"Okay, I'll make it as easy for you as I can," Dupea says. "I'd like an omelette - plain - and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast. No mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee."

"A No. 2. Chicken sal san," the waitress repeats, exasperated, through clenched teeth. "Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise. And a cup of coffee. Anything else?"

"Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a cheque for the chicken salad sandwich and you haven't broken any rules."


"You want me to hold the chicken, huh?"

If we are going beyond just "lines", my favorite statement in a movie has to be Joe Pesci's (Nicky) in Casino. When he tells the banker to get him his money back.

"For instance, I'll wake up tomorrow morning nice and early ill take a walk over to the bank, walk in and see ya and uh..if you don't have my money for me Ill crack your fucking head wide open in front of everybody in the bank."

Was the first thing that came to mind but, people have reminded me of some great movie lines above.

What makes a good line ....? Is it the writing or is it the delivery?

I am thinking of scene after scene in the Godfather and then I look at the lines written out and I think ... meh.

When Tom Hayden was getting yelled at by the movie produce (smaltz?) ... lol =

"His olive oil hair and his guinea charm ... AND HE MADE ME LOOK RIDICULOUS AND A MAN IN MY POSITION CANNOT BE MADE TO LOOK RIDICULOUS - NOW YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE"

I don't know why but, just thinking about the scene cracks me up every time.

Oof what a scene - was it great writing though?
Some of my favorite comedic ones:  
Mike from SI : 6/2/2021 2:15 am : link
"What's done is done dad, are you gonna invest or not?" (And several others from this movie.)

"Yes sir, it's true. This man has no dick."

"Is granny spry?" / "They can't all be winners kid" / "I brought you juice." "What's in it?" "Juice."

Most of the dialogue in Tropic Thunder.

"I believe you. But my tommy gun don't!"

the Gladiator director (Ridley Scott) debunked that. Spoken by Crowe, yes, written by, I'm not sure about that.

interestingly, Scott also directed Blade Runner.

And also, that quote is identical (or very close) to one actually written and attributed to Marcus Aurelius 2000 years before Gladiator.
