Melvin Udall: I can't get back to my old life. She's evicted me from my life!🐭 share
Simon Bishop: Did you really like it all that much?
I can't believe nobody's mentioned the stiff one eye.
"Jesus, does anyone?"
The "stiff one eye." Lmao. There are so many good lines, but since no one has mentioned it, when Simon is talking to a flustered Melvin.........."your the one who is....... dying here ." I thought he did a pretty good impression of JN. :)
shareIs that when he says "I'm drowning here, and you're describing the water"?
Everything about this movie I love. Great writing and acting. Comedy genius. I never get tired of watching this...but it always gets me every single time when he starts playing the song on the piano, and singing, so the dog would eat. His expression while singing is priceless.

It wasn't the one with the "I'm drowning " line, although that's funny too. It's the scene where they get back from Baltimore, & Simon & Melvin are in Melvin's apt. & Carol & Melvin just spoke on the phone. The conversation didn't go as Melvin wanted it too, so he was upset & rambling on & on & said "I'm dying here." Simon was trying to console him, but Melvin said "and you people are supposed to be sensitive? If you want to help me, your going to have to do better than that. Simon got pissed & said something like "well your the one who's dying here."
It always cracked me up b/c when he said "dying here ", he did it in JN'S voice. Pretty good impression. Watch it again & get back to me (if u want) to give me your thoughts. :)
Right, no I remember perfectly the scene you're describing. He did a spot on impression. I love the hell out of that movie.

'Over a DOG! Over an ugly dog.'
Thanks for that. It made me watch that link again, bringing me two minutes of pure unadulterated sheer happiness. I love the hell out of that movie.

After the Baltimore trip, when Simon sees that all his stuff is in Melvin's apt-
Simon - I love you
Melvin - I gotta tell you I'd be the luckiest guy alive if that did it for me.
Another touching line from this spectacular movie. Well delivered and heartfelt.

"Police! Donut-munching morons, help me! Help me!"
Then to Cuba:
"Assault and battery, and you're black!"
Reportin' live for Black TV: White folks are dead, we gettin' the f*@# outta here!
Melvin: "Do you realize that I work at home?"
Simon: "Uh, no, I wasn't aware."
Melvin: "Do you like to be interrupted when you're nancing around in your little garden?"

Your first example is the one I thought of right off and is true. And then society tries to tell men women run the household... and most (liberal) men allow it to happen.

"If it's election night, and you're excited and you want to celebrate because some fudge packer that you date, has been elected the first queer president of the United State, and he's going to have YOU down to camp David, and you want someone to share the moment with.....Even then, don't knock, not on this door, not for ANY reason.. Do you get me sweetheart?"
"Look, Elephant girl, get Carol, you know I'll pay whatever you want, I'll wait....DO IT!"
Carol to Melvin, "Come on in and try not to ruin everything by being you!"
"Take away the pain, but leave the swelling."
Is there any other way to see it?
The fact that so many adult men and women are so sensitive to a line in a movie that they can't find the humor in it shows how childish and insecure this world has become. We're more obsessed with politeness and feelings than actually making progress. We'll never get to Mars like this.
That being said....
