      So cute

      The comedies of the great masters of that era were very elegant, such as Liu Bieqian, such as Stachys. I think the most difficult thing about comedy is to grasp a certain degree, and have a hilarious effect without being vulgar (Chaplin is too preaching, Lloyd is too vulgar). The meticulousness of...

      The comedy also fell one after another, but changed into a new clothes and pretended to be resurrected with blood. (Also FU Hay's Code)

    The Lady Eve quotes

    • Charles: You ought to put handles on that skull. Maybe you could grow geraniums in it.

    • Charles: Do you think they're dancing anyplace on board?

      Jean: Don't you think we ought to go to bed?

      Charles: You're certainly a funny girl for anybody to meet who's just been up the Amazon for a year.

      Jean: Good thing you weren't up there two years.
