Favorite lines from S.O.B....


OK, since I'm beginning this, I'm gonna quote two:

Dr. Finegarten: And we're out of Vodka.
Culley: Jesus, I just opened a new fifth!
Dr. Finegarten: Well then it's only fair that I open the next one!



(Felix and Ben trying to calm Sally by listing other prestigious actresses who have done nude scenes in films)

Ben: ...and Liv Ullmann!
Felix: Liv Ullman? Really?
Ben: I think so!
Felix (to Sally, with solemn importance): ...LIV ULLMANN!

reply

Robert Preston seemed to have some of the best lines.

Felix: Can she work?
Dr. Finegarten: Is Batman a transvestite? Who knows?

OR

Polly: You're going to let that schister in?
Dr. Finegarten: I could sue you for calling me that Polly. A schister is a crooked lawyer. I'm a quack.

reply

Dr. Finegarten is about to give an injection.
Hitchhiker: 'You want me to do that?'
Finegarten: 'Are you by any chance a nurse?'
Hitchhiker: 'I used to be a junkie...'
Finegarten: 'Would it endanger your amateur status if I asked you to use a sterilized needle?'

Julie Andrews at her husband's packed funeral: I don't think I will be able to sing.

Stuart Margolin: You have to... that's why everybody came.


"If it is not in the frame, it does not exist!"

reply

I forget the exact line but it's when Julie Andrews asks Robert Preston if she should show her breats on film. He points out he's her doctor and, in a totally clinical way, says "you have a good pair of knockers":)

reply

Robert Preston: "This is just like the scene in THE THING, when the terrible monster is just on the other side of the door..."

"Only a fool would say that." --STEELY DAN

reply

He actually says, In my humble opinion, you've got a terriffic pair of knockers!

reply

LOL I stand corrected:)

There are so many funny lines in this movie.

The one that makes me laugh the most was when Robert Preston tells Robert Webber to ask Richard Mulligans propped up corpse a question so it wont look suspicious to passing cops.

And Webber asks "Read any good books lately ?"

Still makes me roar every time I watch the clip.

Later in the scene when the foursome are on the "Tinkerbelle" Yacht & the deceased Felix is positioned in the fishing chair with a rod & reel, Webber ask "What if he catches a fish?"😍

reply

Thank you! LOL. Forgot that fish line.

I slept with you and you're in love with my husband. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?

reply

Although it's been forever since I saw the movie, one of my favorite lines is when the doctor is preparing a needle. they ask him what is in it, and he starts naming a bunch of serious narcotics. The other two look shocked, and one asks, "Do you think it's okay for Felix to have all that?" The doctor replies, "Felix? This is for ME."

reply

Hey k m simpson, there was no scene like that in this movie. The most the doctor gave himself was a vitamin shot.




"It's like I'm talking to my Aunt Sylvia here!"

reply

Yes there is a scene like that. You must not be too familiar with S.O.B.

*Sally still under the effects of drugs*

Sally: Mickey!!! Hi, Mickey.
Mickey: Hi.
Sally: I certainly am!

(Re: "I certainly am!"
I'd like to believe that Andrews was channeling film comedian Stan Laurel's famous line.)

"What do you do for a living?" "Oh, I breed armadillos."

"Wherever You Go, There You Are." - Buckaroo Banzai

reply

Funny lines.

reply

Hey, don't forget the rest of that quote, it's even funnier! Don't remember it word-for-word, but it's something like...

"Do you find that a fulfilling occupation?"
"Not really. But the armadillos seem to enjoy it."






"You may think that...I couldn't possibly comment."

reply

Man: Where is Polly?
Preston: Outside.
Man: What is she doing?
Preston: Trying to get inside.

reply

Preston: Ben, do you realize in a matter of a few hours you have demonstrated most of your excremental bodily functions?
