Roman Holiday

I watched Roman Holiday for the first time yesterday, and it was an okay movie. Not spectacular, but there was a rather hilarious scene. Picture it: Gregory Peck plays a journalist who pretends to not know he's with the missing princess, played by Audrey Hepburn. She asks him what he does and since he doesn't want her to know he's a journalist, he says he's "in the selling game."

Princess: "What do you sell?"
(in the background a horse whinneys)
Journalist: "Uh, [noticing the horse in the background], fertilizer."

This made me laugh for several minutes, because I would like to think that the various layers of humor were intended here.
