King Roderick: The Duke. What did the Duke do?
Hubert Hawkins: Eh... the Duke do?
King Roderick: Yes. And what about the Doge?
Hubert Hawkins: Oh, the Doge!
King Roderick: Eh. Well what did the Doge do?
Hubert Hawkins: The Doge do?
King Roderick: Yes, the Doge do.
Hubert Hawkins: Well, uh, the Doge did what the Doge does. Eh, uh, when the Doge does his duty to the Duke, that is.
King Roderick: What? What's that?
Hubert Hawkins: Oh, it's very simple, sire. When the Doge did his duty and the Duke didn't, that's when the Duchess did the dirt to the Duke with the Doge.
King Roderick: Who did what to what?
Hubert Hawkins: Oh, they all did, sire. There they were in the dark; the Duke with his dagger, the Doge with his dart, Duchess with her dirk.
King Roderick: Duchess with her dirk?
Hubert Hawkins: Yes! The Duchess dove at the Duke just when the Duke dove at the Doge. Now the Duke ducked, the Doge dodged, and the Duchess didn't. So the Duke got the Duchess, the Duchess got the Doge, and the Doge got the Duke!
King Roderick: Curious. I... I... hm? What? What's that? All I heard was that the Duchess had a siege of rheumatism. She's 83, you know.

Hee!

And all I keep thinking is "... the vessel with the pestle..."

Yup. Wonderful, wonderful movie. We should've asked you on Saturday night when we were trying to recall what the Doge had (we knew the Duke with his dagger and the Duchess with her dirk).

I've only seen it once, alas. I remember being enormously surprised to see who the 'babe' was played by... I'd not seen her in anything other than Murder, She Wrote at that point.

It's a great film for rewatching. And beside Angela Lansbury, it's got Glynis Johns and Basil Rathbone.

Wanna host a movie night? (asks the TV-, VCR-, and DVD-disabled one)

At some point. Right now, we're not so set up for it. But hopefully come spring-ish.
