What's your favorite line?


" I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop."

reply

"We wouldn't be caught dead with men"

reply

Any line that came out of Osgood's mouth. XD "I like a girl with a shapely ankle" OMG hysterical!

reply

Sugar: "They [the diamonds] must be worth their weight in gold!".

"What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."

reply

"Most of the time I ssssssslap it!"



"Well, make something up!"/RG

reply

The encounter between "Josephine" & the Bellboy when He is flirting with Her.

Josephine: Don't you think you are a little young for that Sonny?"

Bellboy: "Oh, you want to see my driver's license?"

the way Josephine reacts to his advances, and he so freely admits what he wants is priceless, love the way he delivers his lines.





"it's a Kafka high, you feel like a bug"

reply

That's a great line.
My favorite is the last line. Brown's reply when Jack Lemmon says "But I'm a man." Brown's reply: "Well, nobody's perfect."

reply

That is sublime - I'm laughing just thinking about that scene. My favorite is in the train sleeper when Jack says "This may turn out to be a surprise party". Zowie!

reply

"And where did you get that accent? NoboDy TalKs LiKe THaT!!"

Too many to count, but here are some contenders:

1. Jerry to "Junior": Bring your YACHT!!"

2. Jerry and Joe meet Sweet Sue:
Joe: Hi, we're the new girls!
Jerry: Brand new!

3. After he covers for her with Sweet Sue, Sugar asks Jerry if there's anything she can do for him to return the favor:
Jerry: I can think of a million things....
Sugar, hearing someone coming, jumps into his bunk with him.
Jerry: That's one of them!

4. Jerry tells Osgood he can't fit into Osgood's mother's wedding dress, because he's not "built the same way."
Osgood: We can have it altered.
Jerry: Oh, no you don't!


I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

Hewwo.

So many wonderful lines:

The classic Osgood line 'Nobody's perfect.'

Daphne: I'm engaged, I'm engaged.
Geraldine: Guys don't marry guys. Why would you want to do that?
Daphne: Security!

There was also a line that Daphne said about smoking a cigarette but not inhaling - I recall President Clinton stating that about marijuana years after this movie was made.

Sugar: I always get the fuzzy end of the lollypop.

Osgood and Daphne dancing the tango with a rose in their mouth.

This is the best comedy classic with three wonderful stars and was so ahead of its time. They just don't make them like that anymore.

Best,
Ruben

You just tore the other one.



And the dead shall be raised incorruptible,and we shall be changed.~1 Corinthians 15:52

reply

The first part of this is the best: now you’ve done it! You tore off one of my chests!

reply

"You tore off one of my chest"

I have been bent and broken, but, I hope, into a better shape, Grimm

reply

"nobody's perfect"

reply

"Pull the emergency brake!" Says Joe in response to Jerry asking what he should do if he really has to "go" but he didn't mean "use the toilet". They were on the train just bunking down. I swear, until today, when this film was shown on THIS TV I never really paid attention to that line. It's in reference to pleasuring oneself.
My other favorite lines were mentioned before about the surprise party and how Jerry could think of a million ways Sugar could thank him. :)
