What are your favorite quotes from this movie?

Here are some of mine:

When they first audition:
"Actors are just *beep* who get paid for it."

Next day at the talent agency:
"That kind of night, huh?"
"Not the kind you're used to. No money changed hands."

In the smoke shop:
"How about a blowjob?"
"where?"
"Right here, right now."

In the whore house:
"No way, I'm not the virgin, he is."
"What you go tell her that for?"

"Was it as good for you?"

End of the movie:
"Nine years of ballet, A$$H0LE!"

"That ain't no way to act in a whorehouse, be a man, BE A MAN!!!"

The fact that it was Shelley Long dressed as a little cowboy who was saying this line is what elevated it to hilarity!

[–] Elmware 18 years ago

Here's a couple more funny lines.

When Shelly Long goes in for the auditoin:
"Have a great mad scene! I just saw it, it was great."

To the detective:
Betty: "Micheal is not the kind of guy the other guys would make fun of in the locker room!"
Shelly: "All right, I think he get the point."
Betty: "I don't think he gets the point yet. Does the phrase needle dick mean anything to you? The bug *beep*

"Give me back my *beep* quarter! Damn!!"-First lines of Bette in the movie, in the background as Shelly walks by.

In the back of the cab, as they are looking out the window:
"Where are we? I havene't seen a white person for miles."
"There's one."
"Where?"
"Oops, they got him."-Love that.

In the airport, flight attendant to the two of them:
"That has got to be the biggest crock I have ever had the pleasure of listenting to. WHere did you need to get to?"-the delivery was one of the best in history

In the desert, George (he is my God) Carlin:
"Get away from me. You knock me out, steal my clothes, leave me in drag."- He grabs his head, both of the girls ask him what is wrong, he says "I think I'm gettin' sober."

This is one of my all time favorite movies ever, I love this.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you-do or do not there is no try.

How about when they reach Frank's store and try to call the FBI to report that they have the toxin?

Shelly Long: We're going to call the FBI, we're going to turn in this toxin and we're gonna save our country ... mm-hmm . . . now, do you have a changing room?

[–] ChristmasStan 13 years ago

Shelly Long : I haven't seen a single white person
Bette: Thre's one
Shelly (looks around)

Sandy: Look, you know and I know that I'm never gonna get another cab to come here to Vietnam cueball, so get real!

[cab drivers looks unconvinced]

All right, I'll give you 300 hundred bucks. 300 bucks just to sit here till we get back'

Cabbie: 300?

[–] MikeGrossman34 17 years ago

[Door to acting studio slams shut]

Sandy: Sorry I'm late. They made me fill out all these dumb-ass financial aid forms. You want 'em?

"Isolated! Isolated! Hey! This girl does not have one night stands. Every guy that I have ever slept with, and we're way into double digits here, has come back for more. Every since one!"

"Bob and weave honey, bob and weave"

"Does your Daddy know you're here?"
"Hell yeah, he told us where to come. Come, get it"

"You're an actress. Bulls*&t him."
"I do not use my talents to tell lies to people."
"Well what do you use it for? Geez, it's so simple."

"Oh get over yourself he's not gonna kill us"
"How do you know?"
"Cause we're gonna get raped and murdered in this building"

"He's probably one of those guys with polyester pants....and hips."

[–] alexkalognomos 16 years ago

That's the one I remember ... it the way Bette says it....
"Cause we're gonna get raped and murdered in THIS building"

It's so definite. Yet they both walk in.

LOVE IT. Classic Masterpiece!!!!

When George Carlin says, "I'm busy bleeding!"

[–] mateollamo 16 years ago

I thought for sure someone would have mentioned this already......

When Shelly Long finally decides to use her talents to help their cause and she kicks in the door. It is during that whole exchange when she says:

"Don't even think about it! DON'T YOU EVEN *beep* THINK ABOUT IT!"
I laugh, am laughing now, just thinking of the way that whole scene played out.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you-do or do not there is no try.

Bette Midler: "You're too weird to hit!"

sorry the cab ride and the classic line "There's one ... Never mind they got him" is the best.

When they arrived at the NM airport and came rolling out of the baggage carousel, a person standing by said "And I thought COACH was bad".
