Funniest *little known* line?



Is there a line in this film that perhaps was said quietly, or just really tickled your funny bone?

For some reason, I always laugh good when Truvy is talking about Annelle:
"...and she had a chance to go to Mardi Gras with me, and two other sinners.."



"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

Clairee to Ouiser: “My goodness, you’re acting like a child!”

These two women are so cute in this scene. It’s my favorite in the movie.

I saw this in the theater with my mom and her favorite lines were spoken by Clairee. I love ya more than my luggage.

You have the handwriting of a serial killer.

Ouiser referring to Drumm as a "boil on the butt of humanity" or remarking that Drumm would probably take the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it.

When Ouiser & Clairee are buying groceries for Drumm & his family:

[dumps endless cans of pork & beans in cart]
"Clairee! This is just a gesture! We're not feeding Drum till the end of time!"
"Drumm loves pork & beans. He eats 'em with everything."
"Well, that explains a LOT!"




"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

Oh my gosh, I just have to laugh out loud reading these posts because I can absolutely hear in my head the tone of voice each actor uses when they're saying these quotes!

reply

Funniest line to me is when Clairee is the color announcer for the football game after she bought the KPPD radio station

Ouisa - Shut up - you're making a fool out of yourself

Clairee *shocked* I am not!

Ouisa - People wanna hear about touchdowns and injuries - they don't care about that grape *beep*


YOU MADE ME PLAY SECOND BASE!

I love the look when Ouiser opens her compact,and see's the front lol,

reply

"They are my family and I love 'em, but they do look like they've all been carved out of cream cheese." - Clairee


"If you can't say anything nice about anybody, come sit by me." - Clairee

(Both of these I quote regularly!)
