I have to confess to a certain amount of concept-envy ;-). I missed  
out on (although at least I was present for) the great shout, during  
an occasion when the 1938 Flynn-de Haviland "Adventures of Robin  
Hood" had been restored to its original Technicolor glory and was  
revived for a short theartrical re-release, of "There's _always_ room  
for Jello!!!" during the feast scene, early in the movie.

Regarding the "Eat steak" incident, I told a friend of mine about it,  
and his comment seems to be a pretty standard reaction: "You watch  
this kid growing up, and you get suckered into thinking he's one of  
those stereotypical shy, bookish Asian kids, and it turns out he's  
really just another sick %$#@& like his father!"
