Peter: [on phone to Jim Brogan] My dear sir, I must once again remind you that my first name is not 'Dick'. Nor is my surname 'Face'. It is simply 'Peter'. 'Peter Plunkett'... No sir, I do not have a middle name but if I did I'm quite certain my mother would not have chosen 'S**t for brains, pecker-head'... Well, you obviously know a side to my mother that I have been happily shielded from.

Martin: Madam, for you I missed my wedding for the first time in years, that's how much I want you. Sure, I know, I'm a ghost and a murderer but...forget about all that.

Sharon: What do you mean 'I'm dead'?
Martin: You just take my word for it.
Sharon: You're just saying that so you can have your wicked way with me.
Martin: If you hadn't have died I wouldn't be able to have my wicked way with you!

Sharon: You dirty peeping Tom!
Martin: My name's not Thomas. It's Martin!

Martin: Oh God, what have I done? Oh God, what have I done?...Oh God, what a woman! [vanishes]
Sharon: [breathless] You're not so bad yourself!

"He murders his wife every night. Other than that, I think he's pretty harmless."

Absolutely Peter's opening monolog!

[–] lsmith335 18 years ago

First off, just let me say that this was one of my favorite movies when I was really really young. We just rented it again last month, and I finally understood what the movie was about. ha ha So, I'll just put down a few of my favorite lines that haven't already been said.

"What is this? Why are blocks of masonary floating about?"

"Okay now party's over! Party's over!"

Jack: "Hi, Marty!"
Martin: "Where's the wife?"
Jack: *nods up the stairs*
Martin: "Not mine you dote. YOURS!"
Sharon: "I'm being chased by a UFO!"

"So I'm seeing this guy right, and he's a devil worshiper. Well, he's a hair dresser really, but he devil worships on the side. So, we booked this stupid tour b/c he's into ghosts, corpses, dead gerbils, that sort of thing. And then he runs off with this buddhist monk. I mean, how was I supposed to know he was gay? So what about you, are you gay?"
Brother Tony: "No. I'm chaste."
"Just kidding. Trick question."

I also like the line that I use as my signature (below). Jack says it to Sharon (about Martin) when she's describing the man that was in her shower.

Also:

Sharon: That's the man that was in my bathtub! That's him! My God, he's gigantic!

"He murders his wife every night. Other than that, I think he's pretty harmless."

"That's my shaggin' bus!"

"Woof. In tones of low menace"

[–] peachy_starr 17 years ago

My favorite line isn't really a line. It's when Peter takes a sip of his drink and makes the funniest sound " Aahhahhahh". Everytime I see that part, I feel like I'm gonna pass out from laughing.

Lester - It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself.

When Brother Tony's pants are set on fire by the ghostly nuns (after he was spying on a half-naked Miranda) and he yells, "Lord, I get the message!"

"He murders his wife every night. Other than that, I think he's pretty harmless."

[–] zoso_uk 17 years ago

I've always adored this movie, ever since I was about 6 and my favourite line in the whole thing is when Peter Plunkett says to his Dad "oh fine! Call me names, that's soooo easy" He's just like a little kid, the way he says it is hilarious. I also love "you all appear to be a trifle moist".

This is a very serious operation - you will not have a brain when it is complete!

[–] nekkid_hill_billy 17 years ago

all i could remember was the nuns in the wall but damn i laugh everytime i think of it

[–] mbutton 17 years ago

Any line w/Peter's mother, she is quite hilarious.

When Peter is on the line w/Jim Brogan and Mother is listening in:

Mother: "Peter, who you calling?"
Peter: "Mother, will you please get off the line!"

...

Mother: "What Postal strike?" (said in the conversation well after the "postal strike" was mentioned)
Peter: "SHUT UP MOTHER!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~

When Peter is about to hang himself:

Mother: "Oh there you are! Taking the easy way out, you naughty boy!!"

Then after Peter tosses her the rope:
Peter: "Here, hold this"
Mother (very casually and offhandedly): "I'm not going to help you"

1) Mary: If I get murdered one more time I'll scream!

2) Jack: Could you love a man who belched but didn't squish?

3) Jack: You're a ghost, I'm an American. It would never work out.
