The Old Woman Character...
I don't know why, but when Ernest disguises himself as an old lady in that green dress and neck brace I lose it every time. Loved it as a kid, and even more as an adult. My favorite line in this movie is when he (she) tells the receptionist (who's been making excuses for the old lady's supposed delinquet son):
"Don't side with him, honey, there's no future in it..."
Mr. Varney was a talented man. Wish more people saw the value in the very earnest "Ernest" character he created.
"This red planet means more to me, now, than your blue one..."
