My New Favorite Quote

A teacher as she dismisses her class:
And please take your leftover lunches with you. My husband is tired of me coming home smelling like salami.
--From Stuart Little 2, which I have seen way too much of in the past five days since Zane’s been sick

What are some of your favorite movie quotes?

Prairie Home Companion? Hmmm...I didn't know that anyone went to see that movie, but it's a great quote.

Is it strange that the only salty fisherman I can bring to mind is a Simpson's character? That show has truly entered my consciousness.

srh-
I always get "weird science" and "real genius" confused. Which one did they make the perfect computer girl in? Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Were you a big fan of the brat pack? I might have picked that - or I might not have. You always surprise me.

Hope you're feeling better.

Can I borrow your underpants for 10 minutes?

--Sixteen Candeles

Then I have to add quotes from my 2 favorite movies

We figured there was too much happiness here for just the two of us, so we figured the next logical step was to have us a critter.
--Raising Arizona

Almost every line of Princess Bride makes for a great quote...We always tell Jama to Have fun Stormin' da castle....and she tells us...Have fun stormin' IN the castle. I think they'd have two very different meantings.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

And thanks for Urban Cowboy reference - who can get enough of the tagline "Hard hat days and honkey tonk nights"? Brilliant.

Raising Arizona is one of our all-time favorites - so many good lines in that one. Plus the car chase scene that is just cinematic genius.

My favorite Princess Bride line:
No more rhymes now, I mean it.
Anybody want a peanut?

Anybody want a peanut? My college friends and I used to say that at random moments. That and "Heed. Pants. Now." from Mike Myers greatest movie "So I Married an Ax Murderer."

My first comment on your page was, "My legs are sweatin', mama." I win the worst first comment contest.

My favorite line from So I Married... - He'll be crying himself to sleep on his big, fat pillow tonight. Great flick, that.
