Does anybody else think this is the funniest line ever? Vincent Price delivers it PERFECTLY!

It's a goodie. But Price plays every line to perfection.

According to an interview he gave shortly before his death, Mr. Price said that the voice of Professor Ratigan was his favorite, especially since he was given two musical numbers written especially for the role. The animators also kept notes on his exaggerated Shakespearian poses during the dialog recording and used them for his character. That's one of the reasons I love this film; Vincent Price in his scenery-chewing glory.

Much as I love that line, it pales in comparison to one of my most favorite parts, the heart attack. You can practically SEE Price voicing that scene... XD

Okay, Basil trying to control his blood pressure (after he sits on his violin) is funny. Ratigan's near-coronary is hysterical!

I also love when Ratigan gets so mad he bangs his head off of a bottle, then holds his head with the pain.

Catch ya on the flip side.

Oh, my god, yes!

"What?! Basil's on the case!" I'm laughing just picturing it.
