  From "Jaws":

  Q: "How can a man whose afraid of the water live on an island?"

  A: "It's only an island when you look at it from the water."

  Favorite line (or understatement!) from that movie: "You're gonna need a bigger boat!"

• Marie Dressler to Jean Harlow in "Dinner at Eight".... - danj 23:33:07 04/29/04 (0)
  In Reply to: Greatest zinger in a movie? I'd say Kathleen Turner's posted by tinear on April 28, 2004 at 06:58:58:

  Harlow, dressed like a woman of the evening, says to Dressler, while both are waiting in a line, "They say that someday machines will take over everybodys' jobs."

  Dressler, after giving Harlow a thoroughly jaundiced look says, "My dear, you have nothing to worry about." Inferring, of course, that Harlow was a prostitute.

  If I have the wrong movie PLEASE TELL ME.

  Dressler was a wonderfully gifted actress and made a perfect foil to Harlow's daffy character.

    Her wit and charisma were legendary. She was, at her peak, the best.

    On the male side, W.C. Fields had some splendid zingers - most of which were his, and not some writer's. Same can be said for Mae. Both she and W.C. wrote most of their own dialogue.

    Some other notables would be Groucho Marx, Robert Benchley, Kate Hepburn, and Bette Davis. Few current writers and/or performers can match their acerbic wit.

  I can´t recall if that was said in a film, or while he was shaving in the morning, but... does it matter?

    blessed with more than its share of memorable zingers.

    With W.C., the zinger reached its peak. Only Mae West was his equal. Groucho and Robert Benchley came very close, though.

  This isn't exactly a "zinger," but it is a strange line (and my favorite)...

  Gaberiel Byrne to Marcia Gay Harden in Miller's Crossing:

  "I was in the neighborhood and feeling a bit daffy, so I thought I'd stop in for an apertif."

  Those Coen Brothers really do have a way with words.

  Jack Nicholson probably has the most "zingers" of any working actor...along with those mentioned, he nails several great ones in Terms of Endearment (as only Jack can deliver them)..."I'd rather stick needles in my eyes" and "I was this close to a clean getaway" and "I'd have to give my stock answer...I love you to, Kid." (etc).

  
  What's the rumpus?,

    I think that's the name of the movie. Its the one where Jack Nicholson's character has serious OCD and Helen Hunt is a waitress in a restaurant that he frequents.

    
    Helen: "I'm really impressed with your ability to understand women. How do you do it?

    Jack: "Its easy, I just imagine what a man would think. And then I remove reason and accountabilty.
