• Dr. Deere : Ah, Maximilian, how very good of you to be so punctual!

  Max : The name is Vandeveer. I don't wish to be on first name terms with anyone who's had their fingers up my rectum.

• Max : [Berating a subordinate]  What next, the 'Andes Plane Crash Cookbook'?

• Max : [to Dr. Deere, about being dangerously overweight]  Cut down? I am what I am precisely because I've eaten my way to the top! I'm a work of art, created by the finest chefs in the world. Every fold is a brush stroke! Every crease a sonnet! Every chin a concerto! In short doctor darling, in my present form, I'm a masterpiece!

• Max : I knew that divorce was too good to last!

• Max : Don't tell me another cook has been murdered! Who is it this time, Aunt Jemima?

• Max : Won't it be fun, just the two of us in my kitchen!

  Robby Ross : There's the three of us.

  Max : [speaking to Natasha]  So much for the fun.
