From Frasier:

From The A Team (television show):
"I love it when a plan comes together."
From Dirty Harry (movie, I'm pretty sure I don't have it exactly right, but you can look up the exact words):
"You're looking at a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun on the planet. You may be asking yourself, have I fired six shots, or just five. So the question you need to ask yourself is, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

From High Fidelity:
Charlie! You f***ing b*tch! Let's work it out!
From Buffy:
I laugh in the face of danger. And then I run and hide until it goes away.
I don't like vampires. I'm going to take a stand and say they're not good.
This is too much. I mean, yesterday my life's like, "ut oh pop quiz" today it's "rain of toads".
Snider: It's like a sixth sense. I can smell it.
Giles: That would be one of the five.
Devon MacLeish: Man, we need a roadie. Other bands have roadies.
Oz: Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven completely different chords.
Devon MacLeish: That's just, like, fruity jazz bands.
Buffy: What are you doing here?
Spike: Look...
Buffy: Five words or less.
Spike: [counts on his fingers] Out... for... a... walk.
[pauses]
Spike: Bitch.
From Big Trouble in Little China:
"China is here? I don't even know what the hell that means."
"If we're not back by dawn, call the president."
From This is Spinal Tap:
"These go to eleven."
"I don't think a sexy cover is the reason an album sells or doesn't sell. Because, you tell me. The white album? What was that? There was nothing on that goddamned cover."
"It's not your job to be as confused as Nigel."
"Maybe we just fix the choreography, keep the dwarf clear."
"The Boston gig has been canceled. I wouldn't worry about it though. It's not a big college town."
Anyway, I've been doing this sort of thing myself with the chapter openers so I've been enjoying this a bit too much. :^>

Ok, I thought of another one that struck me as really funny at the time.
From The Office:
Meridith: In twelve months time I want to be twelve months sober. (*Pauses*) ... Eleven Months sober!

Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Brenda, I don't want to lie to you anymore. All right? I'm not a doctor. I never went to medical school. I'm not a lawyer, or a Harvard graduate, or a Lutheran. Brenda, I ran away from home a year and a half ago when I was 16.
