"If you took the “W” from who, the “H” from ghost, the extra “A” from aardvark, and the “T” from tsunami, you could say “WHAT?” forever and nobody could ever hear you because it’s all silent."

That's one of my favorites too! She used different words when I saw it though. It was the W in answer and the T in listen.

And even though it closed...

ditto "six excruciating continents..." from Drowsy Chaperone. Brilliant! And then to have Bob Martin repeat it, just in case we didn't agree with how brilliant it was, even more brilliant!

I'd go for the Spelling Bee 'What' line, although I chuckle guiltily when I hear "I had to pound them with a rock" in 'Hairspray'.

Foster, I second the "cherry" quote. Best line in ages, especially as delivered by diva Julie White.

There are probably 15 lines - if not more - in LITTLE DOG LAUGHED, all uttered by White, that could count as my favorite of any current show.

There was a line towards the end of Act One in the current Company revival (it's probably in the original too) that I can not for the life of me remember. All I know is that either David or Paul says it, and it's a great line. So if anyone knows it... that's my answer!

"Mother will sing 8, not 9"

I was underwhelmed with the cast recording of Grey Gardens, but after a little road trip I took this weekend, and some of the songs came on--I've fallen in love with a few of the songs . There are more lines in the show that made me laugh, but I can't think of them at the moment.
