Funny / Horse Feathers

• "Get tough with that guy." "Now get tough with the other guy." "Now get tough with both of them."
• The speakeasy/password scene.
• The anatomy class.
• The football game.
  • Especially Chico calling the plays. "Hey-diddle-diddle, de cat an' de fiddle, dis time I think we go down the middle!"
• "I'm Against It"
• Groucho's rendition of "Everyone Says I Love You". "Everyone says I love you, but just what they say it for I never knew. It's just invitin' trouble for the poor sucker who says I love you."
• This:
  Professor Wagstaff: Young man, you'll find as you get older, you can't burn the candle at both ends.
  (Harpo pulls a candle burning at both ends from out of his coat)
  Professor Wagstaff: (nonplussed, for Groucho) Well, I knew you couldn't burn something at both ends. I thought it was a candle.
• And this:
  Zeppo: [congratulating Groucho on his speech] I'm proud to be your son.
  Groucho: You took the words right out of my mouth; I'm ashamed to be your father.
• Groucho looks at a picture of the back end of a horse: "That reminds me, I haven't seen my son all day!"
• "You're a disgrace to our family name of Wagstaff, if such a thing is possible."
• "Why don't you go home to your wife? I'll tell you what: I'll go home to your wife. Outside of the improvement, she'll never know the difference."
• Groucho's reaction to Connie's "icky girl" baby talk is hilarious.
  "Was that you or the duck? 'Cuz if that was you, I'm finishing this ride with the duck."
  • Doubly amusing as at the end of the scene you can see that the Duck is in the boat.
• Groucho breaks character and says we should go to the lobby until the musical number is over.
• "Cut the cards." So Harpo does - with an ax.
• During a canoe ride, Connie falls out of the boat and begs Groucho to toss her a lifesaver. Groucho obliges...by tossing her a Lifesavers candy piece.
