This is one of my favourites. I love Mad Men and thought this summed up Don.

I always think of this exchange from Dinnerladies, the wonderful Anne Reid:

Jean: Last big wedding Keith's auntie ate a coaster.
Dolly: What?
Jean: Keith's Auntie Margo ate a raffia drinks coaster. She thought it was a high-fibre biscuit. [pause] She had to be held back from moving down the table and buttering two more.

This is a great thread. I’m trying to think of some more lines I like.

Avengers infinity War
Dr Strange: who is your master
StarLord: what am I supposed to say? Jesus?

Captain America in End Game: Avengers....assemble

Most of what Michael Scott says in the office but one of my favourites is
I wouldn’t say I’m superstitious but I am a little stitious

"Isn't it your job to talk him out of stupid fucking ideas like this?"

I don't know if it's my favourite ever but it's the one that came to mind when I saw the thread title.

'If I saw you every day forever, Will, I would remember this time' from Hannibal, just a strangely touching, heartfelt line in such a dark and gruesome show!

'I carry them with me, what they would have said and thought and done. Make them a part of who I am. So even though they're gone from the world, they're never gone from me' Jodie Whittaker's Doctor talking about lost family members. It brought a tear to my eye!

CaptainCorellisPangolin · 08/07/2020 12:14

From Frasier:

Niles: (About Maris) There was a twinkle in her eye I haven't seen since the neighbor kids discovered our new electric fence.

And

Frasier: What do you do when the romance has gone from a relationship?
Roz: I get dressed and go home.

If you're going to let one stupid prick ruin your life....you're not the girl I thought you were.

Lots from Life of Brian.

But "Romans go home" is an order!

(Just after Brian has written "Romans go home" 100 times)
Right. Now don't do it again!

The haggling scene.
All right, I'll give you eleven.
(quietly) Now you're getting it. (loudly) Eleven?! Did I hear you right, eleven, this cost me twelve!"

Pontius Pilate:
No no, I want him fighting wabid wild animals within a week.
Do you find it... wisible (risible) when I say the name Biggus…….. Dickus???

In Love Actually, the scene where Rowan Atkinson is going to great lengths to gift-wrap a necklace bought by Alan Rickman. That whole scene is brilliant, but especially the line

"Are you going to dip it in yogurt? Or cover it with chocolate buttons?"

Aunt Fern in Steel Magnolias: "No, I can do anything. Except snakes. I don't have the counter space."

When asked by Ouiser about the Armadillo groom's cake. I don't know why, but that whole scene and that line just crack me up every time.
