"The children are having sex... and beth is pregnant."
shareI hearby proclaim... that you will be gang-raped by my soldiers, injected with rabies...
If you dont give me a sex change, ill cut off your peter and sew it on.
Queen Carlotta talking about her own daughter.
"She did? Why, that little M F!"
Cracks me up every time.
"Look at these disgusting trees stealing my oxygen. Oh, I can't stand this scenery another minute! All natural forests should be turned into housing developments. I want cement covering every blade of grass in this nation. Don't we taxpayers have a voice anymore?"
It's funny because it's subversive and also ironic since very few of the characters in Waters' movies of the time have anything resembling normal jobs.
"May the Force be with you."
"I can do anything. Is America."

I am Queen Carlotta!!!
And of course
Go home to your mother! Doesnt SHE ever want you? Tell your mother this isnt some...communist daycare center. Tell your mother I hate her. Tell your mother I..HATE....YOU!!!!!
Exterminate all rational thought. That is the conclusion I have come to
Queen Carlotta to the Lieutenant: You have a foul stench.
Lieutenant: I wash daily your majesty.
Queen Carlotta: Well wash HARDER next time.
"I love the feeling of cold nylon on my BIG BUTT!"
share"I'm surprised she didn't ask me to wear my vagina backwards!"
share"Look at those disgusting trees...stealing my oxygen."

"where are the kids?"
"I DON'T KNOW, I'M TRIPPIN!"

Topped only by "Men are such c u n t s!" Cookie is a god and Flipper rocks!
shareAll Waters' films are a treasure trove (or garbage dump) full of great quotes.
Some that haven't been mentioned:
"No wonder you people are always in the unemployment line."
"Get it, Peggy! Get it! Eat it! Eat it!"
"You sure are two ugly bitches!"
"Please help us. We were raped."
"YOU were raped?"
"I'm going to use that hatchet face of yours as a punching bag."
"You are now the proud owner of RABIES!"
"I'm going to blow your bowels out!"
"Out of my chambers, lesbians."
"Don't get any pecker tracks on my dress."
That's all I can think of right now. Anyone got any more?
We'll see who's the filthiest person alive! We'll just see!
Kiss my operation.
Queen Carlotta (in reference to Princess Cuckoo): SEIZE HER AND *beep* HER!
Peggy Gravel: One bullet will never be able to destroy the beauty of facism!
Queen Carlotta (as she spanks the lieutenant): That's what you get for arousing royalty!
Peggy Gravel's husband (smiling to the psychiatrist): I believe mental health is just around the corner....[cut to a shot of Peggy screaming upstairs at the top of her lungs].
Muffy St. Jacques (to a rabid and foaming Princess Cuckoo): We only ask that you refrain from the silverware.
Peggy Gravel: My husband and I are quite prominent.
Queen Carlotta: Allow our ugly expert to make you over so that you can show us for what you truly are..... TRAH-RASHHH [trash]!
Haha, how did I forget about "You are now the proud owner of RABIES!" : I think that's my favorite.
share"Look at those disgusting trees...stealing my oxygen."
mine too:))
Connie: "Am I in hell? Have I gone straight to hell?"
Sometimes it's not enough merely to teach. One has to punish as well.
"Don't tell ME I don't know what Vietnam is like!!!"
and...
"I'd like to stick my whole head in your mouth and let you suck out my eyeballs! I'll bet you'd like that, wouldn't ya!?!?
"A lottery ticket? I'll take that, and I'll WIN it!" For some reason, that just cracked me up. I also loved when Queen Carlotta sees the bird on her windowsill and says "Want some pizza?" Only Edith Massey could make that line funny.
this one is the best ever:
"You can lick my royal hemorroids you fat pig!"
"Tell your mother I hate her!!!!, Tell your mother I hate YOU" Peggy Gravel RULES!!!!
sharePeggy Gravel (answering the phone): "Hello? What number are you calling? You've DIALED THE WRONG NUMBER! Sorry?? What good is that? How can you ever repay the 30 seconds you have STOLEN from my life?? I HATE YOU, your husband, your children, and your RELATIVES!!" (slams down phone)
I used to have that on my answering machine!
'Well I sleep in the room right next to you, nakedddddd!'
'You touched me! Oh God, my flesh is rotting! The touch of Scum!'
'Mount me if you must, but not a kiss!
'I never though you would rape your own sister'
Every line in the film is a trash classic. Up there with Thundercrack! for demented melodramatic dialogue.
