Morty the Mime Quotes in This Is Spinal Tap (1984)

[at the pre-tour party, the waiters are mime artists]

Marty DiBergi: It's such an interesting concept, mixing mime and food.

Morty the Mime: It's a kick isn't it? Well, I used to be an actor but I could never remember my lines, so I thought "just shut up", you know? Don't say nothing. And my father used to say the same thing to me every dinner time, he used to say to me "shut up and eat", so that's what we do and that's the name of the company "shut up and eat".

[at the pre-tour party one of the waiters is on his way back to the kitchen with an entire tray of food]

Morty the Mime: Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah. How come you got so much here?

Mime Waiter: I don't know, they're not eating it.

Morty the Mime: Did you do the wind?

Mime Waiter: I did the wind, I did the wind.

Morty the Mime: No, you don't push the wind away, the wind comes at you. Ok change those, get the little dwarf canolies. Come on, don't talk back, mime is money, come on, move it.
