* Mrs. Upjohn's physical examination by Hackenbush while a skeptical Whitmore and Dr. Steinberg watch on. Margaret Dumont gets laughs as she's made to flap her arms like a bird and get inverted in the exam chair, but the Marx Brothers' examination-cum-auto-body-work antics that steal the scene, ending only when Hackenbush's lecherous tendencies get the best of him.

Added DiffLines:

* Hackenbush's attempt at a late-night romantic dinner with Flo, which is constantly interrupted by Tony (Chico) and Stuffy (Harpo). It goes from simple slapstick and physical comedy to an impromptu wallpaper-hanging session that leaves her under the cushions.

* "Getta ya tootsie-frootsie ice cream."
** "I'm getting a fine tootsie-frootsying right here!"
** "ZVBXRPL. Hey, Tootsie-Frootsie, what's this optical illusion you slipped me?"
** "The letter Z stands for J unless the horse is a filly..."
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icq2KvONMPA Groucho throwing off an attempt to learn his real identity]] by pretending to be multiple people over the phone and turning on a fan to simulate hurricane winds.
--> '''Groucho:''' ''(in falsetto, twice)'' Here's your Florida call, Mr. Whitmore!
* Harpo's attempt to perform Music/SergeiRachmaninoff's ''Prelude in C-sharp Minor'' on a piano that keeps progressively falling apart and blowing up. Not to be outdone, he pulls the string assembly out and -- lo and behold -- it's a harp. (Wait, is there such a thing as Artistic License: Musical Instrument?)
