From Thoroughly Modern Millie, there are so many, but if I have to pick just one:
Millie: "I'm on my way up".
Dorothy: "I'm on my way down".
Millie: "It's a good thing we met in the middle"!

Ooooh Meeee! That would be Ben Franklin! I was obessed with 1776 as a kid...could probably do the whole show in my sleep! You'd be amazed how far you can get in American History class just from watching that show!

Pennsylvania."

My all-time favorite line is from The Producers:

Leo: How much money do we put in?
Max: Bloom, the two cardinal rules of being a Broadway producer are:
1. Never put your own money in the show.
(pause)
Leo: And two...
Max: NEVER PUT YOUR OWN MONEY IN THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Only Beth, sitting contented said, in a voice so sweet even angels would have listened, 'But we have each other.'" Little Women

I cry EVERY TIME.

And before that, in the same song, "Everthing I wanted was for them. I was theirs no matter where or when. How can that be lost forever?! How, when I gave everything with all my heart?!"

Chills, like, uber chills.

There are a ton from many different shows but I loved just about every piece of dialog from Spamalot so here's the ultimates.

Dennis: Ahh!Oh no! Grab the mudd! Grab the mudd!!

Patsy: The truth is, I'm jewish sir.
Arthur: Why didn't you tell me?
Patsy: It's not the sort of thing you normally say to a heavily armed christian.

Arthur: But I thought you were a fairy.
Lady: No, that's Lancelot. Oh... you missed that scene.

"You played Rosie? Hehe..I played Albert."

Yep! Two months ago. You and I must be destined to be together lol

"Where did you find it?"
"aah..pulled it from a maiden in a tower." the way joanna gleason says this line..i just crack up every time lol

"You're stupid, self-centered and moody."
"I'm moody."
"you're terribly dull to be with."
"yes i am. And nobody likes me not Frieda or Shermy or Linus or Schroeder..."
"Or Lucy.."
"Or Lucy."
"Or Snoopy"
"Or..hey Snoopy likes me!"
"He only pretends to like you because you feed him. That doesn't count."
"Or Snoopy..."

"In examining a book such as Peter Rabbit, it is important that
the superficial chracteristics of its deceptively simple plot
should not be allowed to blind the reader to the more substancial
fabric of its deeper motivations. In this report I plan to discuss the
sociological implications of family pressures so
great as to drive an otherwise moral rabbit to
perform acts of thievery which he consciously knew were
against the law. I also hope to explore the personlaity of Mr.
Macgregor in his comflicting roles as farmer and humanitarian."

Im partial to the following line in HAIRSPRAY:
"If we get anymore white people in here, it'll be a suburb"

Or something along those lines.
