Do you ever get a feeling like you're being watched? - Connie Pen
And the submissions are...
Jack, these folks are from the collection agency. Harpo says you're a week late in the harp rental! - Frev
Wait, I'm thinking about my old days in the orchestra pit back in Waukegan, only my violin had fewer strings! Anyway sister, can you play Love in Bloom? - Ken Busse
Do you ever get a feeling like you're being watched? - Connie Pen
Mr. Benny, I don't care if we wait here all day, I am not giving you a quarter to get out from behind this harp! - Chuck Carson
WELL IT' OK BUT I PLAY LOVE IN BLOOM ON MY VIOLIN BETTER - ROBERT JUMPER
Jack: Harpo, I don't mind you being in drag, but did you have to steal my dress? - Mike E.
But Mr. Benny...the Marx Brothers ALREADY have a HARPIST..they don't need another one..especially one called CHEAPO!!! - Gummo
Jack: Look, Martha, I don't mean to be petty. It's just that I should be the only one allowed to play the harp. And, you're blocking my shot. I bet Harpo was never at the mercy of a prima donna. Is it time for my closeup? - r.p.
Look Jack, the man on the stool crosses is legs left over right, like a man, you cross your legs right over left, like a girl! - Chuck Carson
Golly...all this attention just because I'm wearing a white-tied tuxedo...I mean it's not THAT unusual... - Bodeswell
That man over there isn't looking at you, Jack.
Jack: Hmmm. You'd think a penny a piece would be enough to inspire loyal
fans. - Sarah K.
Look, if wanted a blond, you should have called Harpo. - FNV
Jack, did you slice cheese on my harp while I was at lunch? - Dean
Then explain to me why you have a six foot string on your violin and I have one missing? - Lauren Marie
Harp, who goes there? Oh yes, the horn does blow at midnight, my mind is going Jello again. - Ken Busse
Jack: No...no, I'm not ... in fact, I thought YOU were Harpo. - Brad from Georgia
So I bought a new tux... don't everybody look so stunned!!! - Gord S.
If he wants QUIET on the set he should get rid of those LOUD socks! - Moose Hatrack
Jack, if you use your violin bow on my harp again, I'll kill you. - Debra Lyn
Look, for the thousandth time, I'm NOT Harpo Marx, that guy wears a WIG! - Phil Curry
I'd like you to meet Harpo's long lost cousin - Cheapo... - Mr. X
Rochester: After playing Love in Bloom 390 times, look what
your violin has now turned into!
Jack: Now just how am I supposed to tuck this one under my chin? - Ken (
when/where is the next Jack Benny show audition?) Busse
Forgive me sister for I have sinned....I started playing the violin instead of the harp, this is my first confession. - Ken Busse
Well, Jack, it's a thought, but I don't think you can get this harp to fit under your chin. - Nora
I can't hold this under my chin and play Love in Bloom! Imagine the size of the bow!!! Honestly! - Robert Howe
Well, are you gonna play it or look at it? - Josef
put the quarter in the slot first sister - Mr. X
Jack:Hmmmmm........I'm told THIS thing will slice one tomato so thin that each slice will have only one side..... - Jason Beard
Jack: I don't care if she plays that harp like an angel.....As Athanael, I am a BETTER angel than she in 'The Horns Blows at Midnight'! - Scott D. Vroegindewey (Kansas City, MO)
I've always thought 'When I Say I Beg Your Pardon' would work equally well with a straight popular song treatment, or, with some semi-classical touches... - Scott Pitzer
