Vicctoria Brisbane: [bursting into Thorndyke's room] Get away from the door!
[begins wheezing as if out of breath]
Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke: Who are you?
Victoria Brisbane: Get away from me.
Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke: Just a second...
[she cuts him off]
Victoria Brisbane: Be quiet, they'll hear you. Don't move. Go inside. Go to your room.
[they enter the living room]
Victoria Brisbane: The drapes! Close the drapes!
Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke: The drapes. Close the drapes.
[Repeating, to himself]
Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke: Close the drapes.
Victoria Brisbane: Close the other one. Get down! Lower! Good. Quick, come here. Get up. Sit down. Not there, here.
Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke: Here?
Victoria Brisbane: There.
Victoria Brisbane: I'm sorry, please forgive me. I'm just SO close to my menstrual cycle that I could SCREAM.
Victoria Brisbane: How did you, ummmm... get my room number? I am not going to listen to any more of this, I mean, I've had just about enough! What are you wearing? Jeans? you're wearing jeans? I bet they're tight.

Colonel Mustard: Well, you've paid the blackmail. How many husbands have you had?
Mrs. White: Mine, or other womens'?
Colonel Mustard: Yours.
Mrs. White: Five.
Colonel Mustard: Five?
Mrs. White: Yes, five. Husbands should be like kleenex; soft, strong and disposable.
Colonel Mustard: You lure men to their deaths like a spider with flies.
Mrs. White: Flies are where men are most vulnerable.

great cast, but sadly not available to rent, or sale.

I absolutly LOVE her. She is one of the most brillian comedians ever. I can't think of anyone who come remotely close to her. Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite movies, and she is just perfect in it.
I still laugh when I watch her doing "Not Getting Married Today" especially when she goes "Its on the dresser...right next to my suicide note..."

Let us not forget WHY she's tired: "All the coming and going and going and coming. Let's face it. I'M TIRED!"
And of course there's "Oh, I think I love him."

In case you didn't know, The Broadway Collector Series recently released (for the first time ever on CD) Leonard Sillman's New Faces of '68, featuring a very young and then-unknown Madeline Kahn. She sings the hell out of "Das Chicago Song". You might want to check it out!

BEAUTIFUL woman. I, too, love her "Getting Married" number on the Sondheim Tribute DVD.
I also LOVE her oscar-nominated performance as Trixie Delight in "Paper Moon." Had Tatum been in the Best Actress Category, Madeline Probably could have won.
