Duck Soup Quote
Bob Roland : We've got to get rid of that man at once. Now I've got a plan. You say something to make him mad, and he'll strike you... and we'll force him to leave the country.
Rufus T. Firefly : That's a swell plan... why couldn't you arrange for me to strike him?
Bob Roland : Ambassador Trentino is a very sensitive man. Perhaps if you insult him. He's very easy to insult. Why, I said something to Vera Marcal in his presence once, and he slapped my face.
Rufus T. Firefly : Why didn't Vera slap your face?
Bob Roland : She did.
Rufus T. Firefly : What'd you say to her? [ Roland whispers it in his ear. Firefly slaps his face ]
Rufus T. Firefly : You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Where'd you hear that story?
Bob Roland : Why, you told it to me.
Rufus T. Firefly : Oh yes, I remember. I should have slapped Mrs. Teasdale's face when she told it to me.
