Mine is: "Is this how we dress for the office? You look like a blood clot."

Yoda needs to give me some better advice, or Yoda needs to shut the *beep* up!

I have two:

"Do you keep your brains & your ballsin that briefcase?"

and

"Is a frog's ass watertight?"

I have so many!

"Got my Tuesday panties on but I guess you know that too!"

"Could you put a little more fire into this fish? I think I just heard it holler help!"

"Rose look! Red wine and cheeses of the world!"

My all time favourite that cracks me up everytime is:

Rose: Oh my lord there's a sink in the living room
Sadie: That's what the French call a bidet
Rose: (tries to perch on the sink) Well the French must be taller than me.

Lol!

Looks like someone beat me to it: "What's the problem??? Have you got your brains and your balls in your briefcase?"

and "Is a frog's ass water-tight?"

Also:
Sadie: "Oh my God. How'd I get so FAT? I look like a wall-eyed salmon! They must've used a wide-angle lens..."
Rose: "No they didn't - see, I look thin."

Oh, and it's not a line, but the expressions alone are worth posting about - every time Rose realizes one of her shoulder pads has fallen into her sleeves, I literally fall to the ground in hysterics. Seriously, that first time it happens in the company meeting was the initial reason I kept watching the movie the first time I saw it on TV years ago! (Well, plus it's Midler AND Tomlin...times two!)

I love that line too!!!
I just think how Bette uses her eyes and gives the filthiest of looks makes me laugh! I just seem to find it hilarious when actresses behave like diva-ish b****es in films, like Goldie Hawn in Overboard!? Another favourite of mine.

For some reason I get the giggles watching Roone eat a croissant and then saying, "Is that what'cher worried about? Finding the Ratliffes? Lemme finish my Pop-Tarts here and I'll take you right to 'em."

I have to say I love all of those lines, but one I don't see mentioned here is Sadie's little speech in the elevator, near the end:

"I hate grits. And I hate men who smell like beer and BEAN dip! And I hate... makin' looove in the back of recreational VEE-hicles!"

It kills me!!

DESK BOY: I get off at 10, and I'd love to see the view from your room."
SADIE SHELTON: Well, we certainly can look forward to that!

----

SADIE SHELTON: What fantasy is this? Are we hearing voices now? Like Joan of Arc?

----

SADIE RATLIFF: You're in America now. Speak American.

----

ROSE RATLIFF: You can't out-snake me! tssssst tssssst tsssssst
