Please check your question before you submit it, unless you actually think that "quite" is spelt that way.

Yep, it's from the film "Under the Rainbow".

Bert, I think your comment is rather unkind. Perfect grammar and spelling are not prerequesites for contributing to the answerbank. Thank goodness, because I make enough of them myself - and I certainly don't check all my submissions before I post them.

This is a quote from the movie, Under the Rainbow.  Not sure to the context of the quote as I have yet to see it, to the dismay of my husband.  He loves this movie.

Bert, do you really have a metathesis up your nose? I could lend you a hanky.
