My favorite, without a doubt is Bruce Robinson's 'Withnail & I'...not sure if many of our trans-Atlantic bretheren have seen this, but the script is literally quotable from beginning to end. Every sentence is a zinger
For example...
"My thumbs have gone weird! I'm in the middle of a fucking holocaust!"
"How DARE you!"
"Exactly...what happened to my Cigar commercial? What happened to my agent? Bastard must have died,"
"As a youth I used to weep in butchers shops,"
"We want the finest wines avalible to humanity, we want them here and we want them now,"
"Alright, I'll give him a call, what's his number?"
"I don't know I never met him,"
"Well, neither have I, what the fuck are you talking about?"
"Monty you terrible cunt!"
"GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN!!"
"We've gone on holiday by mistake"
"I'm in a park and I'm practically dead'
"Don't threaten me with a dead fish"
"I must have some booze. I demand to have some booze!"
"2 pound ten a tit, and a fiver for his arse"
"This doll has voodoo properties"
"Street name - the EMBALMER!"
"The sky is beginning to bruise and we shall be forced to camp!"
"I want somthings flesh!!"
"We are multimillionaires, we will buy this place and fire you all!"
"Liar,.... you've got anti-freeze!!!"
"'I fuck arses.' Who fucks arses? Maybe he fucks arses...!! "
"Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day .."
"I've been watching you. Especially you, prancin like a tit. You need working on boy! "
"Boy, ...boy... I know your not asleep, boy."
"PONCE!!!"
"I feel like a pig shat in my head!!"
"I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees."
"If I medicined you you'd think a brain tumour was a birthday present."
"Scrubbers!"
-"Up yours grandad!"
"Nonsense, this is a far superior drink to meths, the wankers don't drink it because they can't afford it... "
"We'll get in their and get wrecked. Then we'll eat a pork pie. Then we'll go home and drop a couple of surmontil 50s. That way we'll miss out monday but come up smiling on tuesday"
"So you are thespian, too?"
"Speed is like a dozen transatlantic flights without ever getting off the plane. Time change. You lose, you gain. It makes no difference so long as you keep taking the pills. But sooner or later you've got to get out because it's crashing. And all at once those frozen hours melt though the nervous system and seep out the pours." (Ok that's not really just one line).
"I hope tobacco sales plummet."
"If I medicined you, you think a brain tumour was a birthday present!"
"Balls, I'll swallow it and run a mile!"
"You can stuff it up arse for nothing and fuck off while you're doing it!"
"If I spike you you'll know you've been spoken to."
"I have a heart condition. I have a heart condition, if you hit me it's murder."
"I'LL MURDER THE PAIR OF YOUS!"
(feeble whimpering voice)"My wife is having a baby."
"Listen I don't know what my frien... aquaintence did to upset you but it's nothing to do with me. I suggest you both go outside and discuss it sensibly... in the street. AAAAHHHHH!"
"Look at that. Look at that! Accident black spot? These aren't accidents, they're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!"
"If I see that silage heap hanging about up here I'll take the bastard axe to him! BASTARDS!"
"The greatest decade in the history of mandkind is coming to an end. And as Presuming Ed has so consistently pointed out: we Have failed to Paint it black"
"Old suit. How dare you. Just because the best tailoring you've ever seen is above your fucking appendix"
"You're looking very gorgeous man. Have you been away?"
" I'm not having this shag sack insulting me; let him get his drugs out"
"I'll say one thing for Monty. He keeps a sensational cellar"
"15 million Londeners have to wake up to this and murder and all-bran and rape. And I'm stuck in this bloody shack and i can't even cope with Withnail. I must be losing my mind. I must go home and discuss his problems in depth"
"You've got soup. Why didn't i get any soup?"
-"Its coffee"
-"Why don't you use a cup like any other human being"
-"Why don't you wash up occasionally like any other human being"
-"How dare you. How dare you. How dare you call ME inhumane. Right you fuucker. I'm going to do the washing up"
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!"
-"I told you. You've been bitten"
-"Burnt!! Burnt!! The fucking kettles on fire"
"Here Hare Here"
-"Offer yourself to him"
"What absolute twaddle"
"Look at him. Look at Jeff Wode. His head must weigh fifty pounds on its own. Imagine the size of his balls. Imagine getting into a fight with the fucker"
-"Please I don't feel well"
-"Thats what you'd say, but that wouldn't wash with Jeff....No... 'I'm going to rip your head off', 'No please don't rip my head off', 'I'm going to rip your head off because I don't like your head"
"I often wonder where Norman is now. Probably wintering in Guildford with his mother"
"Here's a man with half and inch of brain who'd taken a dislike to me"
"Balls to Monty?"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING PROWLING AROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING NIGHT?!"
"We mean no harm!"
