Jim Carrey with a penguin

This scene from Mr. Popper’s Penguins was filmed at the famous Guggenhiem Museum in New York. Mr Popper (played by Jim Carrey) has a difficult encounter with Mrs. Van Gundy, an important arts patron (who is played by the great Angela Lansbury).

Mrs. Van Gundy (Standard American accent)

Mr. Popper, this is the premiere cultural event of the season. I’ve organised this evening very precisely.

Mr. Popper (Standard American accent)

Ow! Ow! What a beautiful piece of music they’re playing down there. May I have this dance, down there?

Mrs. Van Gundy

You’re tenacious, Popper, I’ll give you that.

Mr. Popper

Mrs. Van Gundy

Thank you.

Mrs. Van Gundy

Mr. Popper

My money’s on her.

Mrs. Van Gundy
