Top Couple - Fav. Lines

here is one of my favorite lines in the movie, when Walter Matthau & Jack Lemmon is sitting on the bus, and Matthau says something nasty to one of the crooks on the bus.

crook: "What did you say, old man??"
(some silence..)
Walter: "I honestly can't remember.."

Jack Lemmon: "You got a lawyer?"
Walter Matthau: "Yeah, in Florida. He's 92. It takes him six hours to walk to the telephone. Case will be over."

Walter to Jack: "It's been 17 years, but you still retain that unique, elusive pain in the ass quality that drives me berserk."

Jack Lemmon: "If we go down, you go down with us..
Walter Matthau: Who are you, Dirty Harry?

Walter: Don't you take the pills with water?
Jack: The local water?

Policeman: "I hope you won't be offended by me saying.. I hope to God I never see either of you two again."

Walter Matthau: "Look, Instead of complaining, why don't you look around for a telephone."
Jack Lemmon: "What the hell makes you think there'd be a telephone anywhere out here? This is probably where they test those nuclear bombs."

Jack: "I hate mess and I hate disorder. I went to a hypnotist to try and cure me."
Walter: "Didn't work, huh?"
Jack: "No, he was late. I straightened up his office and left."

(In The Desert)
Walter: "I think I figured out where we are"
Jack: "Where?"
Walter: "In a Clint Eastwood movie."

Walter: "I think I just seen Omar Sharif on a camel.."

When Jack Lemmon (Felix) called Oscar a "g--damn, idiotic, imbecillic, totally moronic SHI-HEAD!", and then slammed his fists on the car, causing it to roll down the hill. That was a funny scene.

My favorite line was

"So we can catch all the heavy traffic at 5 o' clock at Los Pecos." (hilarious)

I really like these lines from Oscar

"That's a lot of cops to get one ticket."

"If were lucky it's the killer bees from Brazil."

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?!?!"

"He's still mad because they took his license away."

"Felix! It's not a hair piece anymore now it's a nest!."

"Hurry up, or else then the snails will start passing us."

"Ok Felix, make out a timetable: when your gonna eat, when your gonna pee, when your gonna fart, when your gonna cry, and when your gonna sleep, because that's the last time I'm pulling off the freeway, ya hear?"

Don't have the exact quote but when Felix realizes Oscar left his suit case in front of the rental car agency and Oscar says, "Maybe they can fax it to you."

"What we need here is more cowbell!"...Christopher Walken

So much great diologue from Lemmon and Mattheu in this movie. Because most of my favorite lines have already been mentioned, I think one of my favorite lines not brought up was one by Mattheu when they were driving with that old guy.

After discovering the old man has died, his body falls over against the door with his head sticking out the window.
Oscar: "Oh, God. Pull him in quick before a bird lands on him."

I think it is the way he says that makes me laugh everytime.

"Rap music is just computerised crap."- George Harrison

My favorite lines:

Oscar: "They have new things today that'll get it to ya fast like federal express, UPS, uhhh fax!
Felix:"Oh they're fax my suitcase to me! I can wear a picture of my black wedding suit. And paper copies of $10,000 cash!

Oscar::"You know, I've walked more than we've driven today!"

Dead old man falls forward on the horn and scares Oscar while hes getting the hairpiece off the hood of the car. He thinks Felix blew the horn
Oscar:"ARE YOU CRAZY?"
Felix:"I didn't do it. He did."
Oscar:"Well check his pulse again!"

The "fourfecta" scene is hilarious.
