Sir Herbert: Oh, well... give me some decent English aspirin!
Laurence Faggot: [pulls out a lit marijuana joint] Here, Sir Herb, try this. It's just what the doctor ordered.

Facts about
After watching rushes from the first day of filming, Peter Sellers leaped to his feet and said "Thank God we caught it in time!" He felt his performance was so bad that the film should be canceled. He was eventually persuaded to continue.
The movie's theme song "Come And Get It" was written and produced by Paul McCartney.
Sellers wanted to film the final scene, of the vat of manure, at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Sellers, Starr, their families, entourage, and some of the film's production team traveled to New York on the luxury liner Queen Elizabeth 2. John Lennon and Yoko Ono hoped to join them and travel to the United States, but were not allowed, due to Lennon's being denied a US visa (lookalikes were filmed boarding instead). The footage at the Statue of Liberty was not used, and no filming was done on the ship.
