Mine:
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?
there's more. that movie had me rolling.
Cameron: Eat something, I'm begging you! You look like a swizzle stick.
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so.
My two favourite are:
At Wedding:
Howard: I'm gay
Emily: You're what???
Little girl: (whispering) He's gay
Emily: (Shouting to the girl) I HEARD HIM!!!
And in the intersection:
Howard: This is my Peter, uh!, my "friend" Peter.
We just met at the intersexual...homosection... INTERSECTION!
Me too! Joan Cusack is wonderful. So very funny and yet touching and sweet
too when she confesses that she 'based her whole self-image' on Howard
asking her to marry him instead of being "the girl nobody wanted."
I was laughing, shaking my head, and feeling mistily sentimental at the same time. In short, a wonderful experience to be recommended.
(I can't wait to quote that whole "intersexual, homosection, intersection..."
line, although I can't imagine where it'll fit!)
When Cameron is leaving the motel and Sonya says she can't go because she has to prep for a fashion show and says, "I have to shower and vomit." It's great!
"Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music" -anonymous-

Could someone please post the entire dialogue in the scene when Howard's mother & the old ladies are confessing things they have done. Thanks!
shareI thought Joan Cusack was absolutely priceless when Cameron asked her what happened to her body, and she responded, "Well, I was fat!!!" Just the way she said the word "fat" that nearly put me on the floor. And then, of course, the "intersexual, homosection, intersection" thing.
sharei thought she was hilarious in this movie too. my favourite quotes r:
Mike: "OH OH OH!!!!!"-when he was telling Howard why he thought Cameron said that he was gay.
Jack: "That was last week" - when Meredith was getting Jack to admit that he thought of Howard as his hero.
When Howard throws the remote out the window..just the expression on his face was priceless.
Carl: "why are we talking about Howard?"
Teacher: "Cuz he likes dick Carl!"
Carl: "Dick who?"
Howard: "Intersexual-Homosection-INTERSECTION!"
When Howard is dancing to the tapes
When Emily is in the bar next to Peter and shes asking for peanuts and she says:"Hey thanks". just the way she said it was hilarious.
When Jack stands up infront of everybody and says that hes gay...then Meredith...then Vicky...then when Mike stands up and says: "Alright Im gay. Im a homo. I like Guys!"
and i have lots more but dont want to put it all.
~Im not an alien im discontent~-Shawn Hatosy "The Faculty"
Its so funny
shareMy favorite line is when Howard is listening to the Masculinity tape. The voice says, "Arnold can't dance, he can barely walk!"
shareMy favourite is when the students are discussing the "wedding", and they're teasing Jack about going overnight to the college interview (yeah, but nothing happened!). One of the moms yells down to the kids:
mom: How was the wedding?
Students (in unision): "Fine!"
As pilots we live in the air, but we die by fire...
Ok, anyone ELSE wanna be my co-pilot?
Two entire scenes: the tape one (one of the funniest ever), specially "Think of John Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold doesn't dance, he can hardly walk."; and the graduation, where everybody "comes out the closet".
Howard - Howard Brackett is a big homo, queer, Mary, sissy man! He just came out at his big church wedding! Martha Stewart is furious! There. Is that what you want?
Peter - Yeah.
(Howard punches him)
- My Rice Krispie treats that I made for the reception...they're not my recipe.
It's Harriet Carter's.(...)These are a dead woman's treats.
-(...)I hated "The Bridges of Madison County."
-My husband has three testicles.
-Bob?
-It's disgusting.

No one has mentioned the Oscar Scenes...
<reading for best male performance>
Glenn Close- "Steven Segal for Snowball in Hell"
The scenes from the movie that Cameron is nominated are funhilarious
Wilford Brimly- "That little zombie"
Wolverines
LOL...yeah that "Snowball in Hell" line is very clever when you think about it.
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, nobody else wanted them either.
There are so many great ones. Just about every line (especially anything Joan Cusack says) cracks me up, but here's one part that hasn't been mentioned:
Emily: I've seen all your movies.
Cameron: Both of them?
Just for this moment, as long as you're mine, come be how you want to and see how bright we shine.
One of my favourites...
Howard Brackett: Do I look gay?
Tom Halliwell: Would you walk for me
Soooooooooooooo many great ones....
I loved Joan's "Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me?" to Tom Selleck when he was whining about a hard day he had.
[deleted]
"Biatch Balerina" on the tape makes me laugh out loud for whatever reason!
shareHI... I'm Howard's Stylist... and I'm gay... and I'm Bald!
share"It was a sequel, she was contractually obligated!"
share"my husband has three testicles!!"
and
"repeat after me...yo!
yo!
hot damn!
hot damn!
what a fabulous window treatment!
what a fab...
that was a trick"
or...
"are we a little teapot?"
possibly...
"arnold doesn't dance, he can barely walk!"
"arnold doesn't dance, he can barely walk!"
shareWay too many to mention. Faves are:
"Peter: What was Barbra Streisand's eighth album?
Howard: Color Me Barbra.
Peter: Stud!
Howard: Everybody knows that!
Peter: Everybody where? The little gay bar on the prairie?"
"Cameron: Eat something, I'm begging you! You look like a swizzle stick.
Sonja: Food?"
"Howard Brackett: This is my Peter - uh, my *friend* Peter. We just met at the, uh, intersexual... homosection... INTERSECTION!"
"Voice on Tape: Think of John Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold doesn't dance, he can hardly walk."
"Berniece: I need that wedding. I need some beauty and some music and some placecards before I die. It's like heroin."
"Peter Malloy: One day I just clicked. I said: "Mom, dad, Sparky, I'm gay."
Howard Brackett: So what happened?
Peter Malloy: My mom cried, for exactly 10 seconds, my boss said: "Who cares?", and my dad said: "But you're so tall...!".
"Sonja: I don't have time. I promised to do that photo shot this afternoon. I have to shower and vomit!"
I adore this movie. It always makes me laugh out loud. My favorite scene: Kevin Kline not resisting the dancing -- Diana Ross singing, "I will survive." Absolutely hilarious. All of them dancing at the end to "Macho Man". (watch the little girl dancing her heart out at the "body, wanna feel my body" part of the song) My absolute favorite scene: when Cameron hands Kevin Kline the academy award -- which I just learned is actually Kevin Kline's *real* Oscar, the one he won for A Fish Called Wanda.
Not a quote, but when the woman pushes the dial on the phone hehe.
shareThe entire movie is my favorite but if I have to pick a few scenes I guess:
In the graduation scene after the four teenagers stood up and said they were gay, and Bob Newhart says it's a gonad thing.... a grownup thing. I lose it anytime Bob or Joan are on screen.
After Cameron gives Howard his oscar the orchestra plays People from Funny Girl, I love it.
When Emily and Peter are in the bar and she says I love you. You're nice, will you sleep with me? She was so desperate yet earnest and so funny.
Also, would anyone go to see the movie Cameron won for?
