Quotes 

• Professor Furie : I need meat, I'm not a sociologist! I can't work on hippie food!

• Professor Furie : Well! That was the worst steak I've had in years. Where's that girl? Over here, Toots!

  Waitress : [walks over]  Did you call, Professor Furie?

  Professor Furie : Indeed I did. That steak was terrible. It was roughly hacked by an incompetent butcher from the wrong end of a third-rate animal, badly hung, and then grilled to a frazzle by an idiot.

  Waitress : Why did you eat it, then?

  Professor Furie : Because I was starving! Don't bandy words with me!

• Professor Furie : My compliments to the chef, and would he care for a fistfight with Professor Furie!

• Dr. Stephen Daker : Do sit down, I was hoping we could have a chat.

  Professor Furie : About my wife, perhaps?

  Dr. Stephen Daker : No. I did speak to her yesterday, I hope you don't mind.

  Professor Furie : In bed, no doubt. While you were shafting her, no doubt! Typical of you cold-blooded Tavvy types! Yes I do mind, very much indeed, does that surprise you? My God, I thought of Buzzard, I even thought of McCannon, but it was you, you all the time, Daker! And don't think I'm unaware of the part the Chilean government played in this!

  Dr. Stephen Daker : [pressing intercom, meekly]  Help!
