"I can speak, read and write French, Russian, and Arabic."

"Frisbee! LEAVE THE ROOM!"

"Rah, oh rah"

"Out of the laundry rooms and off the pedestals!" (car horn honks)

"YOU HAVE A BRAIN the size of a CARBUNCLE"

"YOU, Sir, are a slave to your Puritanism."

"Release ya feet! Release ya feet!"

"I'm simply Leslie, and I'm at your service."

My fave Prince Hapnik line, God bless Jack: "In the kingdom of Carpania, if one doesn't waltz, one just doesn't dance, and I love to dance. I do just enough to comply with tradition and then it's off to pursue more rewarding activities. Bran DY!" how the hell does one roll one's r's on the word 'brandy'?!

"I demand to see the American Consul!"

"Thankya! Y'all!"

"Excuse me Mistuh Pahdnuh, but whooo is this Texas Jack?"

I believe the Texas Jack quote is "Pardon me Mister Pahdnuh" which makes it even more hilarious!

"I'd like the great Leslie try THAT one." (After crashing through the barn while suspended from the plane.")

"There's another one Leslie can try on for size!" (After crashing into the pool of pig...well you get the idea...in the loco-rocket craft.)

One which has become a part of our family culture, repeated endlessly, is: "Push the button, Max!"

On the other hand, my favorite is, "Maybe she don't mean us."
