My Favorite line from this movie...


'You can't kiss her... you can never kiss her''We're her Mommy and her Daddy'.

If God had wanted me to marry poor he would have made me homely.

reply

"She has more lines than me, and she's a GODDAMNED MUTE!"

"You wanna know about my childhood? I wore too much makeup, the other kids thought I was evil!"

"Okay, let's try that line again. This time...without your shirt."

reply

"Buy a goddamn walker and put me in it!"

Sally Field rocks in this movie!

-Brando-

reply

Elisabeth Shue :

"This hat makes me look like the goddamned tweety bird!"

reply

"Sudden speech-one of the last stages of brain fever-she's gonna blow any moment!"

"Before she came to our little clinic, she was . . . Milton Morehead."

"You have beautiful eyes,"
"Yes, but they are nothing compared to my tits."

And I haven't seen this movie in forever. I love it. It is such wonderful, stupid crap.

reply

Yes it is wonderful rubbish. One of my favourite lines is:

Celeste: Even for an actor you're an egomaniac
Jeffrey: Of course I'm an egomaniac, I've got America's sweetheart climbing up my drainpipe
Celeste: I thought it was somebody else's drainpipe


Actually the whole exchange in the apartment is pretty funny


~We gladly feast on those who would subdue us~

reply

tlm, I find the whole apartment scene hilarious as well.

"Lori, get your clothes on. Your aunt's here."

"Your eyes are burning with desire!"
"I've got the flu."

I also love "One more date, we would have had a Greek tragedy on our hands."

I think Sally Field and Kevin Kline are hilarious together.

When was the last time you heard these exact words: You are the sunshine of my life?

reply

"Sudden speech-one of the last stages of brain fever-she's gonna blow any moment!"


LMAO!!! I love that line.

""Sudden speech-one of the last stages of brain fever-she's gonna blow at any moment!"

I agree. One of the truly great lines. Sometimes, for no reason at all, this line pops into my head and I start laughing. Can be very embarrassing in a crowded train on the morning commute!

reply

Rose: "Actors don't like to play coma; they feel it limits their range."

Celeste: "You're like ... not Hitler, the other one --"
Rose: "Hess."
Celeste: "No ..."
David: "Eichmann."
Celeste: "Eichmann! Eichmann ... that's you."

Montana: "I'm ... sweet, I'm tender ... I'm a victim."

Celeste: "David! Would you *mind* telling our new costume designer whose name I don't seem to remember at the moment, Tawny, thank you, that I don't feel quite comfortable wearing a turban??!! What I *feel* like is GLORIA *beep* SWANSON."

Cheers, all.

I haven't seen this in awhile, but one of my favorite lines was "You will not have a brain when it is complete!", "I don't want it, take the Goddamn thing!". And when Jeffery was misreading his lines because his glasses were "ugly". That whole live broadcast at the end was great.

Oh, and when Jeffery was looking at his picture in the tabloid and said, "Jesus! What an awful picture!!".

By the way, is there anyone else who thinks Kevin Kline looks like Dr. Clayton Forrestor?

"I, too, have an oath! A nurse's oath!"

reply

Celeste: "On the machine, Rose, on the machine!"

Rose: "Well I'm looking at dead crawfish butts; cover them up."

TV exec: "It's depressing and expensive, two words I hate. Words I love, peppy and cheap, peppy and cheap."

Before she was Montana Morehead she was milton Morehead from Siassot, Long Island!

reply

^^Rose's line, I loved the "Hello" after it.

Tony Stark: Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing.

reply

The line might have been funnier without Sally Field's WAY over the top delivery of the line. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed Field's performance in this film for the most part...she has always had great comic timing, but she just went too far in this particular scene...it might have been nice if the director had reined her in a little bit.

reply

Montana: WE WERE BOTH NAKED AND YOU PROMISED!
David: We were never nakeD.
Montana: WELL WE COULD HAVE BEEN!

I love that!

Hands down, it has to be:

"Rod Randall back from the dead - HOW DUMB IS THIS?!??

I looked it up. He was driving to visit his brother, who's an ex-con named Francis, WHEN a tractor trailer came along and decapitated him. You know what that means

THAT MEANS HE DOESN'T HAVE A HEAD!

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WRITE FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A HEAD!
HE'S GOT NO LIPS, NO VOCAL CORDS, WHADDYA WANT ME TO DO!

Celeste Talbert (Field) to Jeffrey Anderson (Kline): "I have feelings about you, not for you, there's a very big difference!!"

I've actually stolen that and said it to people...yeah, I can be a teensy bit unstable/dramatic (depending on how you look at it).

I know you're an emotional girl-it takes a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world.

reply

Yeah, and David is giving reasons to solve the problem. That is pretty good. Most producers probably wouldn't know what to do, but then again, he was involved in this scheme anyway.

reply

All of Kevin Kline's lines during the Live scene when he can't read the teleprompter.

You just have to be resigned-
You're crashing by design

reply

[deleted]

When Kevin Kline is doing the dinner theatre. The whole scene is hilarious, especially when he has to raise his voice because the audience is talking or calling the waiter,etc.

I think Miller would be turning over in his grave if he saw that scene of Salesman like that. Yes, he was alive at the time, but maybe he didn't see it.

reply

"Better than Laguna Beach - hotter, wetter, sandier, saltier"

"Attention: NO TURBANS FOR MISS TALBOT"

"Did the mute speak?"

"Ariel should be raped by Father Corey"

"A little soup is so warming... Now please go in and get out of the sun"

reply

I don't know why but this always cracke me up:

(during her scene with Bolt)
Celeste Talbert: Next time, could you wear a swimsuit underneath the towel? It's a little early in the day for me. (turns and walks away)

Blair Brennan: I can't act in a swimsuit.

Tawny Miller: I know...

Hahahahaha! I can't act in a swimsuit!! haha!

Garry Marshall (as program producer): "There's a nurse in the restaurant. Did I miss a meeeting?!"

~~~~~~~

Not a line, but I love Sally Field's "double take," when she goes from being intolerant of Klein's inability to read the cue-cards, to realizing that the word in impossibly long and unpronounceable.

reply

Another Garry Marshall one: "That's depressing and it's expensive. Two words I hate. You know which two words I like? I like the word peppy and the word cheap. Peppy and cheap."
