After reading through this NG about Phil Hartman, I started thinking of some of
my favorite quotes that his characters has uttered through the years. Here's
two of my favorites:

Lionel: "Anybody want to join me in a drink?"
Marge: "Mr. Hutz! It's 8:30 in the morning!"
Lionel: "That's OK I haven't slept in days."

Judge: "Mr. Hutz, do you have any further evidence to present?"
Lionel: "Well, I have hersey and conjecture. Those are KINDS of evidence."

If anybody has any others please post.

Bart: Your add says, "No money down."
Hutz: Oh, that's a typo. It should say "No, Money Down!." And this bar
certification shouldn't be there, either.

Hutz: Mrs. Simpson, what do you do after leaving the all you can eat
restaurant?
Marge: We pretty much just went home.
Hutz: Mrs. Simpson I remind you that you're under oath!
Marge: We drove around till 3 AM looking for another all you can eat fish
place.
Hutz: And when you couldn't find one?
Marge: (sobbing) We went fishing!
Hutz: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, does this sound like the actions
of a man who had "All he could eat?"

"Here's my card. It's also a sponge!"

Hutz: "I'm sorry, but I was rummaging through your garbage and couldn't help
overhearing you need a babysitter. Well, I'm here to offer my services. My
fee is $100 an hour."
Homer: "$8 for the whole night."
Hutz: "Fine. $8 and I get to take three popsicles from the freezer."
Homer: "Two popsicles."
Hutz: "Two popsicles and I get to keep this old birdcage."
Homer: "Deal!"
Hutz: (straightens tie) "You still got it."

"As of this moment, Lionel Hutz no longer exists. Say hello to Miguel
Sanchez!"

"Hey, don't take my stuff! - Wait, this isn't the YMCA."

"Hey! Get out of my office!"

"The state bar forbids me from promising you a big cash settlement, but just
between you and me, Mr. Simpson, I promise you a big cash settlement."

"Did somebody say lawsuit?"
- Lionel Hutz's phrase to live by

Why, that could have been MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry... here's one of my favorites...

SKINNER: Do you know where an Orange Julius is? (this is probably
mis-quoted)
HUTZ: I'll sell you this one for 50 cents (i think). It's half full!!!!
SKINNER: Well why don't i just drink out of a toilet bowl.
HUTZ: He'll be back...

These two great quotes are from his suit against the Frying Dutchman
regarding "all you can eat":

"Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of false advertising since
my suit against the move 'The Never-Ending Story.'"

Was this part different in Britain or something? I'm pretty sure it said
"Works on contingency"
I don't think that "required" was in it either...
either way though, it was probably my favorite Hutz quote =)

My favorite is "I've argued with every judge in the state. Often as a lawer!"

I thought that one went more like...
Bart tells Hutz to keep the court busy while he goes out and buys that Itchy
and Scratchy animation cell, and Hutz says: "Your honor, I'd like to call
all of my surprise witnesses back to the stand" and then just about all
kinds of weirdos, including those two large guys on motorcycles that the
writers like to poke fun at, enter in.... I THINK that the line about "more
surprising than the last" was a different episode, but maybe i'm making it
all up....

Mr. Hutz: What color tie am I wearing? (he turns around and begins taking off
his tie)
Apu: You are wearing a red and white striped tie in a half-windsor knot.
Mr. Hutz: Is that what you think? Because if that's what you think, I have
some news for you. news that may shock and discredit you!(he turns around as
the tie dangles out of his sleeve) I am not wearing a tie at all!


Lisa: Mr. Hutz, are you a shyster?
Mr. Hutz: How does a little girl like you know a big word like that?

Judge: Next up, World Organization of Churches vs. Lionel Hutz.
Mr. Hutz: Oh right.

Mr. Hutz: Well, we didn't win. Here's your pizza!
Marge: But we did win!
Mr. Hutz: That's OK, the box is empty.

That line is from the Monorail episode where Phil Hartman is the voice of the
salesman not Lionel Hutz.

Sorry, but the it's the way of the NG.

Beg to differ. I am pretty sure that quote was from Mr. Hutz and not Lyle
Langely. It was either the episode when Mr. Hutz voluteered to babysit the
Simpson kids or one of the Halloween specials when he defended Homer for eating
the forbidden donut. Shyster is a very common term to use for a lawyer, so I
think it makes sense that it was used in relation to Lionel Hutz. Yo.

I'm just about positive it HAD to be Hutz, because I remember how the
monorail episode went (sort of)

Lisa asks something to the effect of "why would a town with a centralized
population benefit from a mass transit system"
Lyle says "I could give you a very detailed answer as to why that is, but
I'm afraid that the only ones who would understand it would be you and me"
and then whispers in her ear "and that includes your teacher!"
Lisa giggles at this point...

Not to complain, but you screwed up Hutz's line. He actually said "If you
look into this dumpster, you'll be violating dumpster-attorney
confidentiality." After this, panicy and to be on the safe side, he burns
the entire contents of the dumpster. But is it really a Dumpster (TM)? And
why would Hutz want to rummage through a dumpster (or the Simpsons' trash,
for that matter)?

Looking for..
(10) A new suit
(9) Discarded coats with some change in the pocket
(8) That legal case he wrote down on an envelope and later disposed of
(7) The 'Legal Facts' cocktail napkin he tossed out
(6) His lost smoking monkey
(5) Newspapers to shred and fill his briefcase with
(4) Some legal notes another lawyer might have tossed to decorate his
office with
(3) Legal degrees another lawyer might have tossed for the same reason
(2) Discarded liquor bottles with a tad left in the bottom
(1) That passport and birth certificate he bought off of Miguel
Sanchez
