Chorus Girls quotes from Animaniacs

[to the chorus girls] Hello nurses, say why don't you stop by the water tower and I'll show you my stamp collection.

CGChorus Girl

[giggling] But Yakko, you don't have a stamp collection.

[puts his finger under her chin] Alright then, you can open my mail.

In Hollywood, they have a different language that they speak.

It's spoken by those folks who went to school for just one week.

It's found inside Variety, a magazine they use.

YDYakko and Dot

And no one understands it when they read the movie news.

Like "Hix makes pix but the flick needs fix"...

Means someone made a movie that bombed.

"The VEEPS in charge are now at large"...

Means everyone involved is gone.

"The plot conflix, no beautiful chix"...

So it's comin' out on video soon.

"They're takin' their licks 'cause the critics say nix"...

And the editors are gonna try to fix it in the mix.

Well, "the stock sees green" on page 13...

Means Disney's up a nickel a share.

"Stallone cuts deal for a major reel"...

Means Rocky Number VI, so beware!

If you want the poop.

Or ya need the scoop.

"A boffo-smash makes Warner cash"...

Means there's gonna be a sequel next year.

But "Paramount hurts and they're losing their shirts"...

Means Schwarzenegger's doing King Lear.

"Oliver Stone does next Home Alone"...

Means he's gettin' paid an arm and a leg. The budget goes "crunch!"...

But his name "packs punch"...

So they called up the accountants and they're gonna "do lunch".

Well, "the ratings smile on the O.J. trial"...

Means a movie of the week to premiere.

Bop, doo, bop, doo, bop, doo, bah, dah!

In Hollywood, they have a certain way they like to talk.

It's used by all those folks who can't chew gum and also walk.

It's found inside Variety, a movie magazine.

And everyone who reads it wonders what the headlines mean.

Like "Mitch makes a pitch, and he's gonna get rich"...

Means someone's got a movie that sold.

Means someone else was offered the role.
