• Marvin Piermont : [in a fast-talking New York accent, standing near a horse-drawn carriage in front of a Bermuda hotel]  Well, here we are kids! Isn't this swell? What do you think about it?

  Teenie Moore : [in American accent]  Why?

  Marvin Piermont : What do you mean why? It's a grand place around here. Look at the atmosphere, and the horses are almost extinct.

  Teenie Moore : Yeah, I noticed it too.

  Marvin Piermont : [in aside to Teenie]  Come here a minute. Get a load of this.

  Marvin Piermont : [speaking to their black carriage driver in an exaggerated southern drawl]  Pardon me, son, I didn't get a chance to talk to you on the way down here. How are conditions in this here portion of the world?

  Driver : [in posh British accent]  Oh, conditions are top hold, sir! Cheerio!

  Marvin Piermont : [humiliated]  Cheerio.

  Teenie Moore : [in British accent]  Well, Marvin. That taught you a lesson, didn't it?

  Marvin Piermont : [in New York accent]  Yeah, in English!
