Duke: Honey, why is it I got the distinct impression you were taking liberties in translating my speech? Honey: Um... well, sir, I have softened a word here and there... Duke: Softened? Who said you could soften? Honey: My job is to look after you, sir. I knew you'd want me to modify any potentially embarrassing remarks! Duke: I don't believe this! Honey, tell me-- what did my speech end up being about? Honey: Your admiration for last year's ball bearing output. Duke: I spoke for 45 minutes on ball bearings? Honey: Yes, sir. And you were spellbinding!
