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

Gavin: "That is Geldof at his best."

Smithy: "And don't forget Midgure."

Gavin: "Do you mean Midge Ure?
It's not one word."

Smithy: "I thought it was Midgure...like midgure cheddar."

Gavin and Stacey, Christmas Special.

Loves it, I do.

@SenecaFallsRedux

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.

And when Ouiser gives Drum the ass end of the Armadillo cake he says "Thanks Ouiser nothing like a good piece of ass".

Let's face it practically every line in that film is emminently quotable.
