Please, could anyone please supply me, verbatim, the lines that Charles Grodin used to describe Cybil Shepherd's mom's meal? I loved that scene!! I just remember something along the lines of "there is no deceit in the cauliflower". I'm planning on renting it sometime again but am anxious to get those lines straight.
shareThis is from the NYT review of the movie:
Lenny, dining with Kelly's parents in their huge, clapboard ice palace in Minnesota, tries to say nice things about the "plain" food. Food in New York, he expains, "is exotic but not honest. There's nothing dishonest about these potatoes. There's no deceit in that cauliflower. . ."
Thought it was 'there's no pretension in these potato's' - one of my favourite lines. Eddie Albert's 'what a crock of *beep* was pretty good too !
shareYou can see the clip on YouTube right now! Go to:

"This is honest food. There's no lying in that beef. There's no insincerity in those potatoes. There's no deceit in the cauliflower. This is a totally honest meal."
What a CROCK! It's soooo funny!
