This is the Bridal Suite. Would you send up a couple of caviar sandwiches and a bottle of beer?
What? Who is this?
This is the Voice of Doom calling. Your days are numbered, to the seventh son of the seventh son!
Hello? Hello?
When he hangs up, the bride asks her mother What's the matter?, and she replies, I think one of the servants has been at the sherry again.
2. The original 1939 version of The Women contains one of the great movie insults of all time. Joan Crawfords character, referring to a group of women she dislikes, says, There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society, outside of a kennel.. It was a clever way to imply a word that no one could actually say in movies at the time.
