In the episode where Lamont gets the job in the men's clothing store, Fred comes in pretending to be a customer to make Lamont look good. The owner of the store approaches Fred to assist him and Fred asks for Lamont. To act like he doesn't know him, Fred mispronounces Lamont's name. He calls him Lamont Stanford, Cranford, Almont, and then he says what sounds like to me Helmet 19. I have always wondered what is it he says there. Does anyone know?

Helmut Dantine (1917-1982) was a movie and television actor/producer/director
born in Vienna, Austria. Ironically for an actor who made his name during World War Two playing German soldiers and Nazi villains in Hollywood films, most notably in "Mrs. Minniver" (1942), the young Dantine was an anti-fascist activist in his native country. (Source: www.imdb.com)
