Stop Me Before I Kill! (1960)
Barbara Chilcott: Baroness de la Vailion
Quotes
-
Connie : [Screaming] Ahhhhhhh!
Harry Stonehouse : [Annoyed] Now what?
Connie : A spider!
David Prade : Oh, it's quite harmless... unless you're a male spider. This is a female.
Connie : You sure have good eyesight!
David Prade : No, the male is always small, and, in case you're interested, he gets eaten by the female after he has performed his necessary function.
Baroness de la Vailion : [In French] Ooo lala!
David Prade : Ah, you know, women tend to do the same thing.
Baroness de la Vailion : I must say I have never tried it.
David Prade : [laughs] I mean mentally and psychologically.
Denise Colby : You've obviously talked to a lot of spiders.
David Prade : No, but I've talked to men, and, like spiders, many of them enjoy being eaten psychologically.
Harry Stonehouse : [Alan seems to react negatively to this last remark] You can take me off the list.
David Prade : Oh, some fight against it. It's a mechanism of this sort, a bid to stave off being eaten by women which operates in certain individuals.
[Alan again appears to take Prade's remark personally]
Denise Colby : Is that why you're a bachelor?
[Everybody laughs]
