Anyone have a favourite quote?


I especially liked the bit where Carol wandered into the kitchen to have a quiet word with Vera about dinner.

Carol - Why don't you do me a baked potato, steam me a few carrots and grill me a piece of chicken without the skin?
Vera - Why don't you go down to the shops, buy whatever you want and cook it yourself?

What a great put-down.

The eyes are open, the mouth moves, but Mr. Brain has long since departed, hasn't he, Perce?

Carol [regarding Brian's marital status]: I don't know you very well Sara. You're very pretty; I'm sure you do MARVELOUS things to his d1ck. But he will never leave his wife and kids.

reply

Andrew: What the *beep* have you got in here, weights?!
Carol: Yes!

Andrew: I am an absolute, dribbling *beep* I'm sorry everybody... I'M SORRY PETER!!!

reply

Carol [after dealing with a clueless "fan" at the baggage carousel]: Andrew, you know what I hate most about being a public figure?
Andrew: What?
Carol: The public.


CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!

reply

Carol: Do you have any Equal?
Peter: I'm sorry, I'm famous for having no equal.

This is one of my all-time favorite films and I watch it every year at Christmas time! I have shared it with several of my friends and they all loved it and (sadly) had never even heard of it before.

Here's some for you;

After their performance NYE 1982:

Peter: I for one will be expecting dozens of calls saying 'I know I looked bored (beep)less, but after calm reflection, Roger was right, I rather enjoyed it."

Andrew and Carol at the airport:
Andrew: What the (bleep) do you have in here, weights?
Carol: Yes.

Andrew: The Underground Song, who wrote that piece of (bleep)?
Roger: Guilty
Andrew: I loved that song

Anything Brian (Tony Slattery) said, including that Garbo story he told.

Peter (to Maggie after her makeover): But Ms Perkins, you look beautiful.

When Sarah busts Maggie and Paul in the act was hillarious.

Everyone in the kitchen thinks Sarah and Brian are getting it on, untill Sarah turns up at the Window:
Sarah: Hey
Peter: Now that's what I call an extremelly long dick.

Peter: Do you have wood in California Andrew?
Andrew; We have Hollywood.

"Is this real?"
"No, it's imaginery."

It's a really lame line, but it's still funny.

And when they just got finished singing 'The Way You Look Tonight', and that guy says, "Now do the coffee jingle."



reply

When reminiscing about the 1981 review, Kenneth Brannagh remarks "We went down about as well as a turd souffle"

Absolute genius.

"Fill me with your little babies"

reply

Brian: Now do the coffee jingle.

reply

'Be a blesspoppet' is one that's not been mentioned. I must admit I've been known to use that myself on occasions!!

And the conversation about houses that goes something like 'It was just like this but brand new! My point exactly!'


Juxtaposition? You can't handle the juxtaposition!

reply

I loved most the dialogue, when Maggie tells Andrew about this guy she was seeing, who commited suicide - "and not even this he could do properly" - just great.
And, of course, this:
Fill me with your little babies!

I love this film <33

reply

"It's like kindergarten, school, university - black hole."

I love it. I'm at point 3, actually.


The very first lines:

"There are some friends you'll have for the rest of your life.
You're welded together by love, trust, respect, or loss.
Or in our case, simple embarrassment."


The best part is that story by Maggie about the author she once dated...

reply

Peter's speech during the dinner about the most daring thing being to jump into your neighbour's garden.

reply

When they're telling old stories and they mention about Peter being hit with an audience member's glass and Roger mimicks Peter "If that happens again, we are going STRAIGHT HOME!" and everyone pretends to throw glasses at Peter.

Or when they're trying to figure out what all the noise is from upstairs and they figure it must be Sarah and Brian and then she comes to the window and Adnrew says "Oh, now that is one long ****!"

And Maggie's greeting to Peter: "Peter! Peter! Peter! Peter! Peter! Peter! Peter! Peter! Peter! Peter! Peter! Peter!"

"Mags, I would like to get in the house at some time!"

The glass isn't 1/2 full or empty, but simply fulfilling it's purpose.

reply

"Is it real?"
"No, it's imaginary.."

reply

Sarah: We can't all have our lives figured out as well as you do.

Andrew: I didn't say that, I said I had your life figured out, love.

Also, I do calligraphy and was rather poor last year. So, to cover Xmas for my friends, I went to the dollar store and bought a ton of cheap picture frames. I dug through every picture I had of all my friends to find the most embarassing picture I could find of them and me together. I either cropped them to make them smaller, or made sure they were already slightly smaller than the frame. Then I cut out a piece of paper to make an inner-frame and calligraphied :

There are some friends you will have for the rest of your life. You're welded together by love, trust, respect, or loss. Or, in our case, simple EMBARASSMENT.


Extraordinarily big hit. Everyone loved it. Well, most loved the gift, if not the picture (one of my friends even got a picture from 5th grade Halloween when she had a perm!)


You can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need...

'You think you're in trouble? I just tried to *beep* a six year-old.'
