Favorite line of dialogue?

"Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" boasts plenty of great lines, loaded with some shockingly harsh profanity considering that it's a PG-rated movie. My three favorite lines tastefully censored as to not offend anyone are as follows:
1.) "I'm gonna eat your lunch, you long-haired *(foul epithet for homosexual)*!"
2.) "Do that again and I'll braid your *(nasty expletive for breasts)*!"
and, the one I personally love the most, as venomously snarled by the immortal Vic Morrow,
3.) "See if you can get the word "son of a *(objectionable term for woman)*" in print!"
I would love to hear from fellow fans of this fine film. What's your favorite line or lines said in this movie?

My favorite is after Larry evades the hot rod Polara cop car, and Frankin in the helicopter: "What did I tell you -- all ya gotta be is willing to take it to the max!"

Of course, just about anything that Hanks (the young hot shot cop) says is hilarious -- you've already mentioned one, but I'll add another: "Keep going partner, 'cause my top end is unlimited!"

There is one line of dialogue that I have been trying to figure out for years though: It is during the chase with the souped up Polara cop car at the end for the film. Right after the Charger leads Hanks thru the dirt road, Hanks says something like "I'm gonna show you --- --- --- --- ---, buddy!!" Has ANYONE figured out what he says here? Whoever did the closed captioning on the DVD got it wrong, and this line is not in the movie script (I have it).

Can anyone figure out what he says there?

What he said was, "I'm gonna show you my twice pipes, Buddy!" Typical street racing term in the '70's meaning that you would be in the lead at the end of the race, thus letting your opponent see the rear of your car and it's dual exhaust.

"Know what it means when a guy like me gets off to a bad start? Not a G*DDAMN thing!"

[–] FullTimeKiller 18 years ago

Hands down the best line and scene next to the ending.

"Know what getting off to a bad start means to a guy like me?.....(camera zoom on fonda)... not a gotdamned thing."

*+* Me? I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. *+*

My favorite is when Larry first calls Capt. Franklin on the two-way radio:
"Clown to Franklin, Clown to Franklin... Here we are man - 50 square miles of nuthin' but road with 16 distinct and separate exits! If you REALLY get it on, you MAY be able to cover 15 of them.

I just watch this movie for the action. Turning up the "brightness" control on my TV doesn't make the dialogue any smarter, LOL

"Every bone in her crotch. That's what I'm going to break.

Classic.

"You do that again, and I'm gonna braid your t-ts!"

"As god as my witness... I thought turkeys could fly."

[–] hydra9 14 years ago

Absolutely gotta be the 'every bone in her crotch' line. Brilliant.

Also: 'You know what a smart man would do...?'

Dur-hur. It doesn't make the viewer any brighter either. That's how that generation spoke. I was there and heard it all the time...just like "Fer Shurr' and 'Totally' in the 1980s. It isn't bad dialogue. It's just accurate.

Best line for me, as a few have mentioned, is the 'Not a God Damned thing!" line.

Honorable mention-

"You know what a guy would do now if he was smart?"
"What?"
"I don't know. I thought you'd know." :)

As for Hank's garbled line, it's "I'm gonna show you my twice-pipes this time, buddy!", as mentioned, it's a 70s reference to dual exhaust.

This one is the BEST!

Larry Rayder: I think I'm gonna screw miss Mary. Do you mind, Deke?
Mary Coombs: *I* mind!
Larry Rayder: You didn't seem to mind last night. In fact, you were begging for more.
Mary Coombs: Oh, yeah? Well that shows you how little I was getting.

What about"I hope this guys a good sailor"when Larry forced the Polara cop car in the lake.Or when they jumped the bridge reading the lips of the bridge operator,i think he said "Holy S**T".Anyone know,what he lipsync?

[–] mrc285 17 years ago

I like what Larry yells out as Franklin's helicopter is trying to block the Charger. "He's crazy Deke. He's crazier than I am!"

Officer:
"It will be through in about 15 minutes do you still want it then?"

Capt. Franklin:
"What do you think I want to do? Smell the seats? Damn right I want it"

Franklin: This ain't no dirt-tracker, roundy rounder!

Carl: Kiss my ass.

Franklin: Ah, Carl. Now that's not nice.
