When Martin's mother, Mary Blank (played by
Barbara Harris), is seen in a mental hospital
babbling incoherently, she
exits stage right and recites several lines from a
poem followed by the line "Silly. Bye, Martin". The poem is actually a distortion of the last few lines of
The Ladies by
Rudyard Kipling.
Mary says:
The Colonel's lady, like Judy O'Grady
Are twins under the skin!
Kipling's original text:
For the Colonel’s lady an’ Judy O’Grady,
Are sisters under their skins!
