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".

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...).

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.

i'm guessing French.

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