In Duck Soup, he says to Margaret Dumont, after she told him her late husband left her his entire fortune, "Will you marry me. How much did he leave you? Answer the second question first."

Mark,I've taped 'em all over the years,and still pull 'em out every now and then.I still break out laughing--I just can't help it.
