Outside the diner P.M.: They want my to coler my hair blond. H.B.: With you colering?
P.M.: What was Barbra Steisand's eight album? H.B.: Color Me Barbra P.M.: Stud H.B.: Everybody knows that? P.M.: Everybody where, the little gay bar on the prarie?
Oi. Everything between opening and closing credits. And some of the stuff on either side...
Emily : Was there oh, ANY OTHER TIME YOU MIGHT OF TOLD ME THIS? I'm wearing a wedding dress, WHICH YOU PICKED OUT! (Go Joan!!!!)
Voice on Tape : Excuse me, are we a little teapot? (How does it know??? It boggles the mind, it does O.o)
Emily : Does anybody here know how many times I had to watch Funny Lady?
Oh, and for the record: I beg you, NEVER tell a gay man how annoying Barbara Streisand is. I told my english teacher, and he nearly failed me on the spot :)
Of course it goes without saying that Joan Cusack quotes arent near as much fun on print as hearing her voice and seeing her facial expressions. She is a goddess! One of the finest character actors of the 90's to present.
Thanks you guys! There are some great comments and Quotes. I also must agree that Joan is a great acress and because I picked this post doesn't mean there isn't some of Joan's(Sixteen Candels, Runaway Bride), Keven's(Soapdish), Matt's(Outsiders),Tom's or Debbie's work that isn't as good or better. Thanks again.
-So, I just said: "Mom, dad, Sparky, I'm gay!" -What happened? -Well, my mom cried, for exactly ten seconds, my boss said "who cares" and my dad said "but you're so tall!"
also the "Little Teapot" line on the tape makes me crack up every time.
Oh, and this isn't a quote, but one of my favorite little moments from the Tape scene: When Howard is dancing, and he takes off his flannel shirt, revealing a black T; at the exact moment the lyrics say "and you see me, somebody new". it's very metaphorical in a sense, don't you think?
Oh my god, geek tragedy. I've watched this movie a dozen times, and the dancing scene a hundred times, and never even noticed the business about the well-timed t-shirt reveal. Thank you, you're very observant.
I wonder how many other meaningful moments we miss because we're too busy enjoying the film?
When Lauren Ambrose is at the graduation ceremony and yells out that she's gay. And the teacher goes, "no she's not...she's a..a.. tramp!" And when all the firemen scream out "Gay!" I always roll over laughing. Everything that Debbie Reynolds does in that movie is funny... "I'm.... I'm a lesbian.""Your mother's an alcoholic", "I need this wedding, its like heroin". I love the part when Sonya says: "I have to wash my hair and throw up" or something to that affect. And everything about Joan Cusack was soooo great. She should have won the oscar. I.E. "This is a medical condition!" hahahaha."Is everybody gay?! Is this the twilight zone?" and then she runs into the street and asks someone to marry her. This movie's screenplay should have won some awards too. The writing is some of the best ever. Oh ya, and when the teacher who calls Lauren Ambrose a tramp is in the teacher's lounge and says. "Howard likes dick!" and the other guy goes "who's dick?"
