You took the words right out of my mouth. That is my favorite line from Amadeus and the only one I remember. Doesn't he kind of remind you of Al Gore?
Yeah, especially the deadpan delivery. I remember it well because I had seen the play with Mark--uh--Luke Skywalker playing the role of Amadeus. In the play the Emperor delivers the line in a sweeping overly-dramatic "THERE it is!" It made it very memorable. The tossed-off way it was used in the movie made it less memorable but more effective in portraying the emperor's banality.
