"Murder is a very British thing, isn't it? I mean, it's almost a hobby over there."

My GG quote:

"They can get you in East Hampton for wearing red shoes on a Thursday and all that sort of thing. I don't know whether you know that. I mean, do you know that? They can get you for almost anything. It's a mean, nasty Republican town".

A VERY close runner up is actually a sound, not a quote: Little Edie's laugh in act two in response to Edith's comment "Never had a fight in my life". (priceless! and hard to duplicate-I've tried!)

Oh, well that quote is from the real Edie Beale. We could start an entire thread on Edie-isms. They're BRILLIANT, and I never get tired of them.

All right, for a non-Edie-ism, I like "Your mother and I reared you to be a lady, Edith Bouvier Beale, and what have you become instead? That most pitiable of all creatures. An actress without a stage."

"Go find a husband
Don't waste your life on
Talent you have none of!"

(I dont know if lyrics count)

But one of the best phrases in GREY GARDENS, folks :)

It is pretty good. I think Little Edie's best line in act one is actually: "If I stay, I'll vanish, you'll make me disappear."

edna: you too penny, say hello to mrs pingleton

One that comes to mind, is from Crazy For You, a great show, full of witty and funny dialogue.
Bobby's mother and his fiance Irene are arguing about Bobby going to Nevada
Irene : He will go over my dead body !
Mother : That sounds like a wonderful route !!!
