What are your favourite lines from bad musicals?

I'll start:

"I don’t need their good opinions
I have plenty of opinions
Everybody has opinions but it doesn’t make them true"

“In a world that defines itself with X’s, Y2K’s and Z’s.”
-Glory Days

The entirety of Frankenstein’s Patter verse in “The Brain”.
-Young Frankenstein

“Regina is the queen and I’m the head of worker bees, as
I am seated at her right hand like a Jewish Princess Jesus”
-Mean Girls

All of "Happy/Sad" from Addams Family.  Not a great show, but a great song.  If I had to pick one line, probably "Life is full of contradictions/Every inch a mile/At the moment we start weeping/That's when we should smile."

Also, while I prefer the Two River recording to the Broadway rewrites of Be More Chill for the most part, I love the new addition in "Upgrade": "I'm tired of being the person that everybody thinks that I am."

"Even just to know you tried'll
Make me feel less suicidal"

-It Shoulda Been You

I'd offer the final line of Triumph of Love.

SPOILER (though a revival seems hardly likely):  Betty Buckley turned to F. Murray Abraham and said "Well... maybe we'll meet somebody at the wedding." 

But unlike many, I consider Triumph to be a very fine musical.

“Yesterday a tip collector but today just turn on that projector and Ms. BLT down is the toast of the town and shes something to see look what happened to Mabel”
