"Makes his molly disappear down a common kitchen funnel! 'Imbottigliata!' ain't it? then he twirls his cape? Seen it down in New Orleans with my own peepers! some awesome turn, you bet!"

My assumption is that an 1800s kitchen funnel isn't much bigger than a modern kitchen funnel. I'm also assuming a kitchen funnel is basically the same thing as a regular funnel except you only use it for edibles. But (and you'll understand my problem with Chick's statement after this revelation) I also assume women were the same size in the 1800s as today (or close enough to it)! Which means I'm super impressed by Zombini the Mysterious's mesmerism. Imagine convincing a woman to stuff herself into a kitchen funnel by mere words alone! What power!
'Imbottigliata!'
Italian for "bottled." Which means you'll have to disregard all that stuff I said earlier about The Great Zamboni being from Brazil. Because they don't generally speak Italian in Brazil. They speak that other language that looks like that other language and kind of sounds like those other languages. You know the one.
As for why Zombombi the Magnificent yells "Botttled!" after convincing a woman to smash herself through a kitchen funnel, I can only guess. I suppose she winds up in a bottle which is the reason Chick thinks the illusion is "some awesome turn." Unless by "some awesome turn," Chick is complimenting the way The Powerful Zombiezie spins in his cape. But that sounds more like something Lindsay Noseworth would be impressed by. I'm surprised Chick even noticed the cape considering Zombini the Mysterious's "molly" probably performs half-naked.
"my own peepers"
Probably Chick's eyes but could also be his chicklets. You can't rule out the possibility seeing as how people call him "Chick." That's the kind of nickname you save for somebody who runs about town with his pockets full of baby chickens, or "peepers."
