It makes more sense if you hear Chicollini say it.
So, I have a recital in two weeks of a part from Faust. This is a youtube video of some pompous ass singing it. Ignore the fact he looks like one of the guys from the State. I hope it gets recorded, so I know if I suck. My teacher, classically-trained pianist and lover of all sorts of music,

There's a whole lot of irrelephants in the circus.

Funny. We just watched the movie tonight. It Firefly's line...

Rufus T. Firefly: Gentlemen, Chicolini here may talk like an idiot, and look like an idiot, but don't let that fool you: he really is an idiot. I implore you, send him back to his father and brothers, who are waiting for him with open arms in the penitentiary. I suggest that we give him ten years in Leavenworth, or eleven years in Twelveworth.
Chicolini: I'll tell you what I'll do: I'll take five and ten in Woolworth.

Yeah, but it sounds better if I say Chicolini.
