Ah... and a fine-looking woman she is
I wonder why he said "Ah... and a fine-looking woman she is"
Top answer
He started out saying something that implied that whatever was on the other guy's arm was ugly. Then when he found out it was an image of the man's mother, he realized he had said something that could be taken as an insult to the man's mother. So in order to save face, he reversed his opinion that what he was looking at was ugly and said something nice about that image of the man's mother.
