Some Like It Hot (1959 film)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Two guys dressing up as women, and playing it for laughs? Awesome!
  • Joe apologizing because the motor boat will only move backwards. "I'm afraid it may take a little longer."
  • The "Cary Grant" voice.
  • Spats to a coin-flipping wise guy: "Where did you pick up that cheap trick?"
  • "Daphne" in the berth, with the lady band members passing food around and a corkscrew's been brought. "Girls, keep it down! You'll wake up the neighbours downstairs, now Josephine... WATCH THAT CORKSCREW!"
  • This dialogue:

Jerry: (dancing an ecstatic tango on the bed) I'm engaged!
Joe: Congratulations, who's the lucky girl?
Jerry: ...I am!

    • And a little later:

Joe: Jerry, there's another problem. Like, what are you going to do on your honeymoon?
Jerry: We've been discussing that. He wants to go to the Riviera, but I kind of lean towards Niagara Falls.

    • And a little later:

Joe: Jerry, listen to me! There are laws, there are conventions; it's just not done!
Jerry: Joe, this may be my last chance to marry a millionaire!

  • The last lines of the movie:

Jerry: Oh no you don't! Osgood, I'm gonna level with you. We can't get married at all.
Osgood: Why not?
Jerry: Well, in the first place, I'm not a natural blonde.
Osgood: Doesn't matter.
Jerry: I smoke! I smoke all the time!
Osgood: I don't care.
Jerry: Well, I have a terrible past. For three years now, I've been living with a saxophone player.
Osgood: I forgive you.
Jerry: [Tragically] I can never have children!
Osgood: We can adopt some.
Jerry: But you don't understand, Osgood!
Jerry finally gives up and pulls off his wig.
Jerry: Ohh... I'm a man!
Osgood: Nobody's perfect!

  • "I tell you, it's a whole different sex!"
