re: Favorite quote from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?

My favorite line is during the scene where Freddy and Lawrence first meet on the train. I'm not sure if this is the exact wording...

Freddy: Do you know what it feels like to take a woman for $20?
Lawrence: I believe that's a bit out of my price range.

It's such a hilarious double entendre.

I think Lawrence's responce is:
"Im afraid thats a bit out of my class"

Then Norb tells him not to sell himself short. re: Favorite quote from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?

"Cheer up buckaroo, have some jerky!" (and all that ensues after it)

Wiicked, the conversation before Norbert says he's still in the room isn't...dirty...it's a direct quote from My Fair Lady.

neck pillow! I always 'awww' after that!

<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

Almost any line from Great Big Stuff:

Now I know where I belong-
A life of taste and class
With culture and sophisitication
pouring out my ass

The Islands in the winter
The Hamptons in the summer,
The fashion plate I date'll give me
Hummers in my Hummer.

I just want someone to
Love me...
For my money

and on....

Love when Freddy's first getting on the tran with the book-"That Judas, what a character" (or something like that)

Love the Bible quotes...
There's a lot I am not certain of...

I love the "Well, merde!" after the roulette scene.

Oh it's been so long since I've seen this show... I've missed all of these fantastic lines!

Some more in the honor of procrastination:

"You're a man, she's a woman, you're French." (or vice-versa)
"Only by birth and affectation."

"Owww-yoo--dill-ay-hee-ho"
"That's lovely my boy!"

"Doctor, he's so happy, he's crying!"

"I believe what I have is...dance fever."

"When I woke up I was completely numb...from the waist down."

"I caught her with the Dance USA orchestra."
"The entire orchestra?"
"Nope, just the brass section."

"If music be the food of love, he ate my schmorgas board"

"An entire nation will lick your head."

"You have a lot of energy, don't you?"

"I'm charminger than you."

"Well, it's not like you'll be the only royalty there."
"I won't?"
"Nope. There is a Dairy Queen right down the road!"

"Jolene as your people say...ya!"

Norbert after saying well she seems nice: "O-K-L-A-H-O..."

"It's a little funny."

"Oh, it's like the David!"

"Gorgeous!"
"Well, I work out."

"You love me? Well, yeah, I guess I'm pretty lovable."

"You go that way, k?"

"I think we're good now, thank you."

"I can't stand to see him like this."
"Yah, perhaps you're right."

"Is the balcony moving?"
"No!"

"Buzz, who is the one person in the entire world that you would like to see at this moment?
"Umm, umm, grandma?"

Enough for now.

Keep in mind there have been numerous changes made to the dialogue since John Lithgow left, some better, some worse. The show is just a gem. Why aren't you seeing it there now!

My GOD, it's like the DAVID!

Genes are important, but lighting is everything.

Love is my legs, and you are my love, so you are my legs, my Love.

I loved the whole scene where Joanna was playing tour guide in an art museum. Does anyone happen to have the script to that scene? I especially liked when the statue turned to show it's naked ... re: Favorite quote from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?

As an Art History major, I appreciated that moment.

Lamc...I think it's breeding is important...I'm honestly not positive.

Yeah Liir, I used quotes from both.
