Jersey Boys(some more I just remembered):

Nick: "In my neighborhood, there's three things every guy does. You never lie to your mother, You never tell the truth to your wife, and the third thing. Every guy knows that."

Frankie:"So what do you think of the new name?"
Crewe:"Oh I love the name, but so did Vivaldi"
Tommy:"Someone else took our name, I'll go talk to him"
Crewe:"That's okay Tommy, he's already dead"

Bob:"He gets up every day at 12pm. Eats at the same time. He has to wear shirts that have been ironed...twice."

Nick:"I think it's about time I start my own group."

Frankie:"Maybe it's like the guy said...Some are born great, Some have greatness thrust apon them. Some achieve greatness then f*** it up."

If I remember more, I'll post them.

Glinda: Well what have you been doing? Apart from riding around on that filthy old thig (points to broom)

Elphaba: Well we can't all come and go by BUBBLE!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Someone mentioned it earlier but the scene at the train station in Wicked...

Fiyero: Elphaba, I've been thinking

Elphaba: Yes (pause) I've heard

One of the only lines on the W/E that gets a round of applause after...we don't go in for that (the rounds of applause..apart from at the end obviously) here,
----------------------------------------------------------------

And while this ins't in the broadway version, only us 'special' people in London...just before Fiyero and Galinda meet.

Elphaba: How can you let your driver run over innocent people like that (something along those lines)

Fiyero: Well, perhaps he saw green and thought it meant go.

How did EVERYONE forget this line?
"That was pure vodka, you poop!"
Paraphrasing:
"My hotel gives out free shampoo...nothing is too wonderful to be true!"
Anything from TL5Y, especially "If you drink blood, I think it's cute!"
any definition of anything in Spelling Bee, and when Logainne talks about Brokeback Mountainin that little speech when Olive gets a phone call,and the bee is paused, but they must have changed it by now...
Avenue Q: We could sit in the park smoking pot... or not!

Into the Woods:

Baker's Wife: Please! I need that shoe to have a child!
Cinderella: That makes no sense!

Cinderella: Thank you birds!
Little Red: You can talk to birds?

Jack: What a beautiful cape!
Little Red: Stay away from my cape! Or I'll slice you into a thousand bits.
Jack: I don't want. I was just admiring it.
Little Red: My granny made it for me from a wolf that attacked us. And I got to skin the animal. And best of all, she gave me this beautiful knife for protection.
Jack: Oh yeah? Well, look what I have. A hen that lays golden eggs!
Little Red: I don't believe that egg came from that hen. Where'd you get the egg?
Jack: I stole it from the kingdom of the giant. And if you think this is something, you should see the harp. It plays the most beautiful music without you even having to touch it.
Little Red: Of course it does. Why don't you go back to the kingdrom right now and bring it back and show me?
Jack: I could
Little Red: You could not.
Jack: Yes I could
Little Red: You could not, Mr. Liar.
Jack: I'm not a liar. I'll get that harp! You'll see!

anyone else think there is so much sexual tension b/t little red and jack haha!

Avenue Q:

George Bush is only for now!!!!

Peter Pan:

Tootles: All I remember about my mother, is that she always used to say "Oh, I wish I had a checkbook of my own!" I don't know what a checkbook is, but I'd sure like to give her one!

Valjean says to the Innkeeper:

I will pay in advance...
You see how dark it is...

And the Innkeeper gives him a choice:

You leave my house!
Or feel the weight of my rod.

But then, without giving him time to choose,
they throw Valjean out of the inn.



p.s. I love the way Drew sings the line.

High Fidelity:

"He has acute angina"
"Well he better have acute angina because his legs are disgusting!"

It may have failed commercially but it had a great book.
