Steve Martin as RUPRECHT

This is one of my favorite set of scenes from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Brilliant!

[@jobhd1199]

This is a gem of a movie. That face on Steve Martin is just too much, especially when he says "Really" and the run after "Genitals Cuff". I am dying here.

Whenever at a gathering for dinner as a teen, I would randomly put on my "Ruprecht face" and stare at my younger brother until we made eye contact. Then I'd deadpan "Not mother?" exactly like Martin here and we'd both completely lose our shit.

Pure Genius! This movie and Blind Date. Under rated comedies! We had just moved in with my Mom after selling our home in 06. My Mom, brother, his girlfriend, husband and myself were all sick at the same time.

We were laughing and coughing. Looking back it was a perfect day. 😂🤧🤒

The ambience before she meets Rupprecht is a master class in comedy. Michael Caine closing the gate behind him, and the banging pot noise getting louder as they approach his cell makes me laugh harder now in my later years than anything else.

Many thanks for posting this clip. DRS was on Sky recently and so I recorded it. I had already seen it many years ago and loved it - especially this part.

Now that I have downloaded this clip, I can wet myself many, many more times. 'Scuse me. May I go to the bathroom first? ............................. Thank you.'
