Best line in a movie ever!

This is probably the best line that I have ever heard in a movie. It was said by "Stud" Cantrell, and its about man and woman.

Here is the Line: "God made man, made him out string. What he had left, he put a little thing. God made woman, made her out of lace. He used it all up, and left a little space. Thank you god."

I still say this quote to this day and I feel that it will never get old. I love this movie and the lines that are saind throughout the movie.

Maybe someday we will get a remake of it so people of our generation can get the same laughs from a great baseball movie.

I quote Cantrell's First and Second Rules:

Cantrell's First Rule: *beep* 'em if they can't take a joke.

Cantrell's Second Rule: You're the A**hole that you have to look at in the mirror.

Two rules to live by.

I believe there was another rule- don't rightly remember the numeration of it- that was as blunt and rude as it was true; "All girls *beep* My friends in the warehouse and I (back in the day), marvelled over the wisdom in that terse truism for many moons after...

Dammit, HBO, get this classic onto DVD yesterday!

"I never said your sister had orange juice stains on her t!ts, I only said they tasted that way!!!"

[–] slidepiece38 17 years ago

haha...actually the quote is worse...

"I never said your sister had HORSESHOE STAINS on her tits, they just tasted that way!"

[–] kendu69 17 years ago

Thanks, still funny no matter what you put in its place.

Don't know it exactly but I'll always remember

"How do you know when a girl wants to sleep with you?"
"I usually figure it out when their hand is down my pants!"

"We finally got a good hitter and these a$$holes want to hang him."
"Just let them hang Whiz. He's only batting .179."

Stud: "What do you want Brown, white meat or dark?"
Brown: "Don't matter. I east some of both."

Brown: "No comprende. Por favor. What?"

Weeks: "Whiz, you'll play first base."
Player: "Come on, Jamey, it's a big game. Whiz couldn't catch a cold."

Stud: "The thing of it is, I never touched Hoolihan's sister. Well, who'd want to. 'Course I told him I had her fourteen times."

Stud to Dixie: "Twenty dollars?! And on top of that you want me to pay for the room, too. Hey look lady, I might be crazy but I ain't stupid."

Dixie: "That's the last time I screw anybody on a bus."

I can't believe you called something the greatest quote, and then proceeded to misquote it.

it is:

"When God made man, he made him out of string. He had a little left, so he made that little thing. When God made woman, he made her out of lace. He didn't have enough, so he left that little space."

As for the "Horseshoe stains",

lol, really?

he said Orange Juice there, ol' compadre.

One of my most memorable lines was at the end when they were describing the wedding and said "and the groom was handsomer than $hit"

[–] wmousie 12 years ago

"As for the wedding party's ensemble: Miss Wrenn was lovely in white lace, Miss Boxx was stunning in white satin, the grooms were handsomer than sh*t in white flannel."

What a fitting exit line for a truly great movie!
