"Come here, Mommy wants to talk to you... AND THEN KILL YOU!"

"Mom said if I quit she'd look up my dad and marry him!"

but hands down, best quote:
"I got some!!!"

and sooooo many more...

"Life's hard, that's why I love sleeping. It's like temporary suicide, but you wake up refreshed."

this is said a couple of times in the movie and it just cracks me up when they say it! It was said by loretta while she was getting her hair done and it was said by the retard when the brother was being interviewed in front of the hardware store.

loretta: "Oh are we on cops again??"

retard: "Harold, are we on cops again??"

Then I love it when annette is getting drove away in the ambulance after the fire and Amber says: "I'll be right behind you in the hurse" then Loretta says "Don't let that worry you Annette!"

This movie is the best, it is such a genously written black comedy!!

I love that too: "..on Cops again" giving you some idea of what goes on in this town! And sure enough, the Cops film crew turns up during the ill-fated parade.

Flat, drab passion meanders across the screen!

I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but I like the mayor's quote at the beginning.

Mayor: Oh, yeah, sure. Freda, sure. She was the oldest living Lutheran. Now she's dead as a doornail. It's the damn Shriners who won't take down the g@ddamn sign, the lazy sons of bitches. Every year--every damn year, I tell 'em, "Take down the g@ddamn Freda sign you lazy sons of bitches."

"I'm quitting the pageant."
"You're WHAT???"
"I'm quitting the-"
"I heard you, I was just trying to scare you into changing your mind!"

"So, do you do any of the embalming?"
"What?! Oh my God, no! I just do the hair and make-up on the deceased."

"The next person who comes in here without a pack of Luckies dies! SHE DIES!"
"You have a super day too!"

And it's not technically a quote, but I love when Gladys introduces Amber at the pageant and just walks away from the microphone in the middle of saying her name because she couldn't care less.

I'd ask you to play House, but you'd be a weird example for our kids.

"Soylent green is PEOPLE!"

all the beauty queens puking all over:
"call an ambulance!" ... "call an ambulance? call a priest for Christ sake"

"she's skinny Amber, not deaf"

"who are you? who are you? oh Mary you kill me"

"the tards pants are completely off"

"I own my life to that deaf baby"

"she had a big fat ass then , she's got a big fat ass now"

"Atomic Power make me proud to be an asian/american"

"To live in a country where you can take an ugly mountain and put faces on it"

"I hate her I hate her" , "yes I know, we all do"

"oh not so hard sweetheart I heard something snap"

and on a side note, this is the supporting role that should have got an Oscar for
Amy Adams, brilliant!

Kirstie's over the top delivery of "The swan ate my baby!..." is my personal fave. I always LOL at that scene.
