I was watching "Dear Dad Three" last night, and one of my fav scenes is in
Margaret's tent --- "Frank, I have a mind and a brain"...."oh yes, darling, let
me kiss your brain".....later in the conversation Margaret says "take your
face.....your married face....and get out", to which Frank responds (spelled
phonetically, of course), "a-veck play-zeer, miss snake in the grass", to
which Margaret calls him a two-timing four flusher, etc....

Anyway, what does Frank really say? Is "A-veck Play-zeer"...(scuse the
spelling) Latin? Pig Latin? another language? something obvious that I'm
missing??

Thanks,

Linda T.

It's French.

"Avec plaisir", meaning "with pleasure".

i'm guessing French.

My embarrassingly bad anglo-Cannuck francais thinks it might be "avec
plaisir" (with pleasure).

Another great mystery of the ages explained. I, too, never could figure this
out (not being a French-speaking person. Latin, on the other hand...).

Wonderful! Thanks for all the replies -- now I can watch the episode again and
"get" what he is saying!

Rusty, at best, but still loads better than my French (which is virtually
non-existent).

I thought he said "a vexed brazzier" miss snake in the grass.
Anyway
