Marvin Piermont : [in a fast-talking New York accent, standing near a horse-drawn carriage in front of a Bermuda hotel] Well, here we are kids! Isn't this swell? What do you think about it?
Teenie Moore : [in American accent] Why?
Marvin Piermont : What do you mean why? It's a grand place around here. Look at the atmosphere, and the horses are almost extinct.
Teenie Moore : Yeah, I noticed it too.
Marvin Piermont : [in aside to Teenie] Come here a minute. Get a load of this.
Marvin Piermont : [speaking to their black carriage driver in an exaggerated southern drawl] Pardon me, son, I didn't get a chance to talk to you on the way down here. How are conditions in this here portion of the world?
Driver : [in posh British accent] Oh, conditions are top hold, sir! Cheerio!
Marvin Piermont : [humiliated] Cheerio.
Teenie Moore : [in British accent] Well, Marvin. That taught you a lesson, didn't it?
Marvin Piermont : [in New York accent] Yeah, in English!
