Fushta!!! Lol. That line became a running joke with me and my first wife. Any time one of us would leave a room, we would quickly step back in and say it then back out. Rip, my angel. I still think of how hard we laughed every time we did that.
This scene never fails to make me smile. Leslie Nielsen was the only man that could have pulled this scene off with Mel Brooks. No one could do a loving parody like Brooks, and there are few that stood anywhere near Nelson when it came the role of the straight man in a comedic setting.
Dear lord this is the finest example of deadpan parley that has ever existed. Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen are to comedy what Pacino & DeNiro are to drama. Put them in the same scene and it's pure gold.
In the original book by Bram Stoker, Van Helsing is described as a rather incompetent, goofy man. Except when dealing with a vampire, then he becomes all serious and professional. So Mel Brooks here is totally nailing the character.
