Some choice Jesse L. Martin/Ed Green lines from Law & Order:
"Rock, paper, scissors, GUN!"
(in an episode about an auto insurance/accident scam, where people would fake accidents and complain about radiating pain in their neck) "That's good, now radiate your ass up against that wall!"

From a Mad Magazine satire of the TV series "Trapper John, M.D."
Cosmetic surgery patient: That--that incompetent made me into a "9"!
Trapper: So what's wrong with that?
Patient: On a scale of 1-to-100?!

Remembering a bunch of Shredder's lines from the 1st 2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies:
"Find her! Silence her!"
"Money cannot buy the honor which you have earned tonight. You make us all proud. Only effort, discipline, loyalty earn the right to wear the dragon doogi. You are here because the outside world rejects you. THIS is your family! I am your father. I want you all to become full members of the Foot. There is a new enemy. Freaks of nature who interfere with our business. You are my eyes & ears. Find them. And together, we shall punish these... creatures, these... Turtles."
"There will be no mistake this time. I go myself. And the rat, kill it."
"You fight well... in the old style. But you've caused me enough trouble. Now you face... the Shredder!"
"Where's Splinter?"
"Ah, the rat. So it has a name... It HAD a name."
"You lie!"
"Do I?"
"Choose the best men of those that remain to follow the reporter. She is the key to finding the creatures that did this to me."
"Yes, master. Next, master, we rebuild the Foot?"
"No. There is only one thing next. Revenge."
"Find her! Silence her!"

I really like the first movie.. It's a guily pleasure of mine.
I also like short circuit films
"I'm studying to be a part of your country tis of thee"
"They are not exactly selling like pancakes."
"Time to buck the kicket.'
"so instead of worrying about one 11 million dollar robot we have to wrry about 22."
'And plus we are needing gas money."
"the government is made up of three trees...branches."
"You not be knowing your fluids sir.. this is battery fluid. He is dying!"
"Derf"
"It's Fred"
"Thats what i said...Derf"
"See those officers there...?"
"Yes?"
"They want to take your books away!"

Otto: Don't call me Stupid!
Otto: A**H***!
Otto: You know your problem? You don't like winners.
Archie: Winners?
Otto: Yeah. Winners.
Archie: Winners, like North Vietnam?
Otto: Shut up. We didn't lose Vietnam. It was a tie.
Archie: I'm tellin' ya baby, they kicked your little ass there! Boy, they whooped yer hide REEL GOOD!
Archie: I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way a fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.
Wanda: Aristotle was not Belgian. The central principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself". And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes Otto. I looked them up.
Otto: Apes don't read Philosophy.
Wanda: Yes they do Otto. They just don't understand it!
--Again not really obscure, but they do get stuck.
And since I saw this again tonight, here are a few more:
The Phantom: Wondering child you shall know me.
See why in shadow I hide.
Look at your face in the mirror,
I am there inside!
Firmin: Dear Andre what splendid gala,
We're off to a bright new year.
Andre: What a night I confess.
Firmin: Well one does ones best.
Firmin & Andre: Here's to us!
I must say all the same
That it's a shame that Phantom fellow isn't here!
Andre: Dear Andre what a charming gala,
Christine enjoyed a great success
We were hardly bereft when Carlotta left
Otherwise, the chorus was enchanting but the dancing was a lamentable mess.
The Phantom: (After hearing Christine and Raul express there love for one another)
I gave you my music.
Made your song take wing.
And now how you've repaid me,
Deny me and betray me.
He was bound to love when he heard you sing....
(He hears Raul and Christine singing in the distance)
You will curse the day you did not do,
All that the Phantom asked of you!
Otto: A**H***!

Vanyel, what's all those quotes at the top of your post from?
Good god, spare us from the heathens! You've never seen "A Fish Called Wanda"?
^Not yet. I was too young when it first came out and I've been tainted by all of my mother's stories about how it's one of the only movies she's ever walked out on. (The other was Silence of the Lambs.)
Watch it, it's just so very funny. Just a word of warning, if you don't like British comedy, don't bother. Even with Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis, if you don't like, or don't get, British humor, you wont like it.
Don't let Mom pick for you-there's a ton of stuff I like that my parents don't-you gotta take chances-I did. I remember flipping onto a comedy special on (HBO?) and thinking, "A British transvestite comedian? WTF is this? But I gave Eddie Izzard a chance and cried from laughing so hard...

And V is right-you gotta get British humor but if you do keep the pause button handy so you can get over each fit of laughter without missing anything
