There's so many funny lines. I love almost everything Wilma says. I like that one also that I don't see mentioned here about Wilma taking that one woman shopping for better clothes or something. I think she says something about showing her the best stores. That is so funny.

Leslie Nielsen had many of the best lines:


* "I love the ocean -- except when the tide is out, then it has kind of a rotten smell."

* "Is that camp or kitsch, Harry?"

* "The maiden fair is waiting for her knight in shining corduroy!"

* "What? The burial mound of my lady fair? Could be...."

* "Notice how the water creeps in. Even when the tide's out, the water creeps in."

* "Good boy, Harry. Good boy."

* "I always keep my promises. And I do have the gun, don't I?"

* "Yell all you want, Harry! Comfort Point is very private -- I own it all! HEEELLLLP! Nobody's gonna hear you, Harry. Nobody's gonna hear anything...."

* "You know, Harry, I could really cover you all the way up, couldn't I? I could make Harry all gone!"

* "Found a friend, Harry! He's just getting revenge for all of his relatives that you ate, baked and stuffed...."

* "I've got something here that will help take your mind of it. IIIT'S SHOOOOOWTIIIME! Now just take a look at the quality of that picture -- I love these things!"

* "She can't hear you. I'm sorry. She lost a coin toss, I had to bury her further down the beach."

* "If you just take a look at the VCR back there... Oh, I'm sorry, you can't turn your head. Let me assure you, Harry, the VCR is not on play, it's on record. I'm going to save this stuff. The two of you are part of my home movies."

* "Now you got a chance, Harry. If you don't lose your head. Now it looks like she's losing hers, doesn't it? Feel how hard your heart is beating, Harry? How fast? Now that's gonna make it harder for you to hold your breath, isn't it? Ah, the tide... coming in. It's getting late, Harry. I guess I'll have to trot along. You enjoy the show... at least until the monitor shorts out."

* "You gotta hold your breath, Harry. You gotta hold your breath."

* "The undertow carried them away... saved me the trouble. No need to get jumpy. They're all gone. Blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub...."

* "Is that you, Wentworth? Let me remind you, dear boy, I have the gun! I suggest you get out of here -- or I'll shoot ya!"

* "I can hold my breath for a LOOOOONG TIME! AH! HA! HA! HA! HA!"

Nicely done. That story's my favourite.

"There's a chance you can get out of this, Harry. The tide might even set you free. It depends on how long you keep your cool, how long you hold your breath, you see, Harry? The water's so cold, so salty. You're underneath and holding your breath and you're waiting for that wave that's coming and to go on back out, so you can snatch a quick breath...*inhales*...before the next wave comes in."

reply

"I can hold my breath for a loooooong time."

"It's showtime."

"The maiden fair waits for her knight in shining corduroy."

After the crab walks by Harry Richard says "He's just getting revenge for all of his relatives you ate, baked, and stuffed."

Those are the classics. Anything Leslie Nielsen said or did in that movie is awesome. Like every other movie he's been in, he stole that one, too.

Nielsen rocks.

I also love when Wilma says "What indeed Henry, what indeed! Ehehehehahaa!"

This line is very Stephen King:

MRS. CASTONMEYER: How many men have you murdered?!
UPSON PRATT: Only the stupid ones. Only the ones who handed me a knife and stretched out their throats. Only the ones who, if you'll pardon the expression, *beep* up.

My favorites are from "Father's Day"...all the other good ones have been listed on here several times already. Lol
"It was good riddance to some extremely bad rubbish"
"Oh...You mean Cass hasn't told you about Dotty old Aunt Bedelia ? The Patriarch of our clan."
"You Bootlegger ! Killer ! Murderer !!!"
"So I fixed it all !!! Ash tray back in place...chair overturned...Whoooo...BAAAAAD fall Daddy, bad fall."
