Graham Greene's Travels With My Aunt was hilarious too. Maggie Smith was great as Aunt Augusta in the movie, even though she was somewhat sanitized for the movie-going audiences and the ending was a cop-out.

Aunt Augusta:Steward! More champagne.
Steward:But we're just about to land.
Aunt Augusta:Then you'll have to hurry, won't you?

Edit: Actually, that quote is from the movie. I don't remember if it's in the book or not.
