Leonard Crabbe Quotes in A Mighty Wind (2003)

Mitch Cohen: [while eating dinner] What is it you do, Leonard? For work?

Leonard Crabbe: Oh, for work. I'm in the bladder management industry. I sell catheters. I have my own distribution company, Sure Flo Medical Appliances. You may have heard of it.

Mickey Crabbe: You know, this might make good dessert talk.

Leonard Crabbe: I'm a model train enthusiast.

Amber Cole: Oh! That's great!

[chuckles]

Leonard Crabbe: Yes... sort of a whole layout in my basement. Very much a big passion for me, 'tis.

Amber Cole: Yeah. Thank God for model trains.

Leonard Crabbe: Oh, absolutely.

Amber Cole: You know, if they didn't have the model train, they wouldn't have gotten the idea for the big trains.

Leonard Crabbe: [Leonard shows Mitch his model trains] This whole area here is called Crabbe Town. We've got a brothel down there above the saloon. And right down there further along I'm thinking of building a French Quarter. I've actually got a bit of French blood.

Mitch Cohen: I would love to see this town in the autumn. I think Crabbeville in autumn would look quite magnificent. I would have made tiny little leaves, oak, poplar, maple, chestnut, and spread them across the town of Crabbeville. Magnificent.

Leonard Crabbe: It's Crabbe Town, not Crabbeville.

Mitch Cohen: What do you do, Leonard? For work?

Leonard Crabbe: Oh work! I'm in the bladder management industry. I sell catheters. I've started my own distribution company, Sure Flo, you might have heard of it.
