My favortie is from 'Myra Breckinridge'. the movie should be seen solely for her preformance.
Mae West: How tall are you, cowboy, without your horse?
Cowboy: Why, ma'am, I'm 6 feet 7 inches.
Mae West: Well, let's forget about the 6 feet, and talk about the 7 inches.
"When given the choice between two evils I always like to pick the one I haven't tried before."
"It's not the men in my life, but the life in my men."
I remember one of the other quotes as "Beulah, peel me a grape." anyone know this one for sure?
Yes, Its 'Beulah, peel me a grape' She says it in 'I'm no Angel' after having a few words with an admirer's fiancee. I love how she says 'I'll trouble you to scram!' B4 throwing her out of the door lol.
shareIn response to a coat check girl's exclamation, "Goodness, such diamonds."
"Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie."
Woman on street: Lou, you sure are a fine lady.
Lou: Yeah, the finest lady to ever walk the streets.
"I wish he'd forget me but the guy's a memory expert"
She Done Him Wrong, 1933
In 1932's Night After Night, Mae's upstairs with Alison Skipworth.
Skipworth: "Maudie, what do you think I should do with my inhibitions?"
Mae: "Well, honey - I've got an old trunk over here"
Even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream
When she tells Cary Grant's character.....
"YOU CAN BE HAD."
"OOO...I'M GON' TELL MAMA!"
When she tells Cary Grant's character.....
"YOU CAN BE HAD."
Oh yes, mine too! I just finished watching this movie for the first time and now all I keep saying every time I see a Cary Grant photo is "You can be had". Ohh, I am seriously going to run that saying into the literal ground.

Here are some great Mae West quotes, but don't ask me where ALL of them came from:
"A hard man is good to find."
"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork."
"Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
[To the question "Have you ever met a man that could make you happy?"]: "Several times." (From She Done Him Wrong)
"Good girls go to heaven, but bad girls get to go everywhere."
"My left leg is Christmas and my right leg is New Year's. Why don't you visit me between the holidays?"
(And my personal favorite)
"Sex is like bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand."
COME NOT BETWEEN THE DRAGON AND HIS WRATH
In this movie, when Lou goes to visit Chick in jail, she knows everybody in the cells, and when she stopped by one cell with two guys in it, they say "Hello Lou" in unison and to her companion she replies "the Cherry sisters!" A rare gay remark (though not unusual for Mae who loved gay men)!
I liked that same scene when the one inmate is begging West that she has to see him when he gets out, and she asks him when he's getting out:
Inmate: "15 years."
West: "It's a date!"
"When women go wrong, men go right after them."
yes!
