That's my favorite line too. I use it for the header on Myspace page.
But why not put a spoiler alert in the subject of this thread so as not to ruin it for people who haven't seen the show yet?

Not to be a copycat or anything but... mine too.

I also loved the line about the barricades across the street. Hilarious!

The "this is like children's theater for 40 year old gay men" always gets a huge laugh.

Zeus: "This is the 80s. The muses are in retreat. They'll just take some stinkaroo movie throw it on stage and call it a show!"

Sonny: "That's just WRONG..."

Kira: "Melbourne... Sydney... the OUT-BEEEECK???"

Ok I'm sure I will think of more later... lol

Kerry Butler's delivery of "That kiss... My CHIST! [chest]" just slays me.

Toward the end when Sonny quickly is like "Oh my god I love her so much"

"We're like a Vaudeville act - Malone and Maguire!"
"hahahaha...I dont know what that is"


Oh god this show is amazing.

Oh, the baracade line is great too :) Ugh, I love this show.


And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Hard to choose, but one that kills me.

Anytime Kerry says Sonny's last name in that hilarious Aussie accent.

Maaaaaaaaaaloooooooooooooooone

I don't know if this is considered a line, but when I heard the title song, when Kerry sings the "A million lights are dancing..." part, that made me laugh so hard because she might have been trying to imitate ONJ.

Im not sure if the lines in there still because it was the 2nd preview but in Strange Magic Kerry says something like "All this positive outlook this you won't need me at all" and then Sonny says something ridiculous like

"Woman come on don't pull back that joint"

and maybe it was James C's delivery but it was so funny.

Kira: "Sonny please stop talking. It hurts..."

"I'll make your dreams come truuuaaaaaooooouuuue..."

Sonny: "GRR!! I can really use a FRESCA!!!"

Calliope: "I'm not wearing a bra!!!"
Melpomene: "SCANDALOUS!!!"

"Don't chew the scenery."


Don't know if this is still in the show or not since they seemed to have cut down on the adlibs.

That would make sense...if there were any spoilers.

I also liked the "Bitch..." line.

ok fANADUs help me out here...i am drawing a complete blank. One of my favorite quotes is at the very end when Kira compares herself to Achilles and says something along the lines of "As long as I am wearing these leg warmers..." Can someone finish this??

SPOILER ALERT ! DO NOT READ ! IF YOU DON"T WANT TO KNOW...



re: Fave lines from Xanadu






The scenario : At Mt. Olympus during Kira's Trial.. Thetis was trying to prove that Cupid spell did not penetrated Kira and she proved it by saying that Kira was protected bec. she wore leg warmers , then Kira realized it....

Kira .."No force can penetrate this demi-goddess as long as I wear this legwarmers around my ankles ! "

Thetis : I should have used this leg warmers for my son Achilles and its true that LOVE had triumph, not the spell ! "
