"So THAT's the other end of your party line."
"I've never seen a boy with so many arms before!"
"Happy?" "Happy." (thunk)
"My analyst will never believe this." "Neither will mine."
The funniest part of the film is when Brad pretends to interrupt "Rex" and Jan ("all right, but you're on my half-hour"), and then laughs while Jan tells "Rex" how much she loathes Brad.
"You and Moose, I mean, Miss Taggett..." That whole scene is hilarious.
Any scene with Alma and the elevator operator- "What are you tryin' to do? Break the sound barrier?"
The street dialogue when Brad is carrying Jan through the streets of New York- "They'll never believe this back in Wichita Falls."
And, one of the best running gags in a movie ever- all the scenes where the doctor and nurse think Brad is pregnant- "You don't understand! I'm having a baby!" "Oh, we know!"

Little boy, on seeing Rock carrying Doris (in her bed-clothes) down the sidewalk, "Mommy, where's that man taking that lady?"
Little boy's mother, "I'll tell you when you're older."
It's not a line so much...but the part were Doris is playing the piano and she suddenly recognises the tune as the one Rock sings to his ladies, there's this moment of fantastic realisation for both of them, he's even humming along to it...and then they both look horrified.
Then there's this slightly out of tune harmonica that plays to emphasise that his 'country hick' act was all a lie, and for some reason, it absolutely cracks me up everytime!
100% English
Jonathan: Jan, why won't you marry me?
Jan: Jonathan, I don't love you!
Jonathan: Well, that's absurd!
...is priceless!
share....The funniest part of the film is when Brad pretends to interrupt "Rex" and Jan ("all right, but you're on my half-hour"), and then laughs while Jan tells "Rex" how much she loathes Brad....
I love how he laughs, I think it looks like he really is laughing and not acting laughing. I just love this movie.
I don't recall exactly, but Tony Randall claims to be a member of a minority group. Rock Hudson asks him, derisively "What minority group do you belong to?" Tony Randall answers, "Millionaires. But don't you worry, we'll fight for our rights."
shareI don't believe no-one has mentioned:
Jonathon: Just to make sure you do plenty of scoring up there
Brad: I'll do my best
But my favorite lines always come from the woman and doctor who think Brad is pregnant: "Somewhere in this building there may be a man who has crossed a new frontier."
I love this movie... full of double entendres!
Of many great lines, I think my favorite is when Jonathan comes looking for Jan and realizes the game that Brad/Rex has been playing:
Jonathan (to the desk clerk): And you didn't stop her? (from going to the country with Rex)
Desk Clerk: Well, sir, it was hardly my place...
Jonathan: No, it's MY place - and I helped him pack!
I love every piece of dialogue with Thelma Ritter but the drinking scene with Rock Hudson is priceless. "You have an apartment, she decorates apartments" and so on. Every time Rock Hudson's head hits the table with a thud I cringe. I hope they used sound effects!
shareJust saw this great movie again this weekend. Of course, every time Thelma Ritter opens her mouth, out comes a classic.
Another part I love is in the piano bar. The singer has been watching Rock and his maneuvering and it's clear he's taking Doris off for a romantic weekend under his false identity. The singer looks right at him and sings, "You lied, you dog, and you'll be sorry!" That's when Rock winks at her.

I loved ALL the lines. We actually did "Pillow Talk" as our senior class play in 1966. There obviously was a sanitized version copyrighted for use in high schools at the time. I still have the old script. I was a minor character--Miss Dickenson from the phone company!
"What we need here is more cowbell!"...Christopher Walken

"My analyst will never believe this." "Neither will mine."
That's still a hip and funny line -- it could be a line from one of Woody Allen's films made twenty years later.
All the universe . . . or nothingness. Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?
During one of Jan & Brad's phone spats: (something like) "Mr. Allen, not every man ends a sentence in a proposition."
shareSo many great ones already have been mentioned! But I also LOVE when the telephone company inspector knocks on Brad's door and he asks, "What would you like to inspect?" then she says there's been a complaint filed against him and he says, "That's funny, I've never had any complaints before!
ROFL! Oh the innuendo!! It's priceless in this movie!
"Don't dream it, be it."
Rock and Tony Randall at the restaurant:
R: You and Moose....I mean, Miss Taggart will get along...
T: MOOSE?
R: now, now, Jonathan....
T: are you kidding....?
R:Jonathan, you've gotta help me out...
T:Sorry, pal, it's your moose, happy hunting!
R: ....yes indeedy....
And Thema's comments to the elevator guy ...."hotrodder". ....'beatnik"!
Great script, and very funny, also agree..loads of innuendo..it's amazing what slipped through back in those days!
