[Marvin is in town for his nephew's bar mitzvah. His brother has set him up with a hooker, who is in his bed, unconscious, when Marvin's wife, Millie, arrives. Marvin tries desperately to keep her from seeing the hooker, but finally gives in to the inevitable]
Marvin Michaels : Millie... I want you to turn around. But please - no matter what you see - don't say anything for ten seconds.
[Millie turns. She sees the unconscious hooker]
Millie Michaels : One... two... I'm praying, Marvin. I'm praying very hard the maid came in here to do your room, got dizzy, and fainted from overwork. I'm praying to God the maids in this hotel wear pajamas.
