Please don't shun me if this kind of thread has been created, but I DID do a search, and nothing came up. What is your favorite quote in the musical RENT? Not the movie, but the show.

They say that I've got the best ass below 14th street. Is it true?

"You can take the girl out of Hicksville but you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl." Because I have family in Hicksville, OH.

And from the NYTW version..."I'm lonely, bored and horny."

Mimi by way of Angel from the movie: I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever get.

All of What You Own...

"So I own not a notion I escape and ape content. I don't own emotion I rent."

Also: "There's only now, there's only here. Give in to love or live in fear."

"Why are entire years strewn on the cutting room floor of memory when single frames from one magic night forever flicker in close-up on the 3-D IMAX of my mind?"

I think they meant it
when they said you can't buy love
now i know you can rent it

on life...be my life...

"Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door, and Collins choose that phonebooth back where Angel set up his drams, why did Maureen's equipment break down? Why am I the witness, and when I capture it on film does it mean that it's the end and I'm alone?"

I love Halloween.

"Yes you live a lie. Tell you why, you're always preaching not to be numb, when that's how you thrive. You pretend to create and observe when you really detatch from feeling alive." - Roger

"Give in to love, or live in fear."

"Leave your conciense at the tone" - Mark and Roger

Man, I love all of these.

Oh so so many choices. Halloween and the Mark/Roger fight are by far my favorite scenes, but lines would be:

“So let's find a bar/ So dark we forget who we are/ And all the scars from the nevers and maybes die”

"You wanna prove me wrong?/ Come back another day"

"No one's perfect I've got baggage/ --Life's too short, babe, time is flying/ I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine"

"Who are you to tell me what I know, what to do/ -- A friend"

I've got another one:

Roger:She's in love
Benny:She's got a new man?
Mark: Well -- no
Benny:What's his name?
Mark and Roger: Joanne

Maureen: You know Miss Ivy League. I can't take much more of your obsessive, compulsive, control freak paranoia. I didn't pierce my nipples cause it grossed you out. I didn't stay at the Clit Club last night because you wanted to go home!

Joanne: You were flirting with the woman in rubber.

Maureen: There will always be woman in rubber flirting with me. Give me a break!

the best lines by far

"To being an us for once, instead of a them."

"Let he among us without sin be the first to condemn La Vie Boheme."

"Who are you to tell me what I know, what to do?"
"A friend."
"But who, Mark, are you?"
And the rest of the Mark and Roger fight.

"With a thousand sweet kisses, when your heart has expired
Oh, lover, I'll cover you"

There are really WAY too many.

I love the entirety of WYO, LVB, and Halloween.

"To Sodamy it's between God and me, to S and M!"

"Let he among us, without sin be the first to condemn. La Vie Boheme."

"Close on Mark's nosedive: will he get out of here alive?"

"The heart may freeze or it can burn, the pain will ease if I can learn... There is no future, there is no past, I live this moment as my last."

plus all of ICY, Halloween and WYO.
and of course:
"Let he among us without sin be the first to condemn La Vie Boheme!"
