There are many memorable quotes from the movie. This is one of my favorites:

Hale: You're falling for him.
Kate: What?
Hale: Doug.
Kate: [sarcastic] Yeah.
Hale: You are. You're falling for him.
Kate: Well, that's crazy.
Hale: You think so?
Kate: You're nuts.
Hale: Am I?
Kate: Well, you see how we act together.
Hale: Yes, I do.
Kate: We never get along. I mean, we're always fighting.
Hale: Foreplay.

[Doug is carrying Kate's flowers and walking her back to her room. The long program is the next day]
Doug: Man, this overnight thing is brutal. Why can't it be a double header, you know? Short program, long program. Same night, boom, we're outta here, you know what I mean?
Kate: Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
Doug: It's like 'Enough already!' It's like... what's the word? Uh, y-you know what word I'm looking for? Wh-You know what I mean?
Kate: [trying to open her door] I don't know, uhhh, expectation?
Doug: No, no, when you, uh...
Kate: Anticipation? Excitement?
Doug: Foreplay!
Kate: [looks up in shock, stunned] Foreplay?
Doug: Yeah, you know, like foreplay.
Kate: Yeah, I know what it means.
Doug: Well, wouldn't you rather just get right to it?
Kate: What?
Doug: Skating. Long program.
[Kate stares, wide-eyed]
Doug: Chicago? Nationals?
[holds up her bouquet]
Doug: Flowers?
Kate: [still stunned, takes her flowers] Sleep. I'd rather sleep.
[She goes into her room, leaving Doug very confused outside]

All that have been mentioned, plus:

Kate: What do you do, shower once a week?
Doug: Is that an invitation?

haha

"Finger painting?"

"You want my hands...where?"

The conversation at the entrance of their hotel room, where Doug talks about how waiting is the hardest part, and equates it foreplay. Kate's reaction is priceless.

I eat things that would make a billy goat puke.

It's been a long time since I last saw this movie, so please forgive if these aren't exactly right.

Some of my favorites:

"There's only two things I do really well, sweetheart, and skating's the other one."

"I'm from Minnesota. That's south of Neanderthal."

"Can we teach it to breathe with its mouth closed?"

The whole "foreplay" scene.

And, of course, "Toepick!"

After Doug throws up before their Olympic trial:

D: Don't worry, in 10 minutes I'll be fine.
K: We are skating right now, and our program is only 2 minutes!!!!!
D: ......... then 8 minutes after we're done I'll be fine.
