From the musical Evita:
"There again, we could be foolish
Not to quit while we're ahead.
For distance lends enchantment
And that is why
All exiles are distinguished.
More important, they're not dead.
I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay..."

I'm not sure if it counts to quote oneself from a movie, but I've always been fond of this little gem from my Star Wars fanfilm Fool's Errand ( http://spiritsoftheforce.com/films/foolserrand.asp )...
"Which way?"
"This way."
"How do you know?"
"Jedi intuition."
"Is that anything like woman's intuition?"

From The Three Musketeers (Disney version):
"D'Artagnan, if you're going to be a proper Musketeer, you shall have to be schooled in the manly art of wenching."

"That's Raziel?"
"I don't know, I expected something more grand, less... "
"Fuzzy."
" ...fuzzy."
"We'll never catch up with those horses!"
"Then we will have to track them."
"That would take forever. Besides, even if we find them, they'd only capture us, stick us in cages, torture us and finally devour us!"
"Are you suggesting we go home?"
"Naah, this is more fun!"
"All right, fine, then. Come on!"

From the Simpsons episode (I think it's the 1st part of Who Shot Mr. Burns?) where the health inspectors come into a fume-filled Moe's Tavern wearing haz-mat suits:
"Man alive, there are... MEN ALIVE in here!"
"I used to be with it. Then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't 'it' and what's 'it' seems weird & scary to me. And it will happen to you..."

"You can check your anatomy all you want, and even though there may be normal variation, when it comes right down to it, this far inside the head it all looks the same. No, no, no... don't tug on that -- you never know what it might be attached to."
From the Seaquest DSV Season 3 episode, "Spindrift":
"Jim and that Macronesian boy gave their lives so that you could have your life back. I think you owe it to them to live it."
"Jim and that Macronesian boy gave their lives so that you could have your life back. I think you owe it to them to live it."
"With your shield or on it."
From the Simpsons episode where Bart is trying to figure out Roman numerals...
"Wait a minute, Rocky V! That was the 5th one! So Rocky 5 plus Rocky 2 equals Rocky 7: Adrian's Revenge!"
"Wait a minute, Rocky V! That was the 5th one! So Rocky 5 plus Rocky 2 equals Rocky 7: Adrian's Revenge!"
From the TV series Friday the 13th (I forget which ep):
"The only splendid thing about this party will be its conclusion."
"The only splendid thing about this party will be its conclusion."
More Goon Show, though this one is quite random (it's more the way it's said that makes it stick in my mind):
"Tell them we're going to Malaya for tea!"
"Tell them we're going to Malaya for tea!"
I recognise that but can not for the life of me remember from where.
Rest of the movie is pretty crap, but Leland Orser is always brilliant
From the TV series Just Shoot Me:
"Nina, you have got to start getting last names."
"Nina, you have got to start getting last names."
DOGMA, right?
I was watching the MTV Movie Awards parody of The Matrix Reloaded where Justin Timberlake & the Oracle encourage Neo to do the Robot.
NEO: "What if I can't? What happens if I fail?"
TIMBERLAKE: "Dude, seriously, lighten up. It's just the Robot."
ANDY DICK: "Morpheus, what can we expect at this orgy?!"
MORPHEUS: "Machines!"
NEO: "What if I can't? What happens if I fail?"

From Casablanca:
"I put that dress away. When the Nazis march out [of Paris], I'll wear it again."
"How would you feel if we invaded New York?"
"Well, Major, there are certain sections of New York that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade."
