This is something I find myself doing quite a bit. Most recently, I've been shouting "Drive, you puny mothers, drive!" when I'm stuck in traffic - it's from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which I'm currently in, and even though that's not in any way the right context, I find myself doing it constantly and then giggling about it.
Anyone else ever find themself mumbling "Whatever happened to class?" or saying that they've "always depended on the kindness of strangers"? If so, what lines, and how did you use them?

Nurse Flinn and Sandy... it's nice getting to practically cower in fear from Mac for most of the play, then I put on a tight skirt and a wig and all of a sudden I'm making out with him. Hee.

That's awesome. I do things like this all the time. Most particularly, "it's only 'til June." As well as, "I have my DOUBTS."

I find myself doing this all the time. Especially when you're around people who have also done the same show as yourself.
Shakespeare, for me, seems to be the easiest to just randomly start quoting. And because of the rhyme it makes it sound truely ridiculous to others.

Overthemoon, I'm playing Nurse Ratched :)
I constantly quote movies and shows. I can't even think of a specific instance, I do it so often. Usually a Back to the Future one, like every time someone asks me "What did you say?" I say, "A bolt of lightning!"
