A scene from Arsenic and Old Lace 1944
Cab Driver

I'm not a cab driver. I'm a coffeepot!

Dr. Einstein

Where am I? Oh, here I am.

Dr. Einstein

We got a hot stiff on our hands!

Martha

One of our gentlemen found time to say 'How delicious!' before he died.

Martha

For a gallon of elderberry wine, I take one teaspoon full of arsenic, then add half a teaspoon full of strychnine, and then just a pinch of cyanide.

Police Sgt. Brophy

They're two of the dearest, sweetest, kindest, old ladies that ever walked the earth. They're out of this world. They're like pressed rose leaves.

Reporter

Seems like the same suckers get married everyday.

Abby

Now Mortimer, you behave. You're too old to be flying off the handle like this!

Dr. Einstein

[hat falling across his eyes]

Well, I'm off to Panama. Bon voyage!
