I think my favorite line was when James Woods says to the chief (after being irritated by MJF when he first comes into the station).. 'NOt if you taped my tongue to the tailpipe of a car and dragged me over broken glass'.. LOL or something like that. James Woods was so good in this movie!

Nick Lang impersonating Susan - "I thought you were quitting for me!"

or the part where Nick is handcuffed to the sofa bed... "I can't even go to the bathrooooooooooooooom!" as well as "I'll be there...as long as I'm not still handcuffed to the god damn sofaaaaaaa!"

The delivery is what makes them so funny.

Moss:Dick-less Tracy.

And basically most of the dialogue spoken between Fox and Woods at the bar when he,s impersonating Susan.Laughed my arse off.

And not a spoken line,but I love how Fox,s character desperately craves making a gritty film and then after doing so,the title of the film is revealed as The Good,The Badge and The Ugly.So cheesy and typical of Nick Lang.

"Not if you tied my tongue to your tail-pipe and drove me eighty miles-an-hour NAKED across a field of broken glass."

Yeah, that's one of my favourite lines, not just from this film, but ever. It comes in so abruptly after several minutes of James Woods being silent while he's heckled by Michael Fox, and his delivery is superb!

To this day, whenever somebody does something stupid I still say "You sharpshooter, we heard about you!" For that line to stay with me for 21 years it must be a good one.

The other part that kills me is when Nick is on the billboard about to fall, and he start waving his arms around going SSUUUUSSAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!!! The way he does it, and the look on his face are hysterical.

"This is America, and you've got the right to hate who you want, so lets start bustin heads!!!"
