Ruprecht


Simply one of the great characters in movie history - Ruprecht from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

How about these scenes...

[Sitting at the dinner table]
Ruprecht: Excuse me. May I go to the bathroom first?
Lawrence Jamieson: Of course you may.
Ruprecht: [after a pause, and with relief] Thank you.

or...

[Ruprecht is mauling Lawrence's new girlfriend]
Lawrence Jamieson: Ruprecht!! do you want the genital cuff?

...

If you haven't seen this movie, go get it.

Besides The Jerk, it was Steve Martins best performance.

Thanks to James Payne for reminding the world of Ruprecht.
