This one actually is a line from one of his movies, Monsieur Verdoux. He's about to be led away to be hanged.

And Lenny Bruce overdosed alone. God only knows what his last words were.

"Betty, can you help me, I just shit myself."

Ouch,you've likely been through the process of watching someone split....I worked with a pallative nurse who said a deep sigh is alot more common than grandious or gallant sentiments.....

He replaced the bit that Orson Welles actually wrote (the movie is based on a story Welles had that he wanted to direct Chaplin in; Chaplin decided he couldn't be directed by anyone else but asked Welles to sell him the story).

The original bit had him as a teetotaler who, asked if he had a last request, asked for gin or something. Tasted it carefully and lit up, happy, saying, "I've been missing this all my life!?"

Or something like that. But since Chaplin was an atheist, he wanted to put that little plug in there.
