Actually TOOTSIE might have the most funny lines of any movie out there.

As long as you give us a good story I don't think we'll mind which medium you choose. :)

Ooh, that reminds me of Shelley Long's line:

"Eight years of ballet, arsehole."

I can't remember the name of the movie, but she said it after jumping across a cavern to escape the bad guy. You know, the movie with Bette Midler. Ah, I hate estrogen depletion!

I love "Outrageous Fortune". Another funny line from that movie is:
(In response to Shelly long saying the taxi driver's going to hurt them, and Bette Midler says he won't)
"'Cause we're gonna be raped and murdered in that building."

It's more to do with the delivery of the line, though.
