Marisa Berenson credited as playing...
Natalia Landauer
- [on the pronunciation of "phlegm"]
- Brian Roberts: P H is always pronounced as F, and, uh, you don't sound the G.
- Natalia Landauer: Then why are they putting the G, please?
- Brian Roberts: That's, that's a very good question, but rather difficult to explain.
- Sally: Try, Brian.
- Brian Roberts: Well, uh, it's just there.
- Natalia Landauer: So, Mr. Professor, you do not know?
- Brian Roberts: No.
- Natalia Landauer: Then I am sorry. I cannot help you.
- Sally: I saw a film the other day about syphilis. Ugh! It was too awful. I couldn't let a man touch me for a week. Is it true you can get it from kissing?
- Fritz: Oh, yes. And your king, Henry VIII, got it from Cardinal Wolsey whispering in his ear.
- Natalia: That is not, I believe, founded in fact. But from kissing, most decidedly; and from towels, and from cups.
- Sally: And of course screwing.
- Natalia: Screw-ing, please?
- Sally: Oh, uh...
- [thinking]
- Sally: fornication.
- Natalia: For-ni-ca-tion?
- Sally: Oh, uh, Bri, darling, what is the German word?
- Brian Roberts: I don't remember.
- Sally: [thinking] Oh... um... oh yes!
- Brian Roberts: Oh, no...
- Sally: Bumsen!
- Natalia: [appalled] Oh.
- Brian Roberts: That would be the one German word you pronounce perfectly.
- Sally: Well, I ought to. I spent the entire afternoon bumsening like mad with this ghastly old producer who promised to get me a contract.
- [pause]
- Sally: Gin, Miss Landauer?
