My personal fave is the Sweet Tooth ice cream scene. Reynolds first explains the "protective ice" and then Brooks says that it tastes like an "orange foot."

I gotta say that whole shopping scene that follows cracks me up too when I think about it, especially when Reynolds tries to fit her food on "her side" of the refrigerator.

I love the scene in the supermarket parking lot, trying to park, it will laugh everytime, hell i am laughing now just thinking about it.

"Someone had to stop us from going around."


At the mall parking lot:

"Taaaaaaake the ticket!"


Puppy at the mall:

"Who am I , Lenny? I'm not going ot kill it."


On a date with the extraordinarily dim Lisa Kudrow character:

"You know what? Let's get the check."


In the supermarket with all the older ladies:

"We're turning into skeletons here."


With mother at the mall

"What if we were man and wife?"


In the kitchen:

"Did you get this from the Smithsonian commissary?"

"Lettuce doesn't get old."

When he is at the gas station on the way to see his mother and he tells the attendant hes headed up north.

"Big Sir(Sur)?"

"No, Big Mama"

the guy starts laughing hysterically and then stops and says

"what the hell does that mean?"

Always cracks me up.

The protective layer of ice on the Sherbet is my favorite! So funny!

The scene where he's fighting with his brother over his mom in the front yard. He taunts his brother joking that he's in a sexual relationship with his mother. The looks on mom's face as she see's the neighbour lady's reactions are priceless.

"I could scrape the top off the meatloaf"
"What would that do?"
"Well, it wouldn't be as much meat then"
"But it's still meat...what difference does it make how much you have?"
"You really don't like meat, huh?"
"No Mother, I don't like eating cows"
"Oh, Honey....EVERYTHING comes from a cow....EVERYTHING"

Don't know why, but that just cracks me up!

I loved the first scene
Lawyer: Now this being your second divorce, Mr. Henderson, I'm sure you're familiar with the procedure, but your wife, uh... ex-wife, should know it would be wise not to leave the state for a few weeks until it's finalized.
Karen Henderson: I'm not planning to leave the state.
John Henderson: No. She just left me. She had nothing against the land.


The dialogue in the supermarket was priceless.

"Why are you getting a different cart?" 'You said you didn't want meat and I figured that meant you didn't want it touching your food.' "It's fine to have it in the cart, I just don't want to ingest it."
I've known over-accommodating people like that.

"It's not like people wait in line for bread anymore." (glances at the long line in the bakery).

"Stephen King could afford expensive jelly. My son... not so much."
Man, talk about twisting a knife in him.

When they run into the ladies again, they all remark it's sooo funny and he just says, "it's not that funny."

Lastly the mall scene where she talks to the pet store owner about his divorce.
"Well, he asked." 'Yeah, when they take down your information, they ask for your marital status.'

almost every scene is drop dead funny, but I love the scenes when the two brothers are fighting, and the older brother taunts the younger about the "sexual" relationship he has with their mother, and the younger brother's wife is funny, too. I also love the scenes about the food. And then Albert Brooks embarrasses his mom by taking her to Victoria's secret, after she's embarrassed him at the pet store.

There were quite a few gems in this movie. I really liked the part where Jeff came up state, and John said, "Oh yeah, they'd rather be inside in a darkened room with their grandmother."

reply

The part where he wants to hire guys to help him move his furniture back into his room. His mom says: They're different than us." and John says: "No, you're different than them.". And I love the part where she drives the tv delivery guy crazy over the color of the picture. Also the sherbet, the "Somebody had to stop us from going around!" And so many others. Love this movie. Especially since I had a mother who was sort of like her, so I can relate.

I liked when she said "oh I'm not intimate with him we just have sex sometimes"
