Best line of the movie?


Grabs shoe from tray: "I'm on a diet, but what the hell?"

Also, I recall falling off the couch when he says "Birdie Num-Num" in the intercom.

reply

Birdie numnum is great

however, I cannot forget this one:
Director: (to Bakshi after getting confirmation that there were no wrist watches at the time) Got the time?

reply

I vaguely remember when Bakshi was saving Michele from a pawing sex opportunist (probably a producer or director), the maniac said: "Who do you think you are?"
To which Bakshi replied: "In India, we do not think who we are. We know!"

reply

haha I just watched this movie last night (not for the first time) and there are so many good lines!
one that I didnt notice before though was one the nanny yells at the dog "COOKIE!!" and then dog runs and hides under the bed lol
birdie num num haha thats probably my favorite line
"what do you call this game with the multi-colored balls?"
"pool"
"poo?"
"POOL"
"oh POO-EL"
haha I love peter sellers indian accent.

Congratulations, Mr. Simms. You are the fattest boy in camp.

"Sir, your wife fell in the pool.
- Save the jewlery."

- A point in every direction is the same as no point at all.

num. num. hehhehHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I have friends to whom I need only utter the magic words "BIRDIE NUM NUM!" and they dissolve in giggles to this very day!!!

I watched this as a teenager in the 80s with a lot of friends, by the time we got to birdie num nums, we had all slid off the couch in hysterics clutching our stomachs, it was a such a great movie.
My favourite part is when Wyoming Bill Kelso accidently shoves his cue into Hrundi's backside - Hrundi prays.. and exclaims "Hari ram ram!"
also :
As the kitchen door swings open Hrundi and the ditzy blonde spy the head waiter strangling the drunk waiter, the blonde comments :
"it's very hard to find good help these days...."to which Hrundi relpies :
"it certainly is...", as he absentmindedly butters his hand instead of his roll!
and...
Mr Divot is pawing the young lady in the bedroom and someone shoots the dart at him and his toupe flies over from the back of his head to the front...LOLOL, the girl laughs and he gets pissed off..:)
lastly, the sozzled waiter, serving the wine has the cork in his mouth and has the kitchen door slammed in his face at which point he half swallows the cork, chokes for a bit (with the flapping hand) then gives a bit of a wiggle to get it down. so funny.

reply

Me too. I can't even start making the clucking noises before he says "Birdie Num Num", without cracking up. The wife looks at me like I'm an idiot.

Apart from this, I also love "Mr. Clutterbuck, your wife's fallen in the pool. What'll we do". He replies "Get her jewellery!".

reply

"I am not your sugar," and "hey, man, close the door!" For some reason, I find the drunk waiter's reaction when Divot asks him to get the guitar, and he just drunkenly repeats, "Get the guitar" really funny, too.

reply

Haha, I remember laughing at this when I frist saw it:

The gay man sitting in the table.

Clutterbuck's wife: Strawberry soup..

Gay man: Oh! Strawberry soup, haven't had it in a while. Oh, Ohh, it's lovely right nowww....

LMFAO

reply

I liked when Sellers during Nothing to lose is in need to urinate and does one of his looking into the camera lens moves as to say " Do you believe this" one of his trademarks

reply

"Birdie num num" FTW!

reply

C. S. Divot: You mashuga!
Hrundi V. Bakshi: I am not your sugar. ...

reply

"I am not your sugar" is a classic. Another one that tickles me is when Peter Sellers is destroying the upstairs bathroom, and the drill-sergeant-like nanny knocks on the door and says, "Who's in the head?"

reply

After the bathroom scene when he's on the roof with the gravel outside the bathroom trying to to keep from falling off.
