“Oh, Sammy’s so confused, he don’t know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt.” — I could pretty much quote the whole movie. Love it!
Oh there are too many quotes from this movie!
“Spoken like a true smartass”
“If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me”
“He’s so confused he doesn’t know whether to wind his butt or scratch his watch”
The list goes on and I use them frequently! Pure gold!
My favorite (of so many) has to be the Weezer rant where she declares that she does not go to movies because they are trash, does not read because if the books are any good they will be made into a miniseries and does not go to plays because she can nap at home.
I could quote the entire movie from front to back (it’s just that awesome), but the funeral scene with “Hit Ouiser!” is my absolute favorite.
“Time marches on and eventually you realize it’s marching across your face.” and “You are too twisted for color TV” and “You know I love you more than my luggage.” (Obviously a fan of the Ouiser and Claree scenes.) And just for good measure “looks like two pigs, fightin under a blanket.”
“Claree! We are not feeding Drum until the end of time!”
And the scene in the cemetery is the funniest thing EVER!
“The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.”
“My colors are blush and bashful”
“Her colors are pink and pink”
This just made my day, by the way. That photo of Dolly just put a smile on my face.
“Thanks Ouiser. Nothin’ like a good piece of ass.”
“All gay men have track lighting and all gay men are named Mark, Rick or Steve.”
“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been a very bad mood for the last 40 years!”
Truvy: Well, these thighs haven’t gone out of the house without lycra on them since I was 14.-
Clairee: You were brought up right.
Seriously, I could do this all day…
Such a good movie. My mom has to leave the room during the funeral scene. She can’t handle it.
“Nuthin’ like a good piece of ass.”
“Would it be too much to ask for a little excitement, not too much I wouldn’t want you to break a sweat or anything.”
“Miss Truvy, I promise that my personal tragedy will not interfere with my ability to do good hair.”
“I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence.”
“I’m fine! I can jog all the way to Texas and back, but my daughter can’t!”
“When I was in school, my friends and I would dress up as nuns and go bar-hopping” –Ousier
“Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion” –Truvy
Claree: Did you know Anne Boleyn had six fingers?
Ouisa: Who’s Anne Berlin?
Claree: Anne BOLEYN. She was one of Henry the Eighth’s wives. She had six fingers.
Ouisa: Well, what happened to the other four?
Claree: She had eleven total.
I don’t know why I love it, I just do.
But my all-time favorite line has to be Truvy: “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion”. So true!
what does this quote mean?
Ouisa: “What’s wrong with you M’Lynn? You gotta reidneer up your butt?!”
hahahahahahahaha…. and how about the bleeding armadillo/red velvet groom’s cake?!
This just made my day! I just played Shelby in a community theater production, and this is helping with my Steel Magnolias withdrawl. My favorite (super sappy) Shelby line:
“I’d rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.”
And my favorite Ouiser/Clairee exchange:
Ouiser: That noise is causing him to lose his hair. What am I supposed to do about my poor dog?
Clairee: I have lots of great recipes!
Truvy: Spud!!! I’m a chain!!!
Claree: The older you get the sillier you get
Ouiser: The older you get the uglier you get
You’re a boil on the butt of humanity.
God bless Ouiser.
80’s Dolly Parton: HOTTTTTTTTT
Claree: “Ouiser. I’d recognize your penmanship anywhere. You have the handwriting of a serial killer.”
A couple Truvy quotes I like to use:
There’s so much static electricity in this room, I pick up everything but boys and money.
I’m just screamin’ at my husband; I can do that any time…
I often use “Today were gonna be busier than a one-armed paper hanger”
Clairee: “If you can’t say anything nice, come sit by me!”
