Arthur (film)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The entire movie is hilarious, but some lines stand out, most of them spoken by Arthur when he's particularly drunk.
    • "I think I'll have another scotch; would you like another fish?"
    • "Oh, you're a hedge."
    • "Steal something casual."
    • * Notices someone with a Nice Hat* "Nice (continues walking, gets about five rows further) hat."
    • All of Arthur's speech when announcing that the wedding has been called off.
    • Susan: "A real woman could stop you from drinking." Arthur: "It'd have to be a real big woman."
    • And all the comments about the stuffed-and-mounted moose head on the wall at his fiance's father's mansion.

Arthur: You must have hated this moose.

    • Apparently there were a ton of different takes of this scene, with Dudley Moore playing off the moose a different way each time.
    • This exchange between Linda and her father.

Ralph: I take it this bum will be calling you?
Linda: Dad! He's a millionaire.
Ralph: You have my permission to marry him.

    • The scene of when Susan's dad grabs a knife from the cheese in an attempt to kill Arthur and Linda.

Ralph: (deliriously) He's taking the knife out of the cheese...do you think he wants some cheese?
