• Sir Geoffrey : [Conducting the Hooterville Symphony Orchestra]  Now please, let's try it: Brahm's Lullaby.

  [the band plays a crawling version of "There's a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"] 

  Sir Geoffrey : Stop, stop! Hold it, hold it! May I ask what you were playing?

  Eustace Charleton Haney : Well, what was you conductin'?

  Sir Geoffrey : Brahm's Lullaby.

  Eustace Charleton Haney : Then that's what we was playin.'

  Sir Geoffrey : That was not Brahm's Lullaby.

  Oliver Douglas : [to Sir Geoffrey]  Well it's as close as you're gonna get to it.

  Sir Geoffrey : Look is there anyone here who can read music?

  Ralph Monroe : Oh, I can.

  Sir Geoffrey : Oh, well then my dear, would you mind humming it for the others?

  Ralph Monroe : [to the tune of Brahms' Lullaby]  La-da-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah-dah, da-da-dah, la-da-dah, dah...

  Sir Geoffrey : Fine. Now, let's all hum it together.

  Band members : [to the tune of Brahms' Lullaby]  La-da-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah-dah, da-da-dah...

  Sir Geoffrey : Capital, capital, capital! Now, let's all play that.

  [the band plays "There's a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" as Sir Geoffrey breaks down and cries] 

• Ralph Monroe : Would you believe I've never heard Beethoven's 5th Symphony by, eh, Tchaikovsky?

  Oliver Douglas : Well, I don't think I've heard that myself.
