From Drowning Mona:

Drum: Ouiser, can we call a truce long enough for me to get a piece of cake?
[Ouiser slices him the tail piece of an armadillo cake]
Drum: Aww, thanks Ouiser. Nothin' like a good piece of a$$.

Steel Magnolias

 

[beachmouse]

The sad thing about the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor line is that are a lot of under-25s who just don't get it. So someone will make a perfectly nice use of it on a sports board, someone else replies with 'Forget it, he's rolling. ' and then a person who knows nothing about classic comedies goes off on a rant about people who don't get history.

Robert Duvall's character in Second Hand Lion.

Hub: Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.




Hood 1: Hey, who do you think you are, huh?

Garth: Just a dumb kid, Hub. Don't kill him.

Hub: Right.

[Grabs Hood 1 by the throat]

Hub: I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN and loved only one woman with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!

Steel Magnolias!

All gay men have track lightin'. And all gay men are named Mark, Rick, or Steve.

Side note to this, I've put up track lighting with a man named Steve. :funn:

Truvy: Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marchin' across your face.


and of course:



Shelby: Pink is my signature color.
[Referring to her daughter's many pink wedding decorations]
M'Lynn: That sanctuary looks like it's been hosed down with Pepto-Bismol.


Truvy: What are your colors, Shelby?
Shelby: My colors are "blush" and "bashful."
M'Lynn: Her colors are "pink" and pink."
Shelby: My colors are "blush" and "bashful" Mama!
M'Lynn: How pretentious is this weddin' gonna get, I ask you?



This applies to most bad days in life:

Ouiser Boudreaux: This is it, I've found it, I'm in hell.



Ouiser Boudreaux: The only reason people are nice to me is because I have more money than God.


Ouiser Boudreaux: I'm not as sweet as I used to be.


Ouiser Boudreaux: You are too twisted for color TV!

Clairee Belcher: The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.
