Lines from the movie!

Cordy: What were you doing shaving at this hour of the day? Anthony: I haven't been shaving! And since when do I shave my finger? Cordy: Well, you don't shave your ear either, but last week you cut it. Anthony: That's different, the ear is in the general vicinity of the face! Cordy: Well, so's the finger when you're shaving! Anthony: It's a *bite*, blast it! Cordy: No! Anthony: Yes! Cordy: Who? Anthony: George! Turned on me just like that, after all these years!

Angie Duke: Cordy, you and I are going to elope! Mrs. Duke: Over my dead body! Angie Duke: Only if absolutely necessary, Mother.

Mrs. Worth: [to George the alligator] Big ugly beast! You'd be a handbag if I had my way.

Songs from the movie!

Fortuosity!

Well now, ain't this an elegant neighborhood
All the residents dressed so fine
One day off the boat am I
With a job that's nearly mine
'Tis a job with an elegant millionaire
And his elegant family
Today I move from immigrant to high society
Now you may call that luck
And you may call it fortune,
But me, meself, I call it.....
Fortuosity, that's me byword
Fortuosity, me twinkle in the eye word
Sometimes castles fall to the ground
But that's where four leaf clovers are found
Fortuosity, lucky chances
Fortuitious little happy happen-stances
I don't worry 'cause everywhere I see
That every bit of life is lit by Fortuosity
Fortuosity, that's me own word
Fortuosity, me never feel alone word
`Round the corner, under a tree
Good fortune's waitin', just wait and see
Fortuosity, lucky chances
Fortuitious little happy happen-stances
I keep smilin', 'cause my philosophy
Is do your best and leave the rest to Fortuosity
I keep smilin', 'cause my philosophy
Is do your best and leave the rest to Fortuosity!
