Favorite silly lines?

First, I LOVE this movie. I love the cheesiness and camp of it all, and I love the series (which my mom wouldn't let me watch as a child because I'd get too scared). But it does have some silly lines, whether because of writing or acting. I thought I'd share a couple and see if anyone else has some:

Todd Blake in the scene with Carolyn & Elizabeth when he's describing where he's been looking for David:

"I even drove down the back ROAD!"

Barnabas at the party when he first sees Maggie:

"Let me get you some punch, Carolyn."

"I can't do anything. Maggie, can I get you a glass of water?" - Willie

Sorry, but none of the lines you guys quoted are "silly." They work within the context of the story perfectly.

Soooooo...you're just criticizing and not offering anything to the conversation.

Maybe it's not the words but the way they're said.

Sooooo...you're saying lines are silly when they're not, and you're accusing me of "just criticizing?" Whoa.

Truth of the matter is, none of the lines are silly. How's that?

You *are* very scary.
