Favorite Company Quotes

Posted: 9/25/09 at 12:45pm

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?

GOD I love Company so much.

The Radio City line makes me giggle.

OH and Raul's delivery of "You are like this park...very lovely...very."

"You've got so many reasons for not being with someone but you haven't got any reasons for being alone.

But I LOVE this lyric

Marry me a little,
Body, heart, and soul.
Passionate as hell,
But always in control.

I think if I HAD to pick a favorite, that first one would probably be it, sweetestsiren. For many reasons.

"You have a good... third husband, Joanne."

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.

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.

"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?"

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.
