Favorite lines


The first that always comes to mind is, "Well, you really shouldn't pull it." It often appears in conversation with my wife, making the most innocuous things seem a tiny bit dirty, as in the movie.

Also:
"The danger of the chase has made you perspire...it has made me also...moist."
(actually, anything by Meistrich - Scott knocked it out of the park with that accent)

"Is that your best shot, savage gypsy lover?"

Too many others to name.


Of course, there could be a whole thread on the movie's great physical gags, too.



"My brain rebelled, and insisted on applying logic where it was not welcome."

"Well you really shouldn't pull it" is one of my favorite lines from any movie - ever. I so agree with you!

Still... I'd have to say that my favorite line from this movie (which I'm sure I'll retract and edit in post after post on this thread) is "#uck the creampuffs! This man is a slave and an idiot!"

I first caught this movie on hbo back in college... I still quote it with my friends.

I'm so happy to see that I'm not the only person who adores this film!

Every line was a great line in this film, but I love the finale, when Lily "Lil" asks Maurice and Arthur: "Fellas, I need to ask, if you didn't want to see the show, why didn't you just sell the tickets? It sounds like you needed the money."

Anything said by Billy Connolly.

Sparks: Perhaps we should wrestle sometime. Do you like the taut roundness that exercise brings to the buttocks?
Maurice: [uneasy] Yeah.
Sparks: Do you enjoy the warmth of the Mediterranean sun on that self-same place? I once wrestled a man on the steps of the Acropolis, when the sun was at its height, wearing only what God sent me into the world with. Can you picture that? That's where we'll wrestle, my semi-Grecian lad. That's where I'll make a man of you.
