What's everyone's favorite quote(s) from this movie?

Mine are:

(Loretta is singing the chourus of "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man" to Patsy on the tour bus)
Doo:Where you get that from Loretta?
Loretta(kicks him):Where do you think?

Station Manager:Ok, Miss Lorranie Lynn
(Cut to Doo in his car)Doo:WHAT?!

Patsy:What we can't buy, we make. What we can't make, we'll steal.
(Loretta and Patsy howel with laughter)

[Doo has given Loretta a book on "sex"]Loretta:That dadgum word is a foot long!

and OF COURSE:

Loretta:Doo, that's my husband, he'll get to actin' horny. The more I laugh the hornier he gets. He'll say 'Loretta slap me another one of them balogna sandwitches!'

there are so many more though.

When she catches Doo messing around
"Woman if you wanna keep that arm you better get it off my husband"

And though i can't remember it all the bit in the film where they are arguing over where the bedroom should be.

Also towards the beginning when Doo is talking to a girl, Loretta says, "Hey, Doolittle Lynne, who's that sow wallerin' in your car?" and go after her with a stick! :-)

It's one o'clock in the morning; What the hell do you want?

When Loretta's nerves get the best of her at her first gig, and Doo runs into the restrom after her. He calls her a "stupid hillbilly," and she comes back with: "I might be ignorant, but I ain't stupid." (or the other way around?)

A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I love when after Doo kicks her out and she goes back home, her dad says, "I believe married life's making you fat!" And her mother just stops and says "Oh no!"

Also, when she's at the train station and her father has her weigh herself, she wails "A hundred and sevenTEEN?!?! Boy, this baby's gonna be a big one, ain't it?"

And when they decide to get married: "Go ask Clarie"...then "Go ask Ted"...and so on.

The morning after they got married: "I ain't goin' in there, havin' all them people starin' at me, knowin' what we been doin' in here!"

In the car after she finds him with the other woman:

Woman: "Do you know who I am?"
Loretta: "I don't know who you are, but I know WHAT you are!"

And of course, the baloney sandwich line.

As mentioned...

"Stop makin' that noise! You sound like an ol' bear growlin'!"

and this exchange..

Doolittle: Mr. Webb, me and Loretta are fixin' to get married, if it's alright with you.
Ted Webb: Go ask Clary.
[Doolittle walks through the house to the kitchen]
Doolittle: Mrs. Webb, me and Loretta is thinkin' about gettin' married tomorrow.
Clara Webb: Go ask Ted.
[Doolittle walks back onto the porch, then back into the house]
Loretta Webb: Doolittle, what are you doin'?
Doolittle: Ted says go ask Clary; Clary says go ask Ted; I don't know.
Loretta Webb: Wait 'til they go to bed; then you can catch them together. 'Less they'll keep you runnin' back and forth all night long.

When Doo learns she's pregnant and says, " Darlin' I think we found somethin' you're good at!"

[–] jdwebb2691 16 years ago

The bologna is always my favorite, but I also love:

"Doo, are you leavin?"

"Naw, *I* ain't leavin!" and then he throws her out

And it's not really a favorite quote, but I love near the beginning (when Loretta's dad gives out the shoes and she also gets a dress) when one of her brothers says "How come she gets something extry?"....just the way he says it cracks me up.

It's a good thing you weren't working with him, because you'd be laying dead beside him. Of course, if ya had been working with him, at least you'd have been working somewhere.
