1. I have a 27 room summer home in...
the Hampton's. I've been going there for years, but now that three members of my maid staff are retiring at the same time...this may be a good time to look for something new in the French Riviera.

10. Favourite MASH sequences
Charles (drunk): So there I was in Elewijt, standing the the very house where Rubens painted his most wonderful masterpiece, The Rape of the Daughter of Leucippus.
Kent (also drunk): Surely you jest. Hardly one of Rubens's best works. Oh, granted, it appeals to bourgeois taste, but— Besides, the mater painted that when he lived in Antwerp.
Charles: Well, it was merely an error in geography. My brain is not a map.
Kent: Barely a brain.
Charles: Oh yeah? Well, says you...you s— you boorish Sussex fop!
Kent: Ignorant Back Bay Philistine!
Charles: Snob!
Kent: Clod!
Charles: Dandy!
Kent: Cretin!
Charles: I don't care who your parents are. You can take your fathers villa and stuff it.
Kent: (laughs)
Charles: What's so funny?
Kent: It isn't my father's villa. It's my father's employer's villa.
Charles: What?!
Kent: Father is the butler. When I was old enough, I became the chauffeur. It helped put me through medical school.
Charles: But you told me—
Kent: I told you the truth. I summered in San Remo, and wintered in Sussex. You assumed the rest.
Charles: Well, you encouraged the assumption.
Kent: Well, why not? It was such fun to submit you to derision and watch you crawl back for more.
Charles: I did not.
Kent: You most certainly did. You assumed that only people of wealth and breeding have any taste or class. Well, mate, you have been outclassed by the sun of a bloody butler.
