Stephen: Oddly enough, "sauros" was ancient Greek slang for "penis". "Sauros" means "lizard", and they would call it your "lizard". Your knob. Just thought you'd like to know that.
Alan: Why is "thesaurus", then? Is that Latin?
Stephen: That's a different word. "Thesaurus" means a "treasure house" or "repository". In this case, a treasure house of words.
Alan: So you might refer to your backside as a "thesaurus".
Stephen: I'd like to think my bottom is a treasure house, yes, Alan.
Alan: "My bottom is a treasure house" is a really good catch phrase.

Stephen: What do the French call custard?
Alan: Coutar!
Stephen: Good guess, but no. They don't really have a word for custard, they don't believe it exists. What we call custard they call crème anglaise.
Bill: What would you say, if you go, "I want custard on it." [French accent] "I'm afraid, sir, it does not exist." "You have placed me into an existential quandry . . . I'm afraid I will have to leave the restaurant. You, sir, you are barred for life."
