Nostalgia Critic (TV Series)

Rock-A-Doodle (2009)

Christopher Plummer: Grand Duke, Captain Von Trapp

Quotes 

• Nostalgia Critic : [completely abhorred to learn that the Grand Duke is voiced by Christopher Plummer]  Oh, God, what some people will do for a paycheck! He couldn't have thought this was a good movie! Nobody could've! He MUST of been under contract or something! That's the only excuse. In fact, I can just imagine him trying to sneak out of this movie.

  [a clip from "The Sound of Music" plays: the Von Trapps trying to escape Austria] 

  Max Detweiller : [to Captain Von Trapp]  I hear they're going to announce the casting for the villain today.

  Captain Von Trapp : By the time they've made the announcement, we'll be over the border.

  Herr Zeller : Trouble with your car, Mr. Plummer?

  Captain Von Trapp : Yes, as a matter of fact, we couldn't get it started!

  Herr Zeller : Surely you've heard that the studio wants you to provide the voice for the owl in their latest family romp, "Rock-A-Doodle"?

  Captain Von Trapp : I'm... afraid that's going to be... quite... impossible.

  Herr Zeller : Now, Mr. Plummer... surely you don't think you can defend yourself against the awesome power of studio-funded lawyers? No man has ever survived their verbal slaughter. So, I take it you'll change your mind about the role?

  Captain Von Trapp : ...Yes.

  Herr Zeller : Excellent. My men will escort you to the recording studio.

  Captain Von Trapp : No escort will be necessary.

  Herr Zeller : I insist. We wouldn't want you getting lost on your way over... would we?

  Captain Von Trapp : ...No.

  Herr Zeller : Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get Abe Vigoda for "Good Burger".
