Fletch to the attorney: "Keep the extra ten bucks. Get yourself a nice piece of ass."

To the kid that stole the car: "Did you steal this car?" Kid:"I sure did." Fletch: "I'm not sure that's even against the law anymore."

This movie had a lot of great lines. To bad the sequel sucked so bad, but even it had a couple of laughs.

reply

Gail (Just got of the shower): I should change
Fletch: Dont change, stay the same lovely person you have always been

reply

With this and most of the other lines here it is more the way Chevy delivered them than anything, with his calm quickfire "did he really just say that" nonchalance.

reply

These doors will be open
Wouldn't they normally be locked?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The staff usually forgets.
Oh yeah, I have the same problem with my help.

Did you see the ad we ran?
I dont' read the paper. What's the spread in the game tonight? That's funny because he works for a newspaper!

reply

Those were the days when you could just find out anything without providing 800 pieces of identification to prove who you are!

"Who is it, Mr. Singlingling?"

"Cavanaugh."

"Oh. Morris or Pierre?"

"Sally Ann Cavanaugh."

reply

or when he's talkin' to that co-worker (blonde chick) at work?

"Hey (so-and-so), how about lunch at the In-and-out Burger?"

"no thanks"

"Okay, how 'bout just the in-and-out?"

"Ughh"

"Very well, how 'bout just the in?"

"ughhhh"

hahahah

reply

Or during the car chase, when he avoids one of the cop cars by ducking under the shadow of a tractor trailer...he turns to the kid in the passenger seat...


"must be a stage 5 right about here"

"a little slip-streaming, and..."
"oh, there's Fred, won't he be surprised"

reply

or at the country club...

"uh sir, you a member of the club?"

"Uh yes, i'm with the Underhills"

"oh, they left sir"

"Yah, he'll be back, he just went out for his uralanalysis"

hahaha

"Can I get you something from the menu, I can put it on the Underhill's bill"

Chevy gives him a strange look...

"Yes, very well, I'll have a bloody marry, a steak sandwich, and a steak sandwich"....

hahaha

reply

Cavanaugh ... Is that Morris or Pierre?

Does anyone think that Ace Ventura is a rip off of Fletch?

reply

(Fletch wakes up on a couch after blacking out in the hospital. He is in dressed up as a doctor)

reply

"Have you ever seen a spleen that large?"
"No, not since...breakfast."

"Are you a cop?!"
"Far as you know!"
"Are you gonna take me to jail for car theft?!"
"Why, did you steal the car?!"
"I sure did!"
"Well, I'm not even sure that's a crime anymore! There've been a lot of changes in the law!"

"I empathize with your plight, Fletch. However, you threw her out."
"She was sleeping with everybody."
"You should've proved that in a court of law."
"My lawyer was a bum."
[Chuckles] "I agree."
"I think she slept with him, too."
"You may be right."

And, I can't believe no one mentioned:

"Have fun. Don't bend over for the soap."

The Falcon flies

reply

If you're going to quote a film, at least get it right:

"They IS left..." The "is" works great since it's Spanglish.

"...urinalysis"

reply

Oh, can I borrow your towel? My car just hit a water buffalo.

reply

Fletch: "I saved his life in the war."
Gail: "You were in the war?"
Fletch: "No, he was... I got him out."
