Whats your favorite line or scene from The Producers (1967)?

MAX BIALYSTOCK (Zero Mostel)
Roger, did you have a chance to read "Springtime For Hitler"?

ROGER DE BRIS (Christopher Hewett)
(Emerges from behind a partition wearing a dress)
Remarkable, Remarkable! A stunning piece of work.

LEO BLOOM (Gene Wilder)
(Under his breath) Max...he's wearing a dress.

MAX BIALYSTOCK
No kidding.

ROGER De BRIS
Did you know, I never knew that the Third Reich meant Germany..I mean it's just drenched with historical goodies like that....Oh dear, you're starring at my dress...I should explain...We are going to the choreographers ball tonight and there is a prize for the best costume.

CARMEN GIYA
And we always win!

ROGER De BRIS
I don't know about tonight..I'm supposed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia, but I think I look more like Tugboat Annie...What do you think, Mr Bloom?

LEO BLOOM
Where do you keep your wallet?

Zero yells this out after viewing dozens of actors trying out to be Hitler, and then the last one..is so perfect.....

Max..yells out..as loud as he can..."That's Our Hitler"

Here is Dick Shawn performing that song.."Love Power" at the audition..as..,Lorenzo St. Du Bois, then at the very end, Max Yells out.. :

"That's Our Hitler."...(you can barely hear him, but he screams it in the movie, and there is a close up) Here is a clip of that song, and at the very end, you can hear Max yell it out, "That's Our Hitler"

I this cracks me up for some reason.

I wonder why they took it down. Does somebody not understand satire?
