Quotes 

• Statler : You know, the older I get, the more I appreciate good music.

  Waldorf : Yeah? What's that got to do with what we just heard?

  Statler : Nothing, just thought I'd mention it.

• Statler : You know, there's nothing like grand opera.

  Waldorf : Yep, and that was nothing like it.

• Statler : That really offended me. I'm a student of Shakespeare.

  Waldorf : Ha! You were a student *with* Shakespeare.

• Statler : Now wasn't that a cultural show?

  [sees Waldorf asleep] 

• Statler : Boy, he's really good, that Rudolf Nureyay... Nurayeye... You know, I should really learn to pronounce his name.

  Waldorf : Don't bother now. After this show, he'll probably change it!
