Quotes

On Saturday Night Live

• Phil Hartman [singing]: I hide behind these wigs and this make-up, but tonight, I'm gonna let myself shine through. They're gonna see the real Phil Hartman, TONIGHT!

Phil Hartman: Okay.

• [narrating "Sex" by Madonna on tape] I like my vagina. Sometimes I stare at it in the mirror when I'm undressing, and wonder what it would look like without any hair.

As Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer

• Your world frightens and confuses me.
• Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, I'm just a Caveman. I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me. Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW and run off into the hills or whatever. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, did little demons get inside and type it? I don't know. My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts.

• Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer (slurring): [Aboard airplane] Stewardess, could you get me another drink?

Stewardess: Sorry sir, the head steward said you already had enough.

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer: But she don't understand, I need this drink. I'm a caveman and I'm frightened by your strange flying machine, so get me another Dewars and water, pronto.

Stewardess: Sorry sir.

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer: Listen, I'll sue you and your WHOLE CRUMMY AIRLINE!

• Judge: Did you hear that, Mr. Cirroc?

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer: (on cellphone) I'm sorry your honor, I was listening to the magic voices coming out of your modern invention.

On the Simpsons

Lionel Hutz

• Lionel: Oh no, we've drawn Judge Schneider.

Marge: Is that bad?

• Lionel: I've been getting a lot of calls about you, Marge. People just love your no-pressure approach.

Marge: Well, you know what we say: the right house for the right person.

Lionel: I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The right house is the house that's for sale. And the right person is anyone.

• Lionel: Well, I didn't win. Here's your pizza.

Marge: But we did win.

Lionel: That's okay. The box is empty.

• Lionel: Mrs. Simpson, don't you worry. I watched Matlock in a bar last night; the sound wasn't on, but I think I got the gist of it.
