For some reason I’ve found myself uttering the following at inopportune moments, for no reason at all:
“The pearl is in the river …”
I give props to the ones who know where it’s from.
It’s from Under the Rainbow.
“When will you be able to land this plane?”
“I can’t tell”
“You can tell me, I’m a doctor”
“No, I mean I’m just not sure”
“Well can’t you take a guess?”
“…Not for another three hours”
“You can’t take a guess for another three hours?”
Sneed’s Feed and Seed (Formerly Chuck’s)
I’m whooshed…
If it’s Sneed’s Feed and Seed, what was it when it was Chuck’s?
Wonderful! Thanks. I had missed the point, too.
Makes me think of the one where they had the combination business:
Jeff’s Funeral Parlor and Bait Shop.
:smack:
Merci beaucoup.

“Oooh, they have the Internet on computers now!”
One from Firefly:
“She’s a witch?”
“Yes, Jayne. She has had Congress with the Beast!”
dubiously “… She’s in Congress?”
“How… did you even learn to speak?”
One from a book, as a bonus add-on to this post:
“Oops.” (Ashes of Victory by David Weber)
There are many from Arrested Development that I’d like to list, but a lot seem to depend on context and delivery. Here’s one from the very first episode that started me rapidly toward being a fan:
Buster: Actually, I’m studying cartography now - the mapping of uncharted territories.
Michael: Hasn’t everything already sort of been discovered, though, by, like Magellan, Cortez… NASA?
Buster: Oh, yeah, yeah… Those guys did a pretty good job… But there’s still…
Lucille: (appearing between her sons) It never hurts to double-check.
bwa-ha-ha, I need to go home and watch that again now.
Also, from Oh Brother Where Art Thou:
“I’m votin’ for yers truly!”
“I’m votin’ for yers truly too!”
“Well… I’m with you fellers.”
Mine is also from Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
“I ain’t here to make a record, ya dumb cracker!”
hee hee
From Life of Brian:
Brian: You’re all different!
Crowd: Yes, we’re all different!
Some guy in the crowd: I’m not.
Thirding Mr. Palmer in Sense and Sensibility - “Try.” Also Alan Rickman is great in that: “No doubt - no doubt, Mrs. Jennings has informed you . . .”
That lathe line from Galaxy Quest slays me every time. Whenever Dark Phoenix and I feel someone has made a ridiculously impossible request, we quote that.
Another from O Brother: “Well, ain’t this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!”
So many lines from Futurama make me laugh every time. At the moment all I can think of is, “Aw, he looks like an insane drunken angel!”
It’s probably already in the thread, but it’s worth repeating:
“Surely you can’t be serious.”
“I am serious.” (beat) “And don’t call me Shirley.”
Little Witches (which is awful, but…)
“Do you have an sins of a non-dietary nature you’d like to confess?”
Brothers & Sisters
“Mom! You don’t need to drive me crazy - I can walk from here.”
‘‘Do I look like a reasonable man, or a peppermint nighmare?’’
‘‘The first one?’’
‘‘WRONG!’’
Blackadder II, when Edmond is looking for the Wise Woman and the young crone he questions about her gives silly answers. When he makes an intuitive guess and the crone asks how he knew something he says (paraphrasing) “Oh, it was just a stab in the dark, which incidentally is what you’ll be getting if you don’t start being a bit more helpful.”
Announcing your plans is a good way to hear God laugh.

"You have to pay royalties to the owners of “Happy Birthday”
“Happy Birthday is copyrighted”
"Do you think that song just…happened?
“Well…yeah”
“Hey Spongebob…are they laughing at us?”
“No, Patrick…they’re laughing next to us”
