So now that the awards have passed and the new cycle begins, here is a thread to post your favorite show lines as you hear them throughout the year so that it is easier to remember moments in time and lines for next year's voting.
Do forget to include who said it and the show/date!

Last night, I lamented to Bob that I had failed to nominate Kaci's "I'm gonna put my spoon on you!" line from the 1930s Pgraph show that took place in a boxcar. Sorry for this belated acknowledgment of a memorable line.
Great Idea!

I would also suggest a brief explanation of context as well.

well, this one was actually eligible from 2007, but:
at a coldtowne/frank mills show a few months back bob and justin initiate a scene by going to a buffet bar and begin putting food on their plates.
jastroch has also come out and is standing behind them staring creepily. he then says (in this really fetish-y old dude voice)
"Yeah. Serve yourselves."
so weird. it still makes me laugh out loud.

Stool Pigeon 11/10/07
Ratliff is on a date in the worst restaurant possible, being waited on incredulous waiter, Lance.
Ratliff asks to see the chef...
Rachel (entering): What's the problem?
John Stutters and has trouble formulating an immediate response
Rachel: Oh my God! I just got married and had six kids by the time you finshed this sentence!

Awww Shit opens for PGraph sometime in summer '07
After a particuarly impressive Cody/Terp rap that gets zero response from the 7 person audience:
Cody: (into the mic, but definitely to himself) You're welcome, audience!
Rachel and I still say that to each other and giggle.

Show: Biggest Shopping Day of the Year Players, Nov 23
Context: A bunch of people are going around as Jesus in the same way people go around as Santa during the holidays
Jastroch: My first instinct as Jesus would be to go into a bar and pick up a woman.
Show: I Snood Bear, Nov 23
Context: Paul (Wes) and Mary (Christina) are debating over where to go for their honeymoon.
Mary: Let's go to Hawaii!
Paul: Isn't that cliche?
Mary: It's cliche because it's awesome!

P-graph French Farce, Thursday Dec 6, 2007:
The brilliant absurdity of French farce was summed up by Kareem's proclamation to Roy, as his rich father character (who had piles of gold up to his nipples) castigated his disappointment of a son:
"My nipple gold will not be your nipple gold until I'm in my nipple grave!"

Last night, during the show, in my mind, I titled the play:
L'Or de Mamelons

I saw that. It was hilarious, but somehow you recounting it makes me laugh even more.

I remember that scene because it was the first show I ever saw in Austin. It was early July and it remains my favorite on stage Jastroch moment.

from the cagematch last night:
tami and roy sit in a room that has been described offstage as a 'boardroom on the 7th floor', where bob's lawyer character is being summoned to.
right before bob enters, tami is typing feverishly and says "business, business, business! business business."
excellent.
