The entire Kareem Adbul-Jabbar/Murdock scene with Joey:

Joey: Wait a minute. I know you. You're Kareem Abdul-Jabar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Roger Murdock: I'm sorry son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.
Joey: You are Kareem. I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.
Roger Murdock: I think you should go back to your seat now Joey. Right Clarence?
Captain Oveur: Nahhhhhh, he's not bothering anyone, let him stay here.
Roger Murdock: But just remember, my name is ROGER MURDOCK. I'm an airline pilot.
Joey: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense. And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.
Roger Murdock: The hell I don't. LISTEN KID. I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

To me, the last line is the funniest.

Then there's this one:
Elaine Dickinson: Would you like something to read?
Hanging Lady: Do you have anything light?
Elaine Dickinson: How about this leaflet, "Famous Jewish Sports Legends?"

The morning show on one of the sports talk stations here references that one at least once a month....

Rough quotes from memory:

Young Girl "Black please, like my men."

Young boy visiting Cockpit "My Dad says that you don't work very hard and that you walk down the court..."
Kareem (Co-Pilot) after being harassed by the boy, grabbing the kid by his collar "Listen kid, I'd like to see your Dad bust his ass up and down the court for 90 minutes night after night"

fumanchewd · Sat Sep 10, 2005 8:53 pm

Since my specialty is irrelavant and off thread topics- here's the best line from any movie ever.

Carl Spackler: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

June Cleaver (Beaver's mom) speaking jive is just about the funniest thing:

"Chump don't want no help; chump don't git no help...Jive ass dude don't got no brains anyhow."

Also this:

"How soon can we land?"

"I can't tell."

"You can tell me: I'm a doctor."

"No, I mean I'm not sure."

"Can't you take a guess?"

"Well, not for another two hours."

"You can't take a guess for another two hours?"
