Bigboote: "The Overthruster is for *beep*
shareGreat thread! But how can you choose between such an abundance of great lines?
I'm pretty sure the line is "Home is where you wear your hat."
Best one: "No matter where you go", of course, but:
I love New Jersey (with his classic Jeff Goldblum style) explaining the Lectroid invasion on Halloween (counting the days!) in Grovers Mill, NJ...
"...then they hypnotized Orson Welles into saying it was an invasion from Mars...but then he says, 'No, it's a hoax'...so maybe it wasn't a hoax--ah, isn't a hoax...?"
And Pinky Carruthers: "Yeah, everyone need see Buckaroo, pal!"
She deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die.
And NO STRIKE TEAMS....
"check the imdb cast list before asking who portrayed who in movies please"
The more times I see it the more I come to love the understated background lines.
Like "Lithium will no longer be available on credit." over the hospital PA system.
All these years and still find something new.

You mustn't judge yourself. That's what the internet is for.
"See this is the point where I didn't know what I was looking at ... so at this point i was like 'That's it, let's get out.'"
"You can check your anatomy all you want to, and you may *have* normal variation but when you get down to it; *this* side of the brain it *all* looks the same. Don't tug on that, you never know what it might be attached to."
Of course later ...
"Hey, hey hey. Don't be mean. No need to be mean. Just remember ... no matter where you go ... there you are."
"REAL SOON!"
Cracks me up.
Please use elevator, stairs stuck between floors.
I have two-
HOSPITAL GUARD: Hello, Doc. Who are we today? Albert Einstein?
DR. LIZARDO: Lord John Whorfin. If there's one thing I hate, it's to be mistaken for-a somebody else.
and...
PERFECT TOMMY: Doctor Lizardo. Wasn't he on TV once?
BUCKAROO BANZAI: You're thinking of Mr. Wizard.
RENO NEVADA: This man's a top scientist, dummkopf.
PERFECT TOMMY: So was Mr. Wizard.
So many great lines...
SOD McKinley: I'll try to be quick. In case you haven't noticed, we have a motorcycle convention moving in and let's face it, you didn't come here to listen to me talk.
Perfect Tommy: You're right.
and...
President Widmark: "Declaration of War... the short form."
and...
Duck Hunter Burt: Gimme some light will ya?
Duck Hunter Bubba: I got two guns in my hands.
Duck Hunter Burt: Put one of them down.
Duck Hunter Bubba: I ain't puttin' the guns down!
and...
John Bigboote: John O'Connor, break the window!
John O'Connor: Why me, John Bigboote?
John Bigboote: It might be booby-trapped!
John O'Connor: Oh.
and... so many more!
