The Wedding Singer (it's also one of my favorite bits from the movie):
Glen: You should write a song about this. I got punched in the face for sticking my nose in other people's business.
Robby: Sounds like a country song.
Glen: By the way, you're fired.

Hairspray -
Tracy: Sorry we're late! ...Stupid bus crash.
(It always takes like 5 seconds before people realize what she just said and start laughing.)
----
After someone tells Amber to stop making fun of the special ed kids and act like an adult...
Gym Teacher: Ha-ha, special ed! THINK FAST!
Wedding Singer -
Robbie: *sniffs the air suspiciously* ...LINDA.
------
Bad Haircut dude: You don't like my haircut?
Robbie: The fli- no I don't.
(I just love how he interrupts his rant to trash the guy's haircut again.)
-----
Robbie: Now take off my Van Halen t-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up!
-----
George: We came to cheer you up. Only it looks like what you need is not so much cheering up as AAAANTI-PSYCHOTIC MEDICATION.
------
George: What is that?
Sammy: It's the little plastic bride from on top of the wedding cake.
Robbie: It looks just like Linda... only much, much smaller.
----
When Robbie's in the dumpster...
Robbie: I think I'm laying in creamed corn.
-----
Julia: Robbie, come out of there.
Robbie: No. I live here now.
(He just sounds so much like a petulant 6-year old, it's adorable.)
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels -
Freddie (in that creepy voice): Mother? ...Not Mother? MOTHER!!!!
Altar Boyz - (Off-Bway, but whatever)
In their 'genesis of the altar boyz' skit after Juan tells them he was abandoned as a baby...
Luke: Oh how greatful I am that I have two loving parents!
Mark: Yes, having parents is the best!
Scott: Meanwhile, you are welcome to rest your motherless feet here.

Voice of G.O.D: And you shall annoint your hair with product and gird up thy loins in pleather, lest you skeweth unto an older demographic, which is detestable in mine eyes!

Dreamgirls:
Effie: This dress does nothing for my body.
Deena: Effie, my momma spent three weeks sewing up these dresses. Shoot, they helped us win that contest in Chicago.
Effie: Big deal, so we won three albums we already have.
Effie: I can't wear this wig...and this dress doesn't fit me.
Lorrell: You got the same wig I got?
Effie: Yeah.
Lorrell: You got the same dress I got?
Effie: Yeah.
Lorrell: Then shut up.
Lorrell: Baby, let me give you a kiss for each year...1.2.3.4.5.6.7...seven years of unmarried life!

Ok, folks, I have to do it. This is not a show on Broadway and I have not seen the show but from the Off-Broadway hit, Jewtopia:
The important thing to remember is that as a Jew, you have to pick something on the menu and then alter it BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so true.

The Wedding Singer:
(I have more... I'm just kind of busy right now, sorry!)
George: I made keish!
And when Stephen's trying to immatate Donatella's whiney and she says:
Shane make him stop!!
(The ending of A Note From Linda)
Robbie: Your pal?!
Rose: The roof! The roof! The roof might have snow,but that don't mean there aint a fire burnin' down below!
Holly: The last guy I went out with was Sammy. The only thing he ever got me was an "I'm with stupid" t-shirt. It was then I realized: I was with stupid.
Sammy: Did I hear my name mentioned? We've been broken up for 6 months and you still can't stop talking about old Sammy. How about I buy you a drink?
Holly: They're free, jackass.
know, your lips are saying no, but your eyes... yeah, they're pretty much saying no too.
Bum: You need a prostitute!
Robbie: And some might say "what's love got to do with it?" or that "love is a battle field" but those people are "looking for love in all the wrong places" because "endless love" is "the greatest love of all".
Robbie: STOP NAGGING ME!
George: (Speaks spanish) OR, music you can digest to!
Waiter: Dude... I though you'd never ask!!
Julia: I am NOT registering for black towels!
Robbie: But black towels never get dirty!
Holly: You gotta be kidding me!
Sammy: Oh, come on. We're just two friends dancin'. Remember when we broke up, you said you wanted us to still be friends.
Holly: I only said that so you'd get off the hood of my car!
Sammy: Remember that time when we were dancin' at that club, and my pants fell down?
Holly: Yeah, that was kinda funny.
Sammy: Yeah, we had a few good laughs. Oh Man, were you hot back then!
Holly: (storms offstage)
Sammy: Wha'd I say?
Sammy: "Did that girl from Flashdance quit Flashdancing because she had welding and **** to do?"
Julia: “That wasn’t me, that was my evil twin; Drunky McWasted”

The Wedding Singer:
George: The only famous person we know is that weatherman from Channel 4 who came onto you at that party!
Sammy: I am not calling him. Not again!
Sammy: It's an air freshener. You said your car smelled like beer and mcribs.
Holly: No, Sammy, I said you smelled like beer and mcribs.
Sammy: Yeah, well, the mcribs are only here for a limited time. And you know what, Holly, so am I.
Will Rogers Follies:
Clem Rogers: I'm playin' this part under protest, son. Ziegfeld was too cheap to hire another actor.
Will Rogers: People always ask me, how come your kids never get any older. I tell them, they do but to show that we'd need another set o' kids.
Ziegfeld: In a Ziegfeld show, nothing romantic happens in Oolaga.
Sweeney Todd:
Sweeney: I prefer general.
Lovett: With or without his privates. With is extra.
Judge: When I offered myself to her, she showed a certain reluctance.
The Producers (the movie):

Max: I'm a little busy.
