A scene from A Day at the Races 1937
Hackenbush

[examining Stuffy with an auriscope]

I haven't seen anything like this in years. The last time I saw a head like that was in a bottle of formaldehyde.

Tony

Told you he was sick.

Hackenbush

[pointing to Stuffy's neck]

That's all pure desecration along there. He's got about a 15% metabolism, with an overactive thyroid and a glandular affectation of about 3%.

Tony

That's bad.

Hackenbush

With a 1% mentality. [Stuffy grins] He's what we designate as the crummy moronic type. All in all, this is the most gruesome looking piece of blubber I've ever peered at.

Tony

Hey doc. Hey doc!

Hackenbush

Huh?

Tony

You gotta the looking glass turned around, you're looking at yourself.

Hackenbush

I knew it all the time. That was a good joke on all of us, wasn't it?
