there are so many, but for me it has to be when the flecks are getting ready to drive to the show, and gerry's friend is advising him on great places to stop on the way to philly...
"you can get a ham sandwich at Lee's Comeuppance"...
as in, Gen. Robt. E. Lee, of course...
it's a little hard to pick out, but i was on the floor when i heard that one...
"I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, 'Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts,' and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, 'Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut.' That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, 'Would you stop naming nuts!' And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go 'rrrawr rrawr' and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut..."

Christian Fundamentalists scare me
--Mine changes about every viewing, but when Fred Willard is announcing the miniature group and he says "So what's the deal with these dogs? I mean do they physically miniaturize 'em, are they puppies? I mean what's going on here?"
shareBy far and away the line that absolutely slayed me was "To think that in some parts of the world these dog's are eaten"
Just a perfect counterthought to all the enthusiasm and love the owners show their dogs. It's amazing.
I have to agree with the sentiment that Fred Willard is genius in this movie.
"How do they make them minature? Is there some method or PROCESS they put the dogs through to make them miniature?"
His bit about the judge grabbing the dogs "private" area and going on a date.
Priceless
Parker's facial expressions as shes tearing the room apart looking for the busy bee and then gets the info about the pet store across the street.
"What are you a WIZARD? a GENIUS?"
"This is not a bee, its a bear, in a bee costume"
"Apparently they were unaware that there was a rest room INSIDE the room. It took us 2 weeks to get the smell of Cumin and BBQ out of the drapes."
Him explaining about the Rock band was hysterical.
The Uitility closet bit was fantastic. When he asks about room service..
I could go on and on.

--Insert meaningless quote here--
they are ALL geniuses, especially the pet store clerk. love that guy.
shareHaven't seen it mentioned it, but when Fred Willard's character described Parker Posey's dog as being led out of the arena in shame like Shoeless Joe Jackson, my husband and I fell off our couch laughing. Genius!
shareBest part of the whole movie is that it's ALL impromptu! Listen to the commentary sometimes. It's also why some characters crack up and others are responding to the ACTORS instead of the CHARACTERS, like when Meg Swan says to Hamilton "He's so good!" She broke character and commented on his impromptu abilities!
sharethanks for posting this.....i always wondered if that was why she said "he's so good!"...it seemed out of place for the seen....
shareLeslie and I have an amazing relationship and it's very physical, he still pushes all my buttons. People say 'oh but he's so much older than you' and you know what, I'm the one having to push him away. We have so much in common, we both love soup and snow peas, we love the outdoors, and talking and not talking. We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about.
HAHAHAHAHA.

lol, when Scott says "oh my, rhapsody has two mommies" and he says it so serously.
and anything that Meg says or does is hilarious
i think that parker posey should've had a bigger part in A Mighty Wind, another hilarious movie
"Yes, I remember you said that last year." Such a funny response by the dry commentator to Fred Willard. Also after he asks him if Chinese dogs bark in Chinese & he just looks at him in disbelief. I know it isn't really a line, but that just cracks me up everytime.
The deepest shade of mushroom blue...
So, it's not really a line, but this movie has one of my favorite, very subtle sight gags. Behind the front desk at the hotel there is a row of clocks, with little placards beneath them telling what city's time they represent (you often see this in airports and such, so you can see what time it is in various places around the world). However, in this film, all of the clocks bear the names of cities in the U.S. Eastern time zone, so they are all set to the same time. I know that's not exactly a gut buster, but I still think it's really clever.
shareHamilton Swan:
"You were gone for a half an hour and you came back with THIS PURPLE THING??!?!?"
Meg Swan:
"Don't SPIT at me!"
Exactly, mollyschmolly, I found that the best laugh was when Hamilton and Meg were having a row about the toy Meg bought for their dog. So then she just thrusts it into his chest and he goes "OUCH!!". That was the best.
shareSo this was in the deleted scenes, but Fred Willard is interviewing
the nurse and he says "Say, do you know the difference between a rectal
thermometer and a tongue depresser - she says no - "remind me never
to go to you for a physical!" Cracks me up every time!

Hotel Manager - You have a room with two Queen sized beds
Efeminate Gay man - WHAT are you suggesting, SIR????
Hotel MAnager - Would you like to put that on a credit card?
Effeminate gay man - Talk to Daddy...
Dont know if i messed that up....
FCT
I'm of a mind that makes a mookie.
Not completely messed up, but I think it's really closer to this:
Hotel Manager: I have you for a queen.
Scott: (acting outraged) What are you suggesting, my good man?
Hotel Manager: Would you like to put that on a credit card?
Scott: Talk to Daddy...
I also love that line. The actor who plays Scott just cracks me up. He has excellent lines, and delivers them well.
Yes, I love that scene, and how he strikes a pose against the counter, sizing up the joint.
shareMeg Swan: I didn't ask for your opinion. I asked for a toy that you don't have!!!
shareHotel manager - "yes, lot of dogs staying with us this weekend"
Campy gay guy - "yeah, lot of em down here in the lobby too!"
......or words to that effect

"my mom was there for the unconditional love. Which worked pretty well for my family...until my mom killed herself."
Too much!! I also love the bit where Fred Willard argues with the dog show guy over what the Mayflower is and he keeps confusing it with Columbus' ships and insisting he's right : )
