Trouble in Paradise/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • "Tonsils! I distinctly remember tonsils!"
  • Gaston is preparing for his upcoming supper with Lily, with the waiter:

Gaston: Beginnings are always difficult.
Waiter: Yes, Baron.
Gaston: If Casanova suddenly turned out to be Romeo having supper with Juliet, who might become Cleopatra, how would you start?
Waiter: (Beat) I would start with cocktails.

    • And a little later, as Gaston continues to describe the supper he wants:

Gaston: I want to see, um...
Waiter: (gets it) Yes, Baron.
Gaston: And as for you, waiter...
Waiter: Yes, Baron?
Gaston: I don't want to see you at all.
Waiter: (slightly hurt Gaston needs to say this) No, Baron.
