I think the part when she gets drunk and asks Cary Grant how her blood tasted was hysterical. Especially when she's asks him if its too salty. That part was classic.
shareMy daughter used that scene as an audition to a school of the arts, it was brilliant.
sharewhen my mom makes dinner she usually asks us how it tastes. if anyone ever says "salty" she immediatly says "too salty?!". cracks us up everytime. we also use "oh why am i so cold?!"on a regular basis.

When he tells the little girl if she tells on him she will get warts, and she says, ce qui sont warts
When Trevor Howard finds out they want to get married he says, Goody two-shoes and the filthy beast
"Sir, they're requesting a chaplin!"
"What? Oh good heavens he's killed her."
"No sir, they want to get married!"
"What? Goody-to-shoes and the filthy beast?"
I LOVE that line. My mum and I throw it back and forth all the time. That and, "Frank? Kiss my foot Frank!"
My favorite line though, is when Walter is going off to set the house on fire while Catherine and the kids are going for the dingy.
"Walter! I look awful in black."
So sweet, but to the point.

I love all of the scenes mentioned, and also after the "too salty?" line when he's reassuring her Grant says "great blood!" Kills me every time.
Also:
Goody-two shoes: "They were watching us"
Filthy beast: "Watching us what?"
Shoes: "Watching us watch each other!"
Beast: "So we watched each other!"
Also:
"So when did I dance around the room naked?"
''My coconut is empty''
''Oh, it's getting hot in here!''
''What did my leg taste like?'
lol!
''I tell you I'm thirsty and you offer me a sandwich. Thank you and *beep* you"
She's alive! The snake's dead!
"You brought her here, you give her the shot. The day I bring an OD'ing bitch to your house, I'll give her the shot."
observations: (1) ... so this location is so dangerous, they cant place a military dude there, but not quite dangerous enough to come save the lady & the kids?? (2) CG sucks the blood out of her wound, and all she can ask is was it too salty?? i know... she was getting tipsy...

Most of my favorite parts have already been listed, but I would add 1) when Frank and Stebbings are escorting Walter to the island, Stebbings takes down his binoculars in shock and says, "He...He made a gesture, sir!" and 2) I think this is the only film where Cary Grant belches.
shareExcuse me?
For the most part, civilians were used as island spotters. That's a known historical fact used to make for a good comedic movie.
Surely the point was that the place was dangerous but getting out of it would be more so?
And yeah, when people are drunk, they ask asinine questions. As you should clearly understand from personal experience if your post is anything to go by...
I liked the part where the girl took her glasses off, then walked into a tree.
shareI love the part where the teenage girl tells him that he can kiss her and then he takes her in his arms pretending to be all romantic and scares the crap out of her. It was so mean of him to tease her like that, but also...so darn funny!
shareNo doubt about it, that was a funny scene. I don't think that he was being mean at all...just his way of demonstrating the old proverb about being careful what you wish for. It definitely put an end to her romantic advances towards him, which was what he was trying to do.
shareThe funniest bit is when Walter tries to teach Catherine how to catch a fish, and with his arms around her, they bend forward and the expression on his face and then hers is priceless. You know, biologically, what is happening to him and it is confirmed by him walking into the cold ocean water.
shareBeat it or Buzz off! When Walter is irritated by the girls, perfect crabby, old guy.
shareSome funny bits that i haven't seen mentioned yet in this thread:
º The way the girls group-stare at Walter, especially the last time after he inadvertently gave them a bath.
º Jenny gives Walter a whiskey bottle in front of Catherine. He pretends she'd never done that before, but she didn't play along.
º Speaking of Jenny, she not only bites him a few times but also hits him with a hammer!
Funny lines:
"Is that you Walter?"
"No, it's Gretchen."
"Why?"
"No, not why. Wrong. Wrong is the third word. You lose."
"They're dirty. I'm Filthy."
"I created a monster...a talking person."
"Just wanted to make sure it hadn't gone bad."
"Delicious. Coconut milk...young coconuts must love it." (Incidentally, this might be the only line that is met with laughter from the other characters.)
I really didn't think i could come up with a good signature, but happily i thought of this one.
