Why did you throw rocks at me last night?"

"Everything is going to be all right"

I crack up just thinking about that scene.

The movie highlight. But I can see it being too much for some.
