Ordering Dinner and Crowded Cabin Scenes

[painlessissuicide]

what happened to the videos showing the entire scene? (Otis arriving at this tiny room, finding Fiorello, Tomasso, and Roberto, trying to get rid of them, and agreeing to order them food)

[billsacrilege]

[Portacal13]

Is it my imagination or is it getting crowded in here??? lol love it!!!

[leafyutube]

Haha! Chico is so stupid. lol

[RingoandCarlin]

This was one of the only best scenes from this film. I always enjoyed hearing that line "And two hard boiled eggs!" "And two hard boiled eggs." Honk! "Make that three hard boiled eggs." Its funny when Harpo honks his horn.

[tolchok89]

And two hard-boiled eggs.

HONK!!!

Make that three hard-boiled eggs.

[Ysinese]

- Have you got any stewed prunes?

- Yes, sir...

- Well, give them some black coffee, that'll sober 'em up

GREAT!!!!!!!

[kessy1862]

[missmolly47]

[SimuLord]

My girlfriend told me a story about how a guy she used to date would "honk" her breasts during foreplay. Made the sound effect and everything. I told her "when he did that, you should've said make that 3 hard boiled eggs."

[Aginor27]

I rmember flicking past Family Channel once only to witness "The suite life of Zack and cody" recreating this. As nice as the allusion is I got really pissed off.

[SKYVOLTAGE]

Genius x 3.....

[kratzuli]

something wrong with the video feed?

[SomthingWithWolves]

Did you want a manicure? No, come on in.

I love their movies so much its rediculious, pity no one my age knows of them or thinks yuck black and white. Absolutely amazing.

[Overlord0011]

It's either foggy outside or make that twelve more hard-boiled eggs.

[SSArcher11]

"He does better asleep than I do awake."

[MrPoison4Life]

According to my Film Professor, the entire crowded cabin scene, was completely ad-libbed and, shot in one take

[Numanoid1963]

@MrPoison4Life

I believe that this scene, ( and many others from this movie and 'A Day at the races'), were actually as a result of the brothers taking the 'film' out on tour before the film was actually shot, so that they could perfect the scenes for when they came to shoot the film itself later on. There is no doubt that Groucho especially, did a lot of ad libbing whilst touring the show, to see which lines he cracked got the longest laughs and would therfeore be the best to put in the film.

[jerseybookguy]

@Numanoid1963

Yes, you are correct about taking the show on the road. I saw a Groucho retrospective where George Fenneman, Groucho's foil on "You Bet Your Life", told the story when he saw the brothers on stage when he was a teenager. They were doing scenes from "A Day at the Races" in an old movie house in San Francisco, where live acts would perform between films. Groucho was a master comedian and ad libber who would work and rework lines until they clicked.

[Farinadog13]

@Numanoid1963 Interestingly this scene didn't exactly play well in a live stage setting when they were trying out the movie. but Irving Thalberg in his infinite wisdom understood that on the movie screen it would loook that much more cramped, and therefore that much funnier.

[vvoodee]

I never tire of this stuff.

[VolatileChemical]

"No, come on in!"

[yourethebeesknees]

"You know, he does better asleep than I do awake?" Hehehehe!

[hothouse70]

Bouillon - a clear soup, like broth.

[ABhaim]

boo-ya?

[aeh20s]

@ABhaim he says bouillon

[ABhaim]

@aeh20s

thanks but now i gotta ask... what IS a bouillon? is that some kind of a cockail or something?

[ElDiabloEastSida]

come on in girls and leave all hope behind lol

[MrDorfmann]

I can remember that the opera orchestra eventually also went in the cabin and started playing something- is there another version of the movie ?

[conchristophers]

Pissed myself laughing...

[Fugsy07]

This scene is still being copied in sitcoms and movies today, great stuff.

[Sgtmaj10]

Do you want a manicure? No, come on in! ROFL.

[Chronomorte]

@Sgtmaj10 Yep, that line got me rolling

[painlessissuicide]

I want to go on a cruise, just so I can re-enact this scene
