Favourite Lines From The Movie

I can't remember the exact lines but it was funny when Lenny was having dinner with Kelly in her parent's house and he was talking about the honest food, no dishonesty in the broccoli or lima beans or something like that.

When Lenny talked about playing his "cards" in telling with Mr. Corcoran his intentions:

First, Lenny said he was just "shuffling" when asked if those were his cards. And finally when he was done, he said (paraphrasing), "Those are my cards, and there isn't a joker in the bunch!"

One of my favorite movies.

Come on....the two best??

1)..."I served my country! Unfortunately not overseas due to a minor back injury."

2)..."Honey, do you want me to call the officer that pulled me from the wreckage? Officer Johnson!"

I always loved where Lila says something to the extent of "Then how about little squares?" after Lenny tells her to stop making circles in his chest hair. That line always made me giggle out loud.

Obviously "There's no deceit in the cauliflower" is also undeniably brilliant.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

"Because I hate him!"

"Two seconds. Two seconds..."


.

'You're flattered? I just gave up my marriage for you and you're flattered?'

I'm watching it for the first time in many years.

One line jumped out at me: the announcement at their honeymoon hotel~"Paging Max Dugan!" He's a character in one of my favorite films, also from a Neil Simon story: "Max Dugan Returns" (1983)! Jason Robards, Jr., plays the con artist returning to daughter and grandson (Marsha Mason and newcomer Matthew Broderick).
