Horse Feathers Quote

Baravelli: [through speakeasy's door] Who are you?

Professor Wagstaff: I'm fine, thanks, who are you?

Baravelli: I'm fine too, but you can't come in unless you give the password.

Professor Wagstaff: Well, what is the password?

Baravelli: Aw, no. You gotta tell me. Hey, I tell what I do. I give you three guesses. It's the name of a fish.

Professor Wagstaff: Is it Mary?

Baravelli: Ha-ha. That's-a no fish.

Professor Wagstaff: She isn't? Well, she drinks like one. Let me see: Is it sturgeon?

Baravelli: Hey, you crazy. Sturgeon, he's a doctor cuts you open when-a you sick. Now I give you one more chance.

Professor Wagstaff: I got it. Haddock.

Baravelli: That's-a funny. I gotta haddock, too.

Professor Wagstaff: What do you take for a haddock?

Baravelli: Well-a, sometimes I take-a aspirin, sometimes I take-a Calamel.

Professor Wagstaff: Say, I'd walk a mile for a Calamel.

Baravelli: You mean chocolate calamel. I like that too, but you no guess it. Hey, what's-a matter, you no understand English? You can't come in here unless you say, Swordfish. Now I'll give you one more guess.

Professor Wagstaff: ...swordfish, swordfish... I think I got it. Is it swordfish?

Baravelli: Hah. That's-a it. You guess it.

Professor Wagstaff: Pretty good, eh?
