Best lines

I love this movie, a lot, I'm watching it right now, and I'm thinking that there's a lot of subtle comedy in this movie that you don't pick up on unless you've seen the movie multiple times.
To that end, what are some of your favourite lines from the movie? Funny or not, what lines did you think were the best?
Two of my favourites are, right at the beginning of the film, during the heart advert,

Doctor: "Remember, we care."
A second of silence
Newcsater: "Police officers have been killed..."

And

Lawyer: "Attempted murder?! It's not like he killed someone!"

"Dick, I'm VERY disappointed." [later] "Dick, you're FIRED!"

"That's it, buster. No more military aid!"

"Dick, you're fired."
Robocop says, "Thank you, sir." Then proceeds to blow the crap out of him til he falls out a window.

Plus he magically grows arms that are longer than his legs as he plummets to the earth. XD

"B*TCHES LEAVE."

[–] dkgambler (158) 6 years ago

"Bitches leave!" is not only the best line in this movie, but quite possibly the best line in the history of cinema.

I remember when I was a young executive for this company .... I used to call the Old Man funny names ... ironbutt .... boner ... once I even called him ... asshole. But there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn, AND YOU JUST STEPPED OVER IT BUDDY BOY ....

"Good business is where you find it". A perfect hollow phrase describing corporate moral indifference.

Yes. A wise man, too, this earlier form.
