I know it’s not a movie but top this Roseanne Roseannadanna

Jane Curtin: This past Thursday was the Great American Smoke Out, a day that everyone in America was encouraged to stop smoking cigarettes for a twenty-four hour period. Here to comment further is Update health correspondent, Roseanne Roseannadanna.

Roseanne Roseannadanna: Thanks a lot, Jane! Thanks a lot! A Mr. Richard Feder from Fort Lee, New Jersey writes in and says: “Dear Roseanne Roseannadanna, Last Thursday, I quit smokin’. Now, I’m depressed, I gained weight, my face broke out, I’m nauseous, I’m constipated, my feet swelled, my gums are bleedin’, my sinuses are clogged, I got heartburn, I’m cranky and I have gas. ... What should I do?” ... Mr. Feder, you sound like a real attractive guy! ... You belong in New Jersey! ...
But I know exactly what you’re goin’ through ‘cause once, I, Roseanne Roseannadanna, quit smokin’. And to get back in shape, I had to join one of those fancy-shmancy health clubs. You know, the ones where it’s real expensive to join but it’s worth it, ‘cause you get to see a lot o’ people that you don’t know naked! ... Like, some people got those bulgy-bulgy thighs, the ones that get chafed just ‘cause they’re always scrapin’ against each other. ... And there’s other people there that got these funny belly buttons. Like, some go in and some go out or it’s like a hole or it curls around or it’s like a little knob on it, like a door. ... Some of them got a little piece of their sweater still in it! ... Some of ‘em look like a little star or a shell or a clam. Or some, you don’t what they are! ... But, personally, I, Roseanne Roseannadanna, don’t like to walk around with no clothes in front of other people! Not that I don’t got a great body. ... But why should I waste it on a bunch of fat ladies in a health club?

Anyway, they got this sauna there which is a little hot room where you go to sweat like a pig. ... So, I go in there but before I sit down, I put this clean towel on the bench ‘cause there’s a lot of people in there and you don’t know where they been! ... So, listen to this. Who do you think is sitting next to me but Dr. Joyce Brothers! ... That very smart pixie lady who thinks she knows everything. But what this nude psychologist doesn’t know is that she had this little teeny tiny ball o’ sweat right here, hangin’ off the tip of her nose! ... It was just hangin’ there! It wouldn’t fall off! ... Like, if she turned her head, it didn’t fall off, if she stood up, it didn’t fall off, she scratched, it didn’t fall off, and when she picked a little piece of sweater out of her belly button, it didn’t fall off! ... That little sweat ball just wouldn’t fall off! ... So I yelled at her. I said, “Hey! Doctor! Flick that sweat ball off your nose! ... What are ya tryin’ to do? Make me sick?!” She—

Jane Curtin: Roseanne!

Roseanne Roseannadanna: What? What?

Jane Curtin: What do health clubs, sweat and saunas have to do with cigarettes?

Roseanne Roseannadanna: Well, Jane. It just goes to show ya! It’s always somethin’! If it’s not one thing, it’s another! Either you smoke or you have a sweat ball hangin’ off your nose! ... It’s just like the song we used to sing on Thanksgiving when I was a little girl. Everybody would come over to my house lookin’ all pretty and cute and everything. My mother would make a turkey with stuffing and for dessert we’d have the traditional Banana Roseannadanna cake. ... Before we ate, we’d bow our heads. [to Jane, who merely stares at her in disgust] Bow your head, Jane. Come on, bow your little head. Come on. Jane, bow your head. Bow your head now. ... [Jane reluctantly bows her head] We’d bow our heads and we’d all sing.

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing
Please look down upon the Roseannadanna household
Bring peace to our fathers, good health to our mothers
And please don’t make me sweat like Dr. Joyce Brothers! ...

Roseanne Roseannadanna: Amen!

Jane Curtin: That’s the news. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Awwww.....now you've done it. Animal House is such an eminently quotable movie, that it's almost cliche. :-)

"Was it over when the....Germans... bombed Pearl Harbor?"

"Fat Drunk and Stupid is no way to go through life, son."

"He can't to that to our pledges. Only WE can do that to our pledges!"

Otter:"I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!" .... Bluto: "We're just the guys to do it."

....and those are just the ones that can be repeated in polite company. :-) :-)
