Animal Crackers Quote

Capt. Spaulding: Now read me the letter, Jamison.

Horatio Jamison: [reading] "Honorable Charles H. Hungadunga..."

Capt. Spaulding: [correcting him] Hungerdunger.
[they say the "hung" syllable in unison]

Capt. Spaulding: Hoong.

Horatio Jamison: Hungerdunger.

Capt. Spaulding: That's it, Hungerdunger.

Horatio Jamison: [continues reading] "... care of Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, and McCormick."

Capt. Spaulding: You've left out a Hungerdunger. You left out the main one, too. Thought you could slip one over on me, didn't you, eh?
[pause]

Capt. Spaulding: All right, leave it out and put in a windshield wiper instead.
[Jamison nods and writes]

Capt. Spaulding: I tell you what you do, Jamison, I tell you what. Make it, uh, make it three windshield wipers and one Hungerdunger. They won't all be there when the letter arrives anyhow.

Horatio Jamison: [rushes quickly through what he's just written] "... Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger... and McCormick."

Capt. Spaulding: And McCormick.

Horatio Jamison: [reading] "Gentlemen, question mark."

Capt. Spaulding: [correcting him] Gentlemen, question mark? Put it on the penultimate, not on the diphthongic. You wanna brush up on your Greek, Jamison. Well, get a Greek and brush up on him.

Horatio Jamison: [reading] "In re yours of the fifth inst..."

Capt. Spaulding: I see.
