I know he can get the job, but can he do the job?

I'm pretty sure I quote this movie more than any other. Okay, well, except "The Jerk", "The Princess Bride", "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", "Spinal Tap", "Best in Show", "Waiting For Guffman", "A mighty Wind", and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
But those don't count.

Anyway, some of my favorite quotes are:
-The entire "I'm not arguing that with you!" scene
-"It's a great town. IT STINKS, but it's a great town."
-The entire "Felix" scene
-"You got clothes?" "I've got what i'm wearing." "So you've got no clothes."

Some of your favorites?

id have to say my favorite line is when he is buying luggage, and when joe says "ill take 4 of them" and the guy goes "may you live to be a thousand years old sir". that has me rolling on the floor laughing everytime.

I say "I have no response to that" a lot.

I also use "You're up in the high country" on occasion.

Joe: "I feel like I'm gettin' married."

Driver: "I feel like I'm giving you away."

"Looks like we're in for a blow."

"You're starting to come into focus, kid."

"I haven't got time to tell you who you are. It took me all my life to figure out who I am."

"You didn't get a second opinion about something called a brain cloud?"

"I'm a flibbertigibbet." (with the conspiratorial hand gesture)

"This is one of those typical conversations where we're all open and sharing our innermost thoughts and it's all bull$#it and a lie and it doesn't cost you anything!" Angelica talking with Joe in the car, love the emotion in that.
