A scene from A Night at the Opera 1935
Lassparri

Rosa?

Rosa

Yes, signore?

Lassparri

My good friend Herman Gottlieb is coming back to see me. How would you like to have supper with us?

Rosa

I'm terribly sorry, signor Lassparri. I already have an engagement.

Lassparri

Oh, I see. Well, that's too bad because I have an idea that he's going to invite me to sing in New York. And uh... He may permit me to select my leading lady. Are you sure you can't break your appointment?

Rosa

I'm terribly sorry, signor.

Lassparri

[Rosa went away from Lassparri with Riccardo with her. Tomasso made a little happy tune with his flute and drums. Then Lassparri aggressively picked him up angrily]

What do you mean by humiliate me in front of all those people!? You're fired!! Do you understand!!? YOU'RE FIRED!!

Driftwood

Hey, you big bully. What's the idea of hitting that little bully?

Lassparri

In a count of letting me handle my own affairs!? [Lassparri pushing Tomasso] GET OUT!! [To Driftwood] Now, what do you have to say to me?

Driftwood

Just this, can you sleep on your stomach with such big buttons on your pajamas? [Driftwood taking one of the clown buttons off of him]

Lassparri

Why you--
[Before Lassparri was going to punch Driftwood, Tomasso came back and bashed Lassparri on the head with a large hammer]
