Line 54:
** Possibly also because Otto just knows scattered words and phrases in Italian, while Archie is actually fluent in Russian.
** Averted in that Kevin Kline asked for Otto's dialog to be changed to French because he (Kline) [[Completely Missing the Point|actually knows the language.]] John Cleese refused.
* Everything Julie Delpy says as titular character of ''[[Killing Zoe]].'' It's all either sexy

{{quote|"Château Haut-Brion 1959, magnificent wine, I love French wine, like I love the French language. I have sampled every language, French is my favorite -- fantastic language, especially to curse with. ''Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperies de connards d'enculé de ta mère''.

* Deployed for comedy in the Canadian film ''Bon Cop, Bad Cop''. A man in bed with a woman uses schoolroom French drills to great effect: "Jean-Paul et Nicole aller<ref>Jean-Paul and Nicole ''to go'' to school?</ref> à l'école!" "Again!" As the woman orgasm, she screams "Vive le Québec libre", which is a famous phrase meaning "Long live free<ref>As in, independent from Canada</ref> Quebec!" pronounced by former French President [[Charles de Gaulle]].
* In ''[[Happy New Year]]'', English has this effect for Hindi-speaking Mohini, and she falls very hard for Charlie in the first place because of his fluency in the language. When Charlie accidentally offends her, Nandu (who was who introduced them in the first place) advices him on the vein of "just tell her anything in English and she instantly will forgive you." Her own attempts with the English language end into the [[Engrish]] banner.
