"Just repeat three words. Alright. Elephant."
Father Goose was Cary Grant's 71st and penultimate full-length feature film.
Walter Eckland: [Jenny, who won't talk, has just given him a bottle of liquor. She doesn't reply when he says "Thank you." He holds up a whistle] See this whistle?
[Jenny nods "yes"]
Walter Eckland: Would you like to have it?
[She nods "yes" again]
Walter Eckland: OK. Now, all you have to do is repeat three simple words after me. Is that a deal?
[She nods "yes"]
Walter Eckland: Just repeat three words. Alright. Elephant.
Jenny: [Looks from Eckland to the whistle and back. Seems to consider for a moment] Elephant.
Walter Eckland: [He smiles, slightly] Rhinoceros.
Jenny: [More quickly this time] Rhinoceros.
Walter Eckland: Wrong.
Jenny: Why?
Walter Eckland: No, not "why," "wrong." Wrong is the third word. You lose.
