Kit's Agent: This is a great script! Look, it's not Shakespeare, but it...
Kit: Hey, what did you just say?
Agent: I said, 'it's not Shakespeare'...
Kit: 'It's not Shake... ', 'It's not Shake... ' (to Freddy) Do you hear what he's doing?
Freddy: I know he's doing something, I just can't put my finger on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah... What's he doing?
Kit: Shakespeare, Freddy, Shakespeare!
Freddy: Shakespeare?
Kit: Shake a spear! Spearchucker! I'm a spearchucker now!

but there's just so much great stuff

I'd like to gently suggest Death at a Funeral also by Mr Oz. I loved it.

Martin's kind of snooty about physical comedy. In his mind, he's probably taken Peter Seller's mantle and is now showing off his mastery of the craft.
