When Woody is in the cab with Diane Keaton...
"Wow, you look so beautiful, I can hardly take my eyes off the meter"
I think you mean "I can hardly keep my eyes on the meter".
Makes more sense, don't you think?

Wow, WriterDave, you are dense. Let's try a little reading comprehension.
One of the lines is:
"I'm from Philadelphia; we believe in god. We don't talk about these things."
Diane Keaton doesn't say that as a rationalization because she feels severely handicapped. She says it because of the cultural differences between Philadelphia and New York- in her mind, Philadelphia is more of an old-fashioned city with old values.
She is also the only character who drops F-bombs throughout the movie, and she has an affair with a married man. So she is probably one of the most immoral characters in the movie, despite her self-righteous comments.
So that line is really another failed attempt by her to assert some sort of moral/intellectual superiority over everyone, similar to the way she pronounces Van Gogh. It's all because she is generally insecure. Classic stuff!

Dianne Keaton tries to pronounce van Gogh correctly (the way it is pronounced in the Netherlands). I appreciate the effort but she doesn't get it right herself.
The correct pronunciation should have the throat-clearing-sound at the beginning as well as at the end of "Gogh".
Isaac to Tracy: "You're God's answer to Job" and the explanation that follows (can't remember it exactly).
Only Woody can deliver such a cheesy line in such a perfect manner.
The Dude abides
I cannot help but to crack up and rewatch that one scene where he thinks he hears someone sawing a trumpet in half...and he is walking around freaking out about it, talking about getting a hotel room and in the middle of his ranting..."Where's the aspirin...where did you put the aspirin?"
sharediane keaton: "i'm from philadelphia, we believe in god."
shareI can't express anger, I grow a tumor instead.
I couldn't stop laughing at that point...classic stuffs.
shareIsaac and Mary running through Central Park in freak thunderstorm:
Isaac: Hurry! You wanna wind up in an ashtray? I think I just heard the Chrysler Building blow up!
Mary: Did you know every year one or two people are killed by lightning in Central Park?
Isaac: Oh really? Well you run ahead...I'll see you later in the week!
Mary: My problem is, I'm both attracted and repelled by the male organ...
Or something like that, just prattling it off while walking through a museum. Keaton's character really nailed that particular type of New Yorker; but she's loveable at the same time.

1. AS others have mentioned,when diane Keaton keeps referencing the fact she is from philadelphia.
2. when woody allen is breaking up with mariel hemingway and he says, "you should be going out with guys your own age like tommy and biff and scooter"
I love the almost autobiographical stuff about mothers -
1) when he responds to Meryl Streeps ascertion that kids having two mothers is perfectly ok by saying that most people barely survive one mother
2) when he tells Diane Keaton about the short story he wrote based on his mother,`'the castrating zionist'
"America - the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between."
tie between
"I had a mad impulse to throw you down on the lunar surface and commit interstellar perversion."
and
"Oh really, he was a genius, Helen's a genius and Dennis is a genius. You know a lot of geniuses, y'know. You should meet some stupid people once in a while, y'know, you could learn something."
Dude means nice guy. Dude means a regular sort of person.

Lol. Forgot about The Castrating Zionist.

The one that made me laugh most recently was when Diane Keaton is leaving Woody to go back to Michael Murphy, and Woody says to her something like: "Did you talk to your psychiatrist about this?" and she says "Donnie's in a coma. He had a very bad acid experience". This line made me laugh really hard. Also, any reference to Woody trying to run over Meryl Streep and her lover (and him sometimes denying it and sometimes admitting it).
