I love so many from Urinetown that i can't think of one. One of my faves from Wicked: Fieryo: I've been thinking... Elphaba: I heard! (raises her fist as if she's cheering for him).
"Before our wedding night why don't you pack up some of that dried monkey meat and have the royal cartographer draw you a map of the female body! Maybe then you'll be more inclined to come explore."
--from Aida
"A little humility wouldn't hurt."
--Ellie, Constantine-Hellblazer, "Dangerous Habits"
Ave Q: After "I'm not Wearing Underwear Today" when Christmas Eve yells 'Get a job!' and Brian answers 'Thank you... honey' I don't know why that gets me everytime, but it does.
Otherwise, I'd say the entire CD of Avenue Q.
"Let the green girl go" "She's phosphorescent" "The artichoke is steamed" "Pink goes good with green" ... basically all of the lines that comment on Elphie's color.
Trekkie Monster "Okie Dokie!" and "Me sorry Kate Monster!"
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
Conan O'Brien
Never saw Assassins, but have read the script and I agree that the scenes between Sara Jane Moore and Squeaky Fromme are the best...they are funny just reading them.
doesn't anyone have a watch? No wonder the republicans are in office! and Hello...Hell? its me......what do you mean WHO who else gets to leave?- Damn Yankees
who knows, i don't speak yiddish- the producers
and my all time favorite to deliver: Well not to toot my own horn but if jesus christ had lived in chicago today and had five thousand dollars things would have turned out differently.
"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel

plus amneris' speech in the bedchamber scene from aida - A - "you come into my room waging a full frontal attack, so to speak, and now you're stalling - why?"
R - "it didn't realize - "
A - "there's a butt naked princess lounging in her bedchamber screaming your name! what exactly didn't you realize? before our wedding night pack up some of that monkey meat and have the royal cartographers draw you a map of the female body, then captain maybe you'll be more inclined to come explore!! [he exits] was it something i said?"
okay so it's more than a line but i couldn't resist i love it!!
"Nothing is an accident, We are free to have it all, We are what we want to be, It's in ourselves to rise or fall!!" - "Fortune Favors the Brave" from Aida - the love that never died
"At Least Charlie is the son of God!" ~Assassins...referring to Charlie Manson, of course.

OH YEAH. I got DRAGGED to see a friend perform in an opera a few years back. Oy! It was an opera, performed in English, called DIALOGUE OF THE CARMELITES. An older opera, based on a true story of an abby of nuns who were beheaded during the French Revolution....my hand to GOD. (I still don't understand WHY the revolutionaries beheaded these nuns?!) NOT making this up. Well, one of the nuns sang, in this schmaltzy, over the top mezzo stlye:"Put down that ridiculous IRON." It sounded more like:"Putdownthatridiculous iiiiiiiiiURN."
In the final scene, the the nuns went offstage to get beheaded, one by one. They had one of those big office-paper-slicers in the wing for the sound of the guillotine. (Who DIRECTED this thing???) As each nun went off u heard this big "ca-CHUNG!" and then she stopped singing. It was like 10 Little Indians, till the last 1 one was silenced. Well, I tell you - I just wet my drawers.
"Put down that ridiculous iiiiiiiiiURN."
"I am not 'a' Eunice Burns. I am THE Eunice Burns!!!"
Urinetown: "Someday I'll meet someone who's heart joins with mine, aortas and arteries all intertwined." "A pickle in the brine. What did I say? That isn't what I meant."
Every time I listen to the first act finale of Urinetown I laugh remembering all the stuff happening on stage. One of the best first act finales in Broadway history.
"What can you expect from a bunch of seitan worshippers?" - Reginald Tresilian
Rosencrantz: "Be happy - if you're not even HAPPY what's so good about surviving? We'll be all right. I suppose we just go on."
