"Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a ****in' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. Tits. Hoo-hah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: Pussy."
Al Pacino, Scent of a Woman

We're having great dramas out there! This is a matinee, honey! There's old age pensioners out there! 'The curtain will rise in three minutes'- we all start for the Gents. 'The curtain will rise in one minute'- we all come running out again. We don't know which way we're going! (from Noises Off! both the movie and the play)
There's quite a crowd at the front, of the back, of the orchestra. (from Noises Off! both the movie and the play)
Sweet? Where do you get off? Where do you get sweet? I am dark and mysterious, and I am PISSED OFF! I could be very dangerous to all of you! And you should know that about me... I am THE ENEMY! (from Almost Famous)
The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone when you're uncool (from Almost Famous)
That's two sound theories in one day, neither of which deal with abnormally sized men. Kind of makes me feel like Riverdancing... (From the Boondock Saints)

My favorite lines are from the Lion in Winter - great play, great movie, so many great lines:
Eleanor: I made Louis take me on Crusade. I dressed my maids as Amazons and rode bare-breasted halfway to Damascus. Louis had a seizure and I damn near died of windburn... but the troops were dazzled.
_________
Geoffrey: If you're a prince, there's hope for every ape in Africa.
_________
Henry: I'm villifying you for God's sake - pay attention!
________________
Henry: The day those stout hearts band together is the day that pigs get wings.
Eleanor: There'll be pork in the treetops come morning.
_________________
Eleanor: I'd hang you from the nipples, but you'd shock the children.
_________________
Geoffrey : I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it.
We're a knowledgeable family.
_______________________
Henry: HA! What shall we hang... the holly, or each other?
________________________
Eleanor: What would you have me do? Give out? Give up? Give in?
Henry: Give me a little peace.
Eleanor : A little? Why so modest? How about eternal peace? Now there's a thought.

Regarding food service at the funeral of her recently deceased mother in law on Gilmore Girls:
Emily: "Why not just dump some cubed cheese in the coffin with her, stuff some toothpicks in her mouth and let the guests go to town!"
or Steel Magnolias: "They're my family and I luv 'em, but dont they all just look like they're carved outta cream cheese?"
or "oh he's a gentleman all-right. I bet he even takes the dishes outta the sink before he pees in it"
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
