A scene from Duck Soup 1933
Mrs. Teasdale

Your Excellency, the Ambassador's here on a friendly visit. He's had a change of heart.

Firefly

A lot of good that'll do him. He's still got the same face.

Trentino

I'm sorry we lost our tempers. I'm willing to forget if you are.

Firefly

Forget? You ask me to forget? A Firefly never forgets. Why, my ancestors would rise from their graves, and I'd only have to bury them again. Nothing doing. I'm going back and clean the crackers out of my bed. I'm expecting company.

Mrs. Teasdale

Please wait.

Firefly

Let go of me, you bully!

Trentino

I am willing to do anything to prevent this war.

Firefly

It's too late. I've already paid a month's rent on the battlefield.
