Does Price drop the 'F' bomb?

There's a scene in this film in which Price appears to mutter "****ing mess you've made again!" as Lorre walks off. Did I mishear this? Very unusual to hear this in a film from '63, especially in the horror genre.

I also distinctly heard him say *beep* at one point, but I don't remember the scene.
Not sure what they were trying to do with the *beep* profanity and how it was *beep* snuck in.

I didn't hear any "F" bomb, but at one point - the funniest moment in the film IMHO - Price and Lorre are trying to keep a struggling, still living Rathbone in a coffin and Price withdraws his hand quickly exclaiming "The sonofa - bit me!"

He says "a fine mess...".

I'm fairly sure that Price says "another fine mess." It reminded me of Oliver Hardy's similar quote in his films with Stan Laurel. In fact I do wonder if it was supposed to be a little homage to Laurel and Hardy, especially when you consider the slapstick elements between Price and Lorre in this film.
