Funny / The Mummy (1959)

Go To

  • Early in the film there's a scene where two Irishmen are speaking in a bar, with one telling his friend about how he was recently paid to transport relics across the border. The first man tries to take a drink of his beer after each sentence, but his friend prompts him to continue his story before he can. It's the man's exasperated look each time that sells it.
    • The two then leave the bar to drive their cart with the aforementioned relics and have this exchange.
    First Man: (drunken slur) I'll drive.
    Second Man: (an even more drunken slur) I'll drive. You're drunk.
    • And when they get to their cart.
    First Man: Dear old horse. A man's best friend is a horse.
    Second Man: It's a dog.
    First Man: (looks at his horse) It's a horse. I'm not that drunk, and I'm driving.
  • After a Poacher witnesses the mummy and goes running to the nearest tavern we get this exchange.
    Poacher: I've seen the likes tonight that mortal eyes shouldn't look at.
    Irish Customer: You've been around to Molly Grady's again?
  • When Inspector Mulrooney arrives to question the poacher about the mummy later on, the man thinks this man has come all the way from Scotland Yard to investigate him for poaching and frantically talks about how that rabbit was dead when he found it and he was just taking it to give a decent burial.
