I always laughed at that part when she talks to the computer saying "I hate you!" and stuff when it won't work.

I also like when she's pretending to be a good mother in front of the doctor in the hospital, saying "I'm making pot roast, Walter's favorite!" but then walks off reverting back to herself "How could you let him on the roof? Dammit, Kenny!" and the doctor hears it haha.

Buckle up back there, we're going into... hyperactive

She does but I always liked Kenny's line, "dishes are done, man" 

I always use that when I finish an assignment or something.

And in the fashion show when she tells everyone

"I don't believe this. I get to get up at 5:30 every morning so I can beat rush hour traffic and go sit behind a desk for eight hours and miss Oprah Winfrey every day on my summer vacation. And then I get to drive home in gridlock IN A VOLVO with no air conditioning just so I can take care of you guys and put food on the damn table! It's a rat race and it sucks, Kenny."

"So what do you want, a medal? I mean come on... You didn't have to Whisk the couch."

"Well... It needed it."

Well, Bruce, I'm an executive level Administrative Assistant. And when I have those figures ready, I'll give you a buzz and you can run on up here and fetch them!

Oh, honey, I'm sorry. Did you get the diamond back?

No, Kenny, the baby sitter is dead! Now just do it!

My favorite of hers, when talking to that dolt boyfriend Bryan: "Well that's a *beep* thing to say!"

I laugh every time. That guy would piss me off too. He jumps to conclusions so fast and is so directly aggressive in an annoying, non-charming, and infuriating way.

I also love when her and Kenny get into it, and she's blasts him after he does her: "It's a rat race, Kenny, and it sucks! So what do you want, a medal?"

When dealing with Gus in his office: "I don't want to go anywhere with you!"

And as mentioned above, the doctor scene is hilarious. "Dammit Kenny!"
