What lines do you quote the most from this classic?


Mine are....

"he sounded really upset"

"He should be....he's gonna die a horrible *beep* death"




"God.....you hit that kid one more time and i'm gonna stick that pig's head right up your ass"

"Gary are you gonna let him talk to me like that??!!"

"Well Honey, he is a doctor"



"Shut up and eat your GD dinner!!"


Whats yours?

The corpse still has the floor!








"You can't tell me nothin' if you ain't had an 8-track." -Sinbad

reply

hehe, that's mine too!
and another one: "is there a waste of *beep* life named Murray there?"
i love this movie! (that's not a quote, :P )

reply

I wouldn't say I quote it, but it always cracks me up, just the way the cop says it. It's at the beginning when they're investigating the burglary.:

Milford - "Uh, Lieutenant, I found this mask with a weird smell.
Huff - (Sniffing) "Urine."
Milford - "Oh, thank God. Phil thought it might be semen."
Huff - "Phil needs to talk to a therapist."


That and the classic, "Lady, your husband ain't dead. He's hiding."

reply

i can't believe no one has mentioned the line where kevin spacey tells his mom he is going to get her a big cross for Christmas so that she can nail herself to it whenever she is feeling underappreciated...I have actually used that on a few people before...extremely funny and relevant for many people.

reply

I use that line on people too! Hilarious...and true for many.

reply

"Your gonna be somebody's patient if you don't sit your ass back in that chair" Anyone else saying that would not be nearly as funny as the way Denis Leary delivers it, so damn funny!

I think the line I loved the most is when JK Simmons was knocking on the front door of the house toward the end of the movie and Denis Leary looks out the curtain, then says "The Army! What am I, f@ckin' Oswald?"

"If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions."

reply

"Don't eat the penis. It's just garnish."

reply

The response to "Who the hell do you think you are?":

"Slipper Socks - Medium"

Almost no one knows what movie I'm quoting!

reply

Don't remember the exact words, but when Kevin Spacey accuses Judy Davis of flirting with Denis Leary, she says:

"I was frightened! People get frightened, they have emotions. Didn't your alien leaders teach you that before they sent you here?"

reply

I'm in with slipper sox too. I loved that. You're right, no one has ever heard of this gem.

reply

Lloyd: What's your name?
Gus: F-ck you, that's my name

Gus: Great. I just beat up Santa Claus

"I'm just a happy camper! Rockin' and a-rollin'!" - Patrick Bateman, American Psycho

Rose: "Is it real coffee, or some Scandinavian Christmas potion?" LOL

Nothin' beats a buck and a duck.

I love the exchange near the end when Gus tells Lloyd's Mom he wants to tie her to the back of his truck and take her for a ride and even though she's tied up she looks him dead in the eye and says "You don't have the balls." And then Lloyd has to restrain Gus from killing her and Gus winds up telling her that she's supposed to be a mother and nuturing, not a vicious witch and he says something like "I got news for your lady, your husband isn't dead - He's hiding."

There was another exchange earlier in the film when Gus is trying to move everyone into another room and he threatens everyone by holding a gun up to Lloyd's Mom and says "Everyone move or I'll shoot her." And the DIL responds, "Go ahead. Shoot her."

Those 2 scenes kill me every time I see this movie.

reply

DIL---The great Christine Baranski! Ever seen the episode of her on Frasier??? Absolutely hilarious!

reply

That's a great scene.How about afterwards when Lloyd says this line to his mother:
You know what, Mom? You know what I'm going to get you next Christmas? A big wooden cross, so that every time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it.

reply

Such a great movie...
Judy Davis about the mother in law... " and I still say getting laid by an 18 year old linebacker IS JUST WHAT SHE NEEDS!"

reply

I am very biased towards this movie and I consider it one of the most quotable movies of all time above even classics like Goodfellas - and I LOVE that movie too... but this one has expert delivery from everyone and it's just perfect.

Sometimes it's the actions of the actors and not what they say that's funny. Case in point: Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis are the marriage counsler's office and when he asked if there were any sexual problems and Judy Davis says something like, "the last time it wasn't all that.... noteworthy?" and Dr. Wong starts writing... the look on Kevin Spacey's face is priceless!

OR

Grandmother: Wong? you're a Wong?
Gus: Well... my mother was Irish
Grandmother: And you father?
Gus: Wasn't

That - among so many others are priceless.



Oh... I can get us there real fast... Jack Butler's gonna like you.

Leary to the Mother

"You're husband ain't dead lady...He's hiding'!

"It doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you." -Neil Young

reply

You're husband ain't dead lady...He's hiding!

The way that you know that this is a *great* line is how long it has been around, and it still gets a laugh.

I recently saw that line in the Abbott & Costello movie In Society from 1944 (slightly reworded to use "he" instead of "your husband" because in that case the immediately preceding line had referred to "my husband"). Even then, it was in one of the scenes in which A&C were obviously doing a much older vaudeville routine (virtually every A&C movie had a few such scenes / routines).
