One of my favorite exchanges from My Fair Lady:

Pickering: Do you mean to say you'd sell your own daughter for 50 pounds?! Good God man, have you -no- morals?
Alfie Doolittle: No, can't afford 'em! And neither could you, if you was in my position!

and another one:

Professor Higgins: You'll learn to get a great deal farther with the good Lord if you learn not to offend His ears.

Just heard this one today, James Cagney about Bette Davis in "The Bride Came COD"

"She is undoubtedly the outstanding screwball of her generation."

Don't know if it's my favorite of all time, but a line from my favorite guilty pleasure, Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis, after his car is ruined by the bad(er) guys, goes:

Finn: Did you get that car of yours fixed yet?

Smith: I'm running a little short of cash, I was hoping you maybe might help pay the damages...

Finn: I guess maybe you'll just have to kill me.

Smith: It'll hurt if I do....

Two of my favorites, from a movie I enjoy a great deal...

Theodore Roosevelt: What do I want? I want respect! Respect for human life and respect for American property! And I'm going to send the Atlantic Squadron to Morocco to get that respect.

John Hay: That's illegal.

Theodore Roosevelt: Why spoil the beauty of the thing with legality?

Capt. Jerome, USMC: It seems quite obvious, I would think, sir - we must seize the government and make our own negotiations.

Gummere: [incredulous] Seize the government!?

Capt. Jerome, USMC: At BAYONET point!

Gummere: [snidely; to Dreighton] Well, I certainly would like to see that old son-of-a-bitch at bayonet point, huh?
[chuckles]

Gummere: But it's ridiculous; it's outrageous, it's lunatic!

Adm. Chadwick: Yes, isn't it though? I think Teddy should love it!

Gummere: But, what about the French, the Germans - the British? Why we're in the shadow of Gibraltar!

Adm. Chadwick: [slams his hand on table and stands up] DAMN THE LEGATIONS!

Gummere: [uneasily] You realize, of course, that if we fail in even the slightest way, we'll all be killed?

Adm. Chadwick: Yes, and the whole world will probably go to war.

Capt. Jerome, USMC: Gentlemen, if we fail and are killed, I certainly hope the world DOES go to war!
[raises glass as a toast]

Adm. Chadwick: The world at war!

Gummere: A world war? Now THAT would be something to go out on. . .
