I like his speech to the rental car clerk as well.

Belushi’s speech in Animal House is pretty great as well.  
In Patton I prefer his speech about the Carthaginians and his ‘apology speech’ to the opening speech.

I also like his little pep talk during the race to Bastogne. “…And if we are not victorious, _let no one come back alive!_” George C. Scott was so great at eye-bulging fury.
