Underrated lines

"You already put a dent in my fackin' piano."

ROFL, one of the most underrated lines in the whole movie. And the way he says piano, it's like he says it "pianah", and he's so pissed over it, it's so random and funny.

"Heavy? What I wouldn't give to know heavy, you insensitive prick. Yeah, yeah, whatever, I'm going down the street for a cup o' coffee."

Also, that strange look Ted gives the hitchhiker, while he's explaining the 7 Minute Abs and the songs, Ted gives him this hilarious "WTF" look really quickly. Oh, and "I'm only waitin' 7 minutes! Your seats are making me itchy, man! What are they, made outta cactus?"

And finally, the therapist in the beginning of the movie who skimps out on half of Ted's...story, or whatever, and sneaks back in the office near the end of it, then he throws out "You know, rest stops are the bath houses of the 1990s, for many, many gay men. Anyway, we'll delve further into that next week....haha."

"He's just a dentist Kramer.
Yeah? And you're an anti-dentite!"
-Seinfeld

"Uh, when you're looking at architecture, try to visualize the buildings as a whole, you know? Uh, try to see them in their natural state, in their totalitarian... ism, so to speak."

and

"you had your window"
"I had my window"?

when healy drives away telling him that he got late in getting back to him to get in touch with mary and in between she went to japan as mail order bride..

I especially love the first time Ted meets Mary's stepdad Charlie:

Charlie: Who the hell are you?
Ted: *puzzled, looking at the house number, then back to Charlie*

Keith David's reaction to that is so... *WTF*!

This dialogue between Ted and Pat Healy that goes more or less like this (when ted catches Pat Healy moving out of his office)

"She is a mail bride. She is going to Japan"

"Why are they so desperate? She is whale!"

"This is summo, they pay by the pound, like tuna"

Well said Mark. The dude is laying on the couch reading from the paper and the dog just grabs the paper away from him and the dude's all whispering to the dog, "Nonononono!" Then: "Um, that's uh, that's bull$hit man." Then goes on to talk about being in the third world country, dealing with STD's. OMG I laughed so hard during this movie.

"Here's to all that gorgeous snatch in F-L-A."

My favourite is Healy trying to revive the dog:

"STAY AWAY FROM THE LIGHT!" hilarious!

To me, Matt Dillon is the best part of the movie. Almost all his lines are hysterically funny. Most people seem to remember his lines at the driving range when he's first trying to impress Mary, but I could never pick just one of his lines. Some of his best come from his conversations with Ted just after finding Mary, imo.

"She's a dental hygienist. She'll know what to do"

One line that always gets me, I don't know why, is when Ted is getting beaten up by Warren before the prom and while he's getting he's ass kicked and breaking furniture with his back, Keith David shouts out "Hey man! This is my house here!". ROFL!!!!

The whole convo when Mary and Healy bump into Tucker for the first time is hilarious, especially when Tucker starts grilling Healy on his architecture credentials, and where he studied.

I love all the little things in this movie. Yeah there were some gross-out moments I don't care for, but the little stuff and funny lines made it worth it.
Some "underrated" lines I like in particular are:

"The neighbors said they heard a lady's scream"

"I couldn't believe that she knew my name. Some of my best friends didn't know my name."

"You can't forget, it's a sumo culture, Ted. They pay by the pound over there. Sorta like, um, tuna. "

"Fatty who likes golf and beer. Gee, Mary, where are you gonna find a gem like that? "

"Is that what you want Mary, a Farter?"

"what you think your *beep* does'nt stink?"

"i'm in town to play the dolphins ya dumbass."

I always crack up when Warren is kicking the crap out of him in the beginning ... and Mary's all "Warren, are you okay?!?"

Then, later, the one cop asks the other cop "...You okay, man?" as he is slamming Ted's head into the table. Hilarious.

As much as I didn't care for the unnecessary vulgar stuff in this movie ... I love the many subtle jokes that take a few times to notice. Great stuff.

Tengo el presentimiento de que empieza la accion...
