Favorite 5 Lines Poll
kevin
If you could pick 5 lines from Wings as your all time favorites (and I know
we all have more than that), what would they be.
Let's see... In no particular order...
1. "Oh, Whoa! Check Please!" - Brian when Helen says she didn't have time
to shave her legs.
2. "I only have one question: Where did he take you for dinner, and did he
order a Happy Meal?" - Joe to Helen after her date with Lowell.
3. "Ten bucks says Lowell's packing a little sheet metal." Brian
4. "Could someone give me a hand, I just dropped all my fingers." - Lowell
5. "Everyone in this airport wants to know this one little thing, and I'm
the only one who knows. I feel like Yoda." - Joe
Okay, this is a tough exercise. I could go on for days. These were the
first five that came to me. I think they're all on the tape I've watched
most recently.
So maybe they're not your absolute favorite five, because as soon as you
write five you'll think of another one you like just as much. But what are
5 lines you think were great?

A Perfect TooL 9
1.) "Look Joe, Satan, whatever your name is." - Alex
2.) "Could someone please give me a hand. I just dropped all my fingers." -
Lowell
3.) "Kenny. Mom. Kenny's Mom. YEESH" - Brian
4.) "No booze. No stripper. Soup in a can and pork rhines. I hate this
bacheleor party. You suck." - Joe
5.) "I got an idea. Lets go rent a couple of crabs suits, come back here with
giant mallets and scare the hell out of these people." - Davis "Dear Davis"
Lynch
Thomas
comeback???---Brian
Smores! that is like the dumbest name for a food in the world! As in "gee
there's so delicious, I'd like s'more!" It's STUPID! IN fact, I think thats
what they should call them! S'stupids!--Brian
She's LYING! I'm clumsy, I'm inexperienced! I don't even know where everything
is!!!---Antonio
Senorita Sabatini took a frightened Antonio aside and said "that's ok, it's
perfectly natural for those feelings to come out during Greco-Roman
wrestling--Antonio
This is about the worst thing Brian has done! And he once painted me
blue!!!---Joe
I KNOW there are funnier lines than just these, but these came to mind first
for some reason! hehehe
Tom R.
"Better I be a traitor to my country than a traitor to my
conscience"--Stauffenberg
Thomas
>5.) "I got an idea. Lets go rent a couple of crabs suits, come back here with
>giant mallets and scare the hell out of these people." - Davis "Dear Davis"
>Lynch
This was not from Dear Davis but rather from Business and Pleasure. A great
line though! :)

"This is the worst Christmas ever. I used to think it was the one where Mom and
Dad got us hampsters and forgot to poke holes in the box, but atleast that had
a moment of heightened tension." - Brian
Stephen Quintana
Lowell: (about Fay) Yeah...I could've taken her easy!
Lowell: It's hard to describe...but it made my eyelids flap like a windowshade.
Casey: Why is this happening? Brian: (panting) Cause we're sick!
Lowell: It would have been nice to know that before I yelled out my name. (After he
finds out the gun is a non-working antique
Antonio, when he's talking about the actor he thinks is the most handsome, and then
at the end, he says, "Ohh, yess". And everybody gets real quite and just stares
at him.

1. "Check, please!" anytime it occurs (Helen's unshaved legs,
Brian realizing he's "a gonna get a big fat check!", etc.)
2. "I know the goat is a roady tart, but I bought your dog a
grape jar." (Brian trying to decipher Faye's handwriting in "Joe
Blows: Part 2")

in "Joe Blows: Part 2")

the insurance fraud investigator)

Rachel in "Marriage Italian Style)

included. Just a joke. :> And here are some more great lines, just for kicks:
"You thought I meant the bed." - Carlton Blanchard
"I once shot a man in Reno just to watch him die." - Joe
"MY GOD MAN YOU'VE LED HIM RIGHT TO US" - Lowell

Well, that's my dream come true... to walk down the aisle with some guy
scratching, "Here comes the b-b-b-b-bride!" [Helen]
Joe: I say potato, you say --
Helen: No thanks, I'll just have the rice.
The house just (some vocal sound effects) ...burned down. ...I'll bet it was
fire. [Helen]
My goat knows the bowling score, hallelujah! [Antonio]
"Ann-Margret!" [Lowell, a few times in one episode]
I could go on, but maybe more in another post...

[Note: "os2te": or something to that effect.]
Attention, everyone! My name is Helen Chappel. And yes, my boyfriend recently
dumped me, and no, I have never been on a date since and I'm fine with that.
I'm single, unattached, and I like it that way so please do not fix me up with
anyone, absolutely no one, thank you! [Helen in a scene from The One With The
Crate... what was the real name of that episode again?]
From the same episode, in an earlier scene:
...but the red shoes, the red jacket, the red shirt, the red pants, the red
socks, the red carpet, the red couch, the red cat??? [Helen again, referring to
a date named "Red Hastings" and also talking about maybe what's behind that
name.]
In another episode:
[Roy refers to the poet Dylan Thomas.]
Lowell: "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage, for the times they
are a-changin'."
[Roy corrects Lowell... Bob Dylan.]
Lowell: I thought he was on Gilligan's Island. (os2te)
[Another correction from Roy... Bob Denver.]
Lowell: Didn't he sing "Rocky Mountain High?"
From the show's first holiday episode:
Lowell: ...walking in my winter underwear. (os2te)
[Brian corrects him on the lyric.]
Lowell: Wonderland's a dog track. I don't think they would be open in the
winter. (os2te)

My daughter and I had fun over the holidays with that line! Everytime we would

2. "Hold on, baby, don't let that sucker go!"--Helen

4. Brian: "Nothing happened...four times." Casey: "Seven for me."

five more. It is hard to beat the meat-slapping line, but:
Also in no particular order:
Joe: "Great, Brian, she'll never find you over there ... " (when they are
having dinner at Fay's house and Brian is convinced Fay is trying to poison
him, and Brian switches seats with Joe to get the "safe" salad)
Helen, "[through door] What the H*LL do you want? [opens door] Oh, Davis!"
(the at end of the episode where everyone is trying to help Helen prepare
for a dinner date at home with Davis, because "I can do this!")
"There's Roy's ex-wife!" Alex: "Someone was married to Roy?" and then
three characters in succession after they get a look at her: "No way!!"
"Natasha" (or whatever her name was, the oddball woman in Helen's quartet)
"was resting comfortably in her coffin, and little Johnny's grounded."
(Little Johnny of "Major babe alert! I want her, I really want her!" fame)
From Alex's debut episode: "Slick, you're in that thing backwards." Brian:
"Obviously you've never seen how it's done in Europe."
And a bonus: this wasn't really a line, but the scene where Joe is
strumming a guitar in his office, Antonio is clinking a spoon in his coffee
cup, and Lowell is sanding the door frame, and Brian chimes in with the
lounge singer "scatting" -- I about fell off the couch. Now that's when
Wings was clever.

"Okay, you can cover those babies up now."--Helen, to her crazy new neighbor
who's exposing herself.
"She has one of those big, fuzzy cover on her toilet lid. You know, the
kind that falls down when you least expect it. It's like a
guillotine."--Brian, on Fay's house.
"Well, not the veil."--Antonio, when it is revealed that he tried on his
cousin's wedding dress.
"You and I are dating a mother and son, my sister is married to your brother
and we have slept together. Oh God, somebody's gonna end up with a
two-headed kid!"---Casey to Brian.
"Joe, will you quit making such a bid deal about this! What we did last
night was just sex! It was nothing else, just sex!"--Helen, very loudly for
the entire airport to hear (including her childhood minister).
