I'd Rather Do It Myself
When Eric von Zipper is kidnapping Sugar, one of his gang asks if he needs any help when he's trying to pick her up. He says, "I'd rather do it myself!" I think this was a parody of an Anacin (pain reliever) commercial that had been popular at the time. In the commercial, a woman is cooking and her mother asks if the soup ( or whatever was cooking) needed more salt. The woman, who apparently had a headache, slams down the lid onto the pot and says through clenched teeth, "Mother, please....I'd rather do it myself!"
