Walter Slezak: Yakov

Quotes 

• Yakov : May I become a wandering gypsy if I'm not telling the truth.

  Georgi : But you ARE a wandering gypsy.

  Yakov : That proves I'm telling the truth.

• Yakov : You'll regret this, you fat-faced village idiot!

  The Mayor : What! You... you... How dare you!

  Yakov : Keep your dirty hands off me, you misbegotten peasants!

  The Mayor : Tie him up!

  Yakov : The Emperor will tear this stinking village down over your ears, you thieving lard-bucket! Heads will roll here like marbles - yours first, and then this flea-ridden sack of nothing you call the Inspector General!

  Inspector General : Oh! Why, he's insane! Take him away! Take him away!

  Yakov : This isn't the Inspector General! Don't make me laugh! The great Emperor wouldn't appoint a thing like this to a post of such importance! THIS is your Inspector General! Here! His carriage, his manner, his bearing. Gentlemen, take your choice.
