Favorite lines from 'Action'

I just got the dvd set and am enjoying this show again after all these years. It seems every episode has a classic quote or two.

Here are a couple that jumped out at me after watching the first four episodes:

"I crumbled under its majesty!"

(Salma Hayek curses out Peter in Spanish)
Peter: "What did she say?"
Maitre-D: "She called you a pig"
Peter: "What? She was talking for five minutes!"

What are some of your favorite quotes from the series, 'Action' fans?

"Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh."

Another one:

AA Member: "I had parasites in my stool and non-specific urethrits, but the important thing is: I didn't take a drink today."
Peter: "Holy crap! Why not?!?"

"Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh."

Cole Riccardi: Peter....I'm gay.

Peter Dragon: I could care less.

Cole Riccardi: Well, thank you. My dilemma is I am ready to come out of the closet.

Peter Dragon: When?

Cole Riccardi: Tomorrow.

Peter Dragon: Tomorrow?! What, are you high on poppers? Tomorrow? Cole, you're an action movie star. You get paid millions of dollars to shoot racially stereotyped villians and...and gnaw on the breasts of actresses that are 20 years younger than you.

Cole Riccardi: And I still want to do that, but as an openly gay man.

Peter Dragon: You can't, Cole! O...How 'bout we call the folks at Hasbro and inform them of your reorganization, and we'll tell them to re-do the Cole Riccardi doll. Have an AK-47 in one hand, and a tube of K-Y Jelly in the other.

My most memorable one is:

This quote's probably not exact, but....

"Your crotch has had more visitors than Graceland!"

We have used this line since 1999 ...

Adam: The doctors found blood in my stool

Peter: (obviously not listening...or caring) That's fantastic

From Peter's chewing out of the guy in the parking lot at the beginning of the pilot:

"Unfortunately for you, I'm employee of the *beep* CENTURY!"

erin daniels (after illeana douglas finds her in bed with jay mohr): "well i guess i'm not gonna be her assistant"

actually, no. the bit where he says that erin shouldn't feel bad, it's not a dirty thing when two people care about each other

"I want Holden hanging from that rope faster than O.J. at a Klan rally!"

"I'm proud to say that today I'm celebrating six days of sobriety!" "And I'm also celebrating six days of sobriety.....in the past five years."

"Your dick is so small you couldn't **bleep** a cheerio and break it!"

Buddy Hackett: "I'm 75 years old, I've got one gonad, one lung, one kidney; I take Viagra just not to wet my shoes!"

PETER: "Listen to these numbers: In 1987, 95% of all on-screen homicidal maniacs were played by white males. Whereas last year, 50% of on-screen homicidal maniacs were played by blacks, women, and Puerto Ricans. I, sir, am very proud of those numbers and their progress."

"Daddy?"

Not funny but one of my favorite lines of the show: "We're not paid to be nice guys....we're paid to get the job done" Sums it up for me.

I don't hate "reality" TV. . . I just hate the people who watch it.
