At the park before demonstrating his super strength to Pam, Ralph corrects Bill on his pronunciation of the word "forte" when Bill notes that command decisions are his forte. Bill pronounces it like "fort," and Ralph tells him that it's "for-tay," citing that he also teaches English. Ralph is wrong on two counts. Not only is "forte" a French word, but Maxwell's pronunciation is correct. Ralph's pronunciation only applies to the homographic word used in musical notation. See more »Quotes
