Lillian Elliott: Irish Woman Who Doesn't Know French

Quotes 

• Irish Woman Who Doesn't Know French : [answers door to Woody's knock]  What is it?

  Harwood 'Woody' Hollister : Pardonnez-moi, mais parley-vous Francais?

  Irish Woman Who Doesn't Know French : Aye? What did you say?

  Harwood 'Woody' Hollister : I, I asked you whether you spoke French.

  Irish Woman Who Doesn't Know French : Why should I speak French? Ain't things bad enough the way they are? Look, they just took away me vacuum cleaner because the last installment was overdue, and me old man's been drunk for 3 weeks come Thursday, and you ask me, can I speak French!
