Wanda:
But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?

Otto:
[superior smile] Apes don't read philosophy.

Wanda:
Yes they do, Otto, they just don't understand it! Now let me correct you on a couple things, okay? Aristotle was not Belgian! The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself!" And the London Underground is not a political movement! Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked 'em up. Now. You have just assaulted the one man who can keep you out of jail and make you rich. So what are you going to do about it, huh? What would... an intellectual do? What would Plato do?

Otto:
[mumbles] M'pologize.
