^^^^^^^^^
Then allow me to enlighten you, my dear ... the statement comes from Francis Ford Coppola's dreadfully depressing movie "Apocalypse Now," released in 1979, which he based on a novella by Joseph Conrad, "Heart of Darkness," with an equally dreadfully depressing storyline. Mr. Brando, who depicted the stereo-typical, war-time maniac (Colonel Kurtz), uttered those priceless words at the end of the flick in response to the horror that he incurred upon the people in the area. Quite frankly, I liked it better when Elmer Fudd said them: "The ha-wha, the ha-wha!"
