I've shamelessly pinched this idea from quoll's suggestion in My Top Three on the Games section.  So what are your favourite one-liners? My absolute fave is from Charles II, on seeing Catherine for the first time with that extraordinary hairstyle: "My God.....they've brought me a bat to marry" Who's next? |

Frank: "My favorite partner is me..... with breasts! The perfect relationship. We would like the same food, we'd like the same music, the sex would be great!"
This is technically more than one line, isn't it? But it's one of my all time favorite Rufus lines, from "Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel, and Laurence."

Mine is from "A Knight's Tale":
"In what world could you have ever beaten me? Such a world does not exist"
The breast line from Martha, etc. is great as well.
Just goes to show you how welll Ru does with mediocre scripts.

"You're at it again! That stuff ya do - big words, poetry!" (A Man of No Importance) "You wanted to know what it was that made us human - well, you're not going to find it in here!" (Dark City) "London girls!! One of 'em told me that I was just absolutely body-thrillin'!" (Cold Comfort Farm) "God made sin that we might know his mercy." (Dangerous Beauty) I have so many of these, gang. I used to collect them for the website. Now isn't that pitiful?  G xo |

"God made sin that we might know his mercy." (Dangerous Beauty) I love this one, too - classic come-to-bed chat-up line for the 16th century!!  |

You guys have already mentioned any that I've thought of! There's no way for me to pick an "all-time-favorite" because each film has lines that I absolutely love!
I will say the ones I THINK of off the top of my head are:
The 'pillar' line from Uncorked
The 'in what world' line from AKT
and
the 'marry a bat' line from Charles II
And I've actually used these lines in real life.........so maybe that's an indication that they are my favorites!!!
But after watching any film of his...........I always have lines that I think are wonderful!

My all-time favorite line is from Middlemarch:
"As if I weren't in danger of forgetting everything else." (When Dorothea asks him to remember her.)
But it's not funny, as I would think a one-liner might be defined. So I would choose from A Man of No Importance:
"I'm going to find out who this Bosie is. He'd better be a bloke."
Going by memory, so forgive me if not verbatim.

"London girls!! One of 'em told me that I was just absolutely body-thrillin'!" (Cold Comfort Farm) LOVE this one. Especially how he pronounces it... Lunnon girls  |

Martha, Meet Frank...
"We hate each other with the kind of commitment you
only get from childhood friends"
Woodlanders
"You can't tell the heart. The heart hopes.
All the more where it's hopeless"
Middlemarch
"I suppose one gets in the habit of doing without happiness
or hope"
Arcadia
"...and yet her chief renown is for a readiness that keeps her in a state of tropical humidity as would grow orchids in her drawers in January"
Taming of the Shrew
"There is something...really very alluring, arousing, about the way
you curl you lips...when you snarl. Talk. Say something"

I love that line from Arcadia. I also love: You demand satisfaction, Mrs. Chater demanded satisfaction yesterday in the Gazebo, I can't be expected to spend all my days giving the Chater family satisfaction...
Or something to that affect. I don't have it with me to look up at the moment.

I remember laughing out loud at that line from Arcadia (the one Maxx wrote of) on the train to Strasbourg and several members of our group wanted to know what I was laughing about! I had my hubby listen to that part and he thought it was pretty funny. Another lady just looked at me and said, "what the heck are you listening to"? When I told her, her response was something like, "why would you LISTEN to play you've not seen"? There was no way I was going to try to explain it to her!

This may not fall under one-liners, but I love the part in The Last King where you see in his face that he's wants to thank Catherine for her kind words after his brothers death, but instead he says "Catherine!...Your English is... very..very good."
I also love the look on his face and the way he delivers "I know where you been!" in A Man of No Importance. So cheeky.

Illuminata - when she asks Dominique why he is always looking out at the audience and he replies: "Uh, well, I'm here, audience is there, they know I'm here, I know they're there, it would be rude not to acknowledge them."

I love that line, I'd forgotten all about it! Thanks for reminding me that it has been too long since I've seen this film.  |
