Eddie Izzard fans--there must be some around here.
I finished "Dress to Kill" yesterday (whole thing's uploaded on YouTube), and it's one giant laugh after another.

"Do you have a flag????"

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

3. "What is it, Leftenant Sebastian?"
"It's the rebels sir... they're here."

"Good god man, do they want tea?"

"No, I think they're after a bit more than that. I don't know what it is sir, but they've brought a flag."

6. And Engelbert Humperdinck!
Yes, he was the man. That's not his real name; he's from Britain, but that's not his name. There's very few Humperdincks in Britain. He was born Gerry Dorsey, not Engelbert Humperdinck. His parents were not Mr. and Mrs. Humperdinck. They never said, "What shall we call our son so he does not get the shit kicked out of him at school?"

"We shall call him Engelbert!"

"Good, that'll work!"

No, his name was Gerry Dorsey, and he released songs as Gerry Dorsey, songs such as (mumbles), which didn't work 'cause nobody could hear what he was saying. And then his managers, obviously, said, "We're going to change your name, Gerry! It's the name that's the problem!" And his name changed from Gerry Dorsey to Engelbert Humperdinck. I mean, I just wanted to be in the room when they were working that one through:

"Zingelbert Bembledack! Yingybert Dambleban! Zangelbert Bingledack! Wingelbert Humptyback! Slut Bunwalla!"

"What?!"

"All right, Kringelbert Fishtybuns! Steviebuns Bottrittrundle..."

"No, Gerry Dorsey, I like Gerry Dorsey!"

"No, we can't do it... Who we got? Zingelbert Bembledack, Tringelbert Wangledack, Slut Bunwalla, Klingybun Fistelvase, Dindlebert Zindledack, Gerry Dorsey, Engelbert Humptyback, Zengelbert Bingledack, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vingelbert Wingledanck..."

"No, no, go back one! Go back one! 'Engelbert Humperdinck.' That's it!"



:rofl:

8. He's really good as a transvestite, too--dresses quite well.
The whole bit with action and executive transvestites and the squirrel with makeup is great. :D

12. "Look, a speedboat would really kick ass, it will give great photos to the people in The Bible. "
"We can get all the animals with long ears to sit along the side… it’d be fucking excellent! Excellent photographs!"


:rofl:

Best comedian still alive, and one of the best ever, hands down.
