I know this is a bit on the trivial end, but I'm trying to locate a movie for reference in something I'm writing. I know I've seen this somewhere, and I can't place it. I don't think I saw the entire movie, probably just a scene or two.
I remember seeing Peter Lorre asking something like, "Can I kill him? Can I kill him now, boss?"
I've looked on Google and found one comment that indicates it may be in The Sad Sack, and I have ordered it, but I don't know when it will arrive and the one place I saw that stated sounded like the author wasn't positive it was from that movie -- and I really can't keep watching every movie someone thinks contained that line.
Does anyone know where that line came from?
Best Answer
You're right! It is Sad Sack and here is the clip. The line is "Please, can I kill him now?"
I had rejected that because the image of Peter Lorre I had was a much younger, leaner version -- so I ruled out all movies after about '55.
Perhaps this is not the only movie he said this line in... :)
