Even though I don't know the exact words and what it means , the yeast/spam line and the reaction when Bonnie slaps Brian in the face .

Brian: "I left a can of Spam in the refrigerator. I hope the brewer's yeast doesn't take it personally."
Bonnie: "You BASTARD!" *slap*

Brian is saying he left a can of what Bonnie would consider 'junk food' in the refrigerator next to her 'health food': brewer's yeast.

That scene always makes me laugh, especially Brian's reaction to being slapped and Bonnie's hectic fearful apology.

"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

agreed fiat...that was the best! i loved it when brian finally realized that despite wanting nothing more than to be part of the rich/famous crowd, that it just wasn't for him and that bonnie and all her cohorts were nothing but pretentious snobs.

"He must've thought it was white boy day. It ain't white boy day, is it?"

Doug: You'll thank me for this someday.
Brian: The F*$& I WILL!

Cruise delivers that line perfectly.

"I can feel your anger, it gives you focus, makes you stronger."

I like the quote, but the point is that older women use Brewer's Yeast as a natural remedy to stave off menopause.

The point was not that she was healthy, but that she was an old maid. THAT's what elicited her strong reaction.

Kerry: "You mean I'm just supposed to be with the same man day in, day out, forever, and not have anybody else in my life?"

Brian "Yes-- it's called marriage."
