It's not so much the line as Roger Bart's delivery:

"If it was your intention to shoot an arrow through my heart ... bullseye!"

August: Osage County had a whole slew of them, too many to quote here.

I also love:

"Most people who think they're happy just haven't thought about it enough. Most people who think they're happy are actually just stupid."

Goldman: "And although the newspapers are calling the shooting the crime of the century Goldman knew it was only 1906 and there were 94 years to go."

Valium, you mean?

I didn't love that line too much, probably because I was expecting it after seeing the Tshirt in the lobby before the show. Still trying to think about my favorite line.

From Rent:
BENNY: She's got a new man?
MARK: Well -- no
BENNY: What's his name?
MARK & ROGER: Joanne

From BBAJ:

I'm not that guy.... I'm not that guy... who am I? I'm Andrew *f*cking* Jackson and my life sucks in particular.

"No, Little Sally, dreams are meant to be crushed -- it's nature's way." Officer Lockstock in URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL

Somehow it's depressing and hilarious at the same time.

Just about every one of Joanne's lines in Company, but especially:

"Smoking may be the only thing that separates us from the lower forms"

ROBERT: "Like everyone else"
JOANNE: "Who else?"
ROBERT: "Everybody that ever fell in love and got married"
JOANNE: "I know both couples and they're both divorced"

The line about sex and bacon - and one of my favorites and first I thought of when I saw this thread - is from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Also:
"I was raised to be charming, not sincere." -- Into the Woods

There are more than I can count from 1776:

"The whole earth was created in a week!" "Some day, you must tell me how you did it." "Disgusting."

"New York abstains...courteously." "Mr. Morris, what the hell goes on in New York!?"

"Awww, that was a new one."

"Whoring and drinking."

"Madman!" "LAWYER!"

"Rhode Island passes."

"Not everyone's from Philadelphia."

There are so many....

Not from a Broadway show yet, but is slated to open this season:
"If you don't live you can't change anything."

Some of my favorites were already listed, so I'll add from Proof....

Answering a request to TELL them what the notebook-sized proof is to prove she wrote it, the character says, "It's not a MUFFIN RECIPE!"

"And that is my dream,
to know how it feels,
to be someones dream,
and kick up your heels.
