And about three people there thought they maybe they didn't know for sure they tried.

And I think one of them was Melbrook's mother.

I think she helped me the most.

I don't know anything.

When I first came out the door and I say, I am Frau Blocher.

And I think it said with such measurement, I was so careful to try to do it right.

Otherwise, I'd say, I am Frau Blucher.

But I said, I am Frau Blucher.

The running gag in Young Frankenstein is whenever anybody says Frau Blucher, the horse is Winnie.

Mel told me a few years ago that Blucher meant glue.

I'm not sure that's true, but it sure is funny.

So it's like they're threatening the horses with the blue factory.

So what did you learn about comedy working with Mel Brooks?

I'll tell you one thing.

I was going up the steps with Jean and the other two.

Remember in the castle, I'm going to show them around.

And I had a candelabra with the candles not lit.

And I turn, I say, stay close to the candles.

The staircase can be treacherous.
