I was just sitting here watching Stephen Sondheim's Company and I realized that I have so many favorite quotes from this show. What about the rest of you out there? Any quotes that strike true to life?
I am a bagel on a plateful of onion rolls. If you know what I'm talking about, good. If you don't, you're on your own!
"He's from New York, so nothing really interests him."
"If you try to shag my husband while I am still alive, I will shove the art of motorcycle maintenance up your rancid little Cu**. That's a good dear"
Tom Stoppard's Rock N Roll
Can someone tell me that one line he says at the beginning of the show....like his answering machine? "Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts, prayers, lives, etc" what was it?????

"Thank you for including me in your thoughts, your lives, your families. Yes, thank you for remembering. Thank you."
Marta's "Look at that! You can see the East River!" in the second act.
"I was just thinking that this is probably a more interesting wedding breakfast than most. The bride is in a high-energy mode and the groom is abnormally quiet. And yet, a festive atmosphere pervades the room."
"What's the big deal about me being Jewish? Three-quarters of your friends are Jewish." "Did I ever say I like my friends? I do not."
Basically anything from the wedding breakfast scene.
"You mean what was the best picture of the year or what did they pick as the best picture of the year?" - California Suite
Forgive me for forgetting this (it's been a while since I've watched my Company DVD), but what was Amy's line about Paul being her own personal little jew? That line was hilarious.
I also LOVE Marta's line about being able to tell New Yorker's by their ass. That is classic.
"There's nothing good on. The media hates Christmas. The media loves vampires, though. Maybe they will show a Twilight Christmas." -Danmeg's 10 year old son.
"It's on the dresser... right next to my suicide note!"
"you don't thank a person for hot orange juice, you punch them"
"Hi, Bobby, I wanted to tell you that if I'm late for the surprise party, tell Paul I'm--wait, you weren't supposed to know. Judy? It appears I've dialed the wrong number, please ignore this call. Oh, god."
"...and not because you're smart, not just because you're smart."
"how many times do you get to be 35? 11?"
"you impersonate a person better than a zombie should"
"it's using things like force together, yelling till you're hoarse together, getting a divorce together, that make mairrage a joy"
Amy's line: "Oh, I've got my very own Jew!" Joanne's line: "She's tall enough to be your mother/Golith"
Amy's line: Something to the effect of, "Did I say I like my friends? I do not. I much prefer my dosile enemies, at least they leave you alone."
Marta's line: "I'm uptown!"
Marta's line: "I went to sit at the end of a bar...and drink, and cry" I cut that one down for space.
BTW, I laugh a little every time I watch the '06 revival and she talks about wearing all black, because she's already wearing all black. I even chuckle as I type this.
