The Best Lines In Television History

What are some of the best written lines of dialogue to ever grace the small screen? What’s your favorite? My personal favorite is “When you look at someone through rose colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.” From ‘Bojack Horseman’.

Holly Lindsey (Maureen Garrett) gave this great speech when asked to explain what she meant about Ed Bauer's (Peter Simon) daughter Michelle (Rachel Miner) feeling 'betrayed' after her mother Maureen's (Ellen Parker) death (not knowing Ed's infidelity inadvertently led to Maureen's death).

[italic] “Haven’t you ever felt so hurt and so lost that anything anybody said just sounded hollow and beside the point. And didn’t it ever seem to you that if the people who supposedly care about you are still standing around making sympathetic noises instead of falling over paralyzed like you are then they really don’t get it -- because if they felt the way you felt then, the world would stop, the sun would freeze in the sky, and they wouldn’t be able to do or say anything the way they had ever done it before. So, either you’ve got it all wrong yourself or you have been completely betrayed by the people who promised to always love you and care and understand…that’s what I meant…that’s more than I meant.” [/italic]

I can't remember what program it was, but it was a sitcom about 25 years ago. A kid of about 10 or 12 was chiding his crusty grandmother about her smoking, to which she replied, "if you're that concerned about my welfare, why don't you make my house payment?"

On the same topic on another show, someone remarked that smoking took 20 years off one's life, to which the rejoinder was, "maybe so, but they're the last 20 years, and those are crappy years anyway."

The one I always remember from the original W&G, was when Will and Karen both were having a thing with Karen's chef, when they confronted him he said he was pansexual and Karen says "He's been humping my pans?" I remember it was the first time I had heard the term pansexual.

Chris: Erica, when I said I was staying so close to you because I was in love with you I was lying. I'm not a janitor or a lawyer. I'm a secret agent assigned to protect you by the government because your life is in deadly danger by drug lords who want to kill you.

It's arcane and too biblical for daily use, but the motif "every prophet in his house" from CARNIVALE chills me even now. Clancy Brown makes the line sound the like scariest thing ever uttered in history. I love how it means everything and nothing at the same time.

00:13:46: The dining room is boudoiresque, fin-de-siècle eclectic,

00:13:49: And still fashionably uncomfortable.

00:13:52: A melange, possibly a post-Orwellian version of an Edwardian eatery.

00:13:58: The food? Ecumenical in flavour,

00:14:00: A cosmopolitan adventure full of exuberant eclecticism,

00:14:04: Full of amuse-gueule and gastro-credibility.

00:14:08: No flash in the bain-marie this.

00:14:11: A comforting air. Generally, the tomatoes were rather pulpeuse.
