Best obscure dialogue

What are some of your favorite underappreciated lines of dialogue. I'm not talking about films that are necessarily well written as a whole. No Tarantino, he's already gotten more than a lifetimes worth of play.

Here's a few of mine:

"Chrystal. Baluga. Wolfgang Puck... It's a fuck housssse". David Caruso inspecting a mini-bar at a crime scene in JADE

"if you ever get the chance to travel with a Mexican carnival..... pass". Charlie Sheen in THE ARRIVAL

"Water is wet. The sky is blue. Women have secrets. Who gives a fuck"? Bruce Willis in THE LAST BOY SCOUT

"Yippie Kay-ay-yeah, Mister Falcon"

The "edited-for-TV" version of Die Hard 2.

Die Hard 2 has some of the worst (ie best) re-looped dialogue ever.

It's especially hilarious when the voice obviously does NOT belong to Bruce Willis.

Yeah, there's a point somewhere in the middle where he's arguing with the cop (Franz) and an entire 15 seconds or so of straight monologue are dubbed over by some guy who sounds nothing like him! They couldn't have made it deliberately funnier if they tried--it makes "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" sound natural...

I recently re-watched The Last Boy Scout. Quite a good film. Shane Black's noir witticisms and Tony Scott's LA sleeze work well in tandem. Bruce Willis dancing the jig. Taylor Negron as Milo the Hitman.
Willis' little speech at the end is pretty nice, I wish I could remember it, with him and Damon Wayans walking away in a long shot under suburban trees.
"Friday Night's a Good Night for Football."
I want to use this opportunity to pass a motion on ILF that Bruce Willis will be referred to from here on in as "Bruno"; in affectionate reference to his achievements and failures in Hollywood and to specifically acknowledge is shorlived musical career as a blues singer. That is all.

I can't find the text of it online, but President Henry Fonda's "don't just interpret his words, tell me what he's meaning" speech to interpreter Larry Hagman in Fail-Safe
