Favorite line in a movie!!!


I LOVE THIS MOVIE. It has my favorite movie line of all time... "Fasten your seat belt, it's gonna be a bumpy night!"

"What I go after, I want to go after, I don't want it to come after me" Bill says to Eve "Don't cry, just score it as an incomplete forward pass"

I too love this movie - the writing is superb.

Best.Screenplay.Ever. One of my favorite lines are:

Bill: Zanuck is impatient. He wants me, he needs me...
Margo: Zanuck, Zanuck, Zanuck! What are you two, lovers?
Bill: Only in some ways. You're prettier.

I like how when Margo assures Max, at the party, that:

Of course I've got bicarb. There's a box in the pantry. We'll put your name on it. Max Fabian. It'll say there. Always. Just for you.


It's timed with the strains of "Liebestraum".

I like the part when Max tells Bill that Margo "loves me like a father. Plus, she's loaded".

reply

And when she comments on his fast action with the bi-carb.

I also like this exchange, at the Cub Room:

Margo: Encore de champagne.
Waiter: More champagne, madame?
Margo: That's what I said, bub.

And Bill's rant about what's theater - we found that in an newspaper clipping many years ago, and taped it to our refrigerator.

reply

Sort of a line...I love them in the restaurant where Margo keeps calling Bill "Groom"...Bette & Gary were newlyweds in real life

reply

Actually they fell in love while filming, and only married after it was finished being shot.

I'm an artist! I have zest and appetite and I like food!

reply

Karen to Lloyd, while discussing Eve's manipulations:

"Eve would ask Abbott to give her Costello."

And my personal favorite romantic line: Bill to Margo, after the missed performance:

"Bill's here, baby, everything's all right now." (Sigh!)
