Quotes

Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy

Edit
  • Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: I overheard Doctor Zoomer say he needed a couple of men to accompany his mummy back to the States.
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: Is she afraid to travel by herself?
  • Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: She? No, Lou. This mummy is a he. What's wrong with that? Some mummies are men, some mummies are women.
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: Such a strange country.
  • Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: What's strange about it, Lou?
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: Your mummy, your mummy. Wasn't she a woman?
  • Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: I never had a mummy.
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: What did your Father do? Win you in a crap game?
  • Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: What's the matter?
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: I thought you were gonna slap me!
  • Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: How stupid can you get?
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: How stupid do you want me to be?
  • Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: Where will we find the Mummy?
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: Don't worry. The Mummy will find you!
  • Madame Rontru: There is no curse that a gun or a knife can't cure.
  • Madame Rontru: [looking at a fluroscope of Freddie's insides] A marble, two buttons, a safety pin...
  • Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: I lost a tie clasp two years ago, see if that's in there.
  • The Flower Girl: Flowers?
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: [points to one bunch of flowers] How much are these?
  • The Flower Girl: A dollar.
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: [points to another bunch] How much are these?
  • The Flower Girl: A dollar.
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: I got no money.
  • [throws a bouquet back on the tray]
  • The Flower Girl: No money?
  • [picks up the bunch he threw back]
  • The Flower Girl: They're a little wilted, you can have them for nothing.
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: [after along back and forth between picking the pick and shovel when Lou can't figure out why Bud wont take the pick] C'mon you take your pick.
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: [Abbott takes shovel] You took the shovel!

  • Josef: Remember, he's dangerous,
  • Madame Rontru: So am I.
  • [a hand reaches out from a stuffed lion's head to grab Lou's coat]
  • Madame Rontru: Isn't that head a scary thing? You know, they say that animal devoured a man before they shot it.
  • Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: And when they stuffed it, they forgot to pull the guy out.
  • [first lines]

  • [Charlie, dressed up like a mummy, and Josef approach Klaris' sarcophagus]
  • Josef: I'll bury him. You take his place.
