Howabout something a little lighter.

The new release of True Grit is getting the attention at the moment, but I fondly remember John Wayne's Rooster Cogburn from the 1969 original:

John Wayne: "I aim to kill you in one minute, Ned, or see you hang at Judge Parker's convience...Which will it be?"

Robert Duvall: "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man."

John Wayne: "Fill your hand, you son-of-a-bitch!"
"You don't know man! I was in radio man! I've seen things you wouldn't believe!"

Surely, Groucho's better known quote beats that one: "While on safari, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know." (Groucho Marx, quoted from memory)

An interesting subcategory to this would be "Great Ad-Libbed Movie Lines", especially from big budget A flicks. Cheapies don't count because some of them are all ad-libs....

For example, a couple of weeks ago, I discovered during a TCM documentary on Cary Grant, that the high point of one of the classic scenes in "The Philadelphia Story" (1940) was ad-libbed:
Jimmy Stewart (drunk) hiccups.
Cary Grant (sober): "Excuse me."
Both are seen on screen trying very, very hard not to break up.
