I think I have one. Maybe in a ALNM when Desiree says, "Oh, Frederick"?
i love at the end of "A Good Impression" when he says "Sweet Charity". :)

Enjolras: Marius, rest.
p.s. What does make my body tingle is when Marius sings: Cosette, Cosette!
LOL
Christmas Eve: "Or not"
'There is Life Outside Your Apartment' from Avenue Q.
"Guys & Dolls"
When Sky orders: "Dulce de leche"
Oh, come on. "De" doesn't count as a word.
I wouldn't say it gives me chills, but it does make me wish Sarah would hurry up and beat up that Cuban chick, get back to New York and sing "I've Never Been in Love Before" so I can hit the lobby bar at intermission.
in Spring Awakening when Melchior says "the"
I know it's only one word, and part of a larger monologue, but damn! it really gets to me.
When Bernadette stutters in Rose's Turn:
mo...maa...mma mma mmmooooo.

Pippin, you did not read my title. Rose's Turn is invalid because it comes to close to the end of the show.

OK I wasn't going to share, but when Bernadette says "Up Roses" in Every thing's Coming Up Roses-- I always think "Up Rose's what?"
JoeKv99: You stole that from "Sondheim: A Life".... or at least if you haven't read the biography, do so. Because that was one of the first things Sondheim was asked when he presented the song to the show.

Really? what an amazing coincidence!
Ironic, I'd say.
I'd be wrong, but still, I'd say it.

In Spring Awakening when Mortiz-{Johnny Gallagher Jr. says,
"So Dark...So Dark"...You know what is coming next and it gets me all the time...
Broadway Star Joined: 12/31/69
EXCUSE ME but "So Dark...So dark" is FOUR WORDS! Well, two words but he says each twice--
I dunno, does that fit, Phyllis?
Would it have the same impact if there was only one "so dark"?
Your answer to that question should be the same as the answer to your question, Joe.
Judges?

If it takes repeating the two words to mayb make your body tingle but you think they are good then no.
Drew Barrymore's lisped "Just breathe,' in EVER AFTER makes me tear up.
Or when Peter O'Toole finally gushes "Your majesty" in "King Ralph."
Okay, seriously . . .
In "100 Saints You Should Know" when his mother asks him why he left the priesthood,
the priest replies:
"I was lonely."
and
This is too far towards the end, but in "Scarcity" when the brother has left home, leaving the eleven year old girl alone and stuck, until she is old enough to get the hell out. The grown ups are about to embark on yet another knock down drag out beer party, the little girl is standing motionless by the stove, when the mother suddenly notices, and asks what she's doing.
The little girl replies:
"I am waiting."
Both simple statements which became poetry because of their raw honesty.

Both of those are three word lines.
Your chance to steal!
Actually Phyl,
It was:
"I'm lonely"
and
"I'm waiting"
I thought it was a three word limit, I was trying to stretch it.
Silly me.
"... to Allentown."
