The Cocoanuts
1929
Chico: Right now I'd do anything for money. I'd kill somebody for money. I'd kill *you* for money. (Harpo looks dejected) Chico: Ha ha ha. Ah, no. You're my friend. I'd kill you for nothing. (Harpo smiles)
Hammer: Hey, hey! You know that suitcase is empty? Chico: That's all right. We fill it up before we leave.
Hammer: I'm gonna put extra blankets, free, in all your rooms, and there'll be no cover charge.
Hammer: Three years ago I came to Florida without a nickel in my pocket. Now I've got a nickel in my pocket.
Hammer: Wages? Do you want to be wage slaves? Answer me that! Bellhops: No. Hammer: No, of course not. But what makes wage slaves? Wages!
Hammer: What would you like? Would you like a suite on the third floor? Chico: No. I'll take a Pollack in the basement.
Jamison: Any luck with the 4: 30? Hammer: Yeah. It didn't hit me.
(Answering telephone) Hammer: Hello? Yes? Ice water in 318? Is that so? Where'd you get it? Oh, you want some.
Mrs Potter: Get out of this room, or I'll scream for the servants. Hammer: Let the servants know! Let the whole world know! About us! Mrs Potter: You must leave my room. We must have regard for certain conventions. Hammer: One guy isn't enough, she's gotta have a convention.
Hammer: Now here is a little peninsula and here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland. Chico: Why a duck?
Hammer: Why, it's the most exclusive residential district in Florida. *Nobody* lives there.
Hammer: (on phone) You want to know where you can get a hold of Mrs Potter? I don't know, she's awfully ticklish.
Hammer: Believe me, you gotta get up early if you want to get out of bed.
(the Marx Brothers are chasing each other through Mrs Potter's suite) Hammer: This hotel not only has running water. It has running guests!
Hammer: All along the river, those are all levees. Chico: That's the Jewish neighborhood? Hammer: Well, we'll pass over that.
Hammer: You can have any kind of a home you want. You can even get stucco. Oh, how you can get stucco.
Hammer: Jail is no place for a young fellow. There's no advancement.
Hammer: I can see it now: you and the moon - wear a necktie so I'll know you.
Hammer: Get away from that tree before it dies.
