What is your favourite B'way musical quote?

Ugh, I can't remember the exact quote, but it's something like this:

"What do you guys do in special ed?"
"We do MUSICALS!" - - - - Hairspray

It completely describes my High School Musical.

Graydon: He was twelve!
Millie: Well, if you got it, you got it!

I dunno if it's my fave and i have a lot more...i promise I'll think of them later but that's just such a funny line and Sutton always delivers it sooo well!

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

AMNERIS. Radames! This is my bedchamber. You can't just... you know you shouldn't... Aida, leave

RADAMES. Is that your bed in there?
AMNERIS.Silk covered and fat with feathers.
RADAMES.Why don't you go in and I'll join you in a moment.
AMNERIS. Radames, are you sure? We're going to be married in a week.
RADAMES. Amneris, we've been engaged nine years.
AMNERIS. Good point.

AMNERIS.Radames! You barge into my bedchamber, waging a full-frontal attack, so to speak... and now you're stalling. Why?
RADAMES. I'm sorry, I didn't realize...
AMNERIS. There's a buck-naked princess lounging in her bed, calling your name. What, exactly didn't you realize? Before our wedding night, pack up some of that dried monkey meat and have the royal cartographer draw you a map of the female body, Captain. Maybe then you'll be more inclined to come explore.(RADAMES looks around and then runs out of the room.)Was it something I said? When we were children we understood each other so well. Now he's a mystery to me.

Aida. What that man sees and understands could be etched on a grain of sand

. i have aida in the player, i love that scene! haha

""the gays love their presents. just wave something shiny in front of their faces, you can get whatever you want. Thats how we got manhattan from the gay indians" -Karen (W&G)"

Millie: I'm broke not poor.
Ms. Dorothy: There's a difference?
Millie: Poor sounds permanent, broke can be fixed ~ the words I live by.


Grace: My love for you is like this scar (points to elbow) ulgy but permanent!

"Call nothing thine own, except thy soul. Love not what thou art, but only what thou may become. Do not persue pleasure, for thou may have the misfortune to overtake it. Look always forward. In last year's nest, there are no birds this year. Be just to all men, be Courteous to all women. Live in the vision of that one for whom all great deeds are done. She that is called Dulcinea"
Cervantes as Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

My favorite will always be:

"I need your shoe to have a child!" - Baker's Wife in Into the Woods

Personally, I think Into the Woods has some of the best one-liners in Broadway history.
"What can you expect from a bunch of seitan worshippers?" - Reginald Tresilian

JULIAN: Who was that?
BILLY (Or ANDY): She wants to be in the line (something like that).
JULIAN: Of who, Notre Dame? -- 42nd Street

Also, when I saw the Hairspray tour in Boston, it was the day after the Red Sox lost the playoff game against the Yankees. During "Timeless to Me" there was a long pause and Bruce Vilanch uttered, "Why don't we sing something from Damn Yankees!" The whole audience went crazy for almost five minutes.

I too must go with ""What do you guys do in special ed?"
"We do MUSICALS!" - - - - Hairspray. It just reminds me of my high school musical. A lot.
"Wherever you go... I'll be right there. When you get your own private kick in the ass, just remember: it's a present from me to you." Rose's dying words to Louise
