December meme: 5 Snippets of Dialogue

From [personal profile] awanderingcoyote, five snippets of dialogue.

Links go to YouTube clips.

The bathroom scene in 21 Jump Street. (no actual vomiting occurs, but they're trying to so emetophobics be warned)
"Is it me?"
"I'm sorry, I just can't sometimes."


Flames on the side of my face. (Clue)
Iconic improvisation from Madeline Kahn.

Sampa talks to Henry about who he is. (Big Eden)
If only everyone had this level of grace for their loved ones struggling to come out/realize their true selves.
"I can't help thinking that your grandma and I didn't do right by you somehow. I feel like maybe we taught you something wrong because you won't tell me who you are. Did we teach you shame? Did I teach you that? Because it would break my heart if I had."

Fold in the cheese. (Schitt's Creek)
A masterclass in comedic timing and delivery. The whole show is, really, but this scene. Incredible.
"What does fold in the cheese mean?"
"You fold it in."
"I understand that but how do you fold it? Do you fold it in half like a piece of paper and drop it in the pot? Or what do you do?"
"David I cannot show you everything."
"Okay, can you show me one thing?"


Shen Wei's "I exercise regularly" explanation for his inhuman feat of power (link goes to a gifset on Tumblr)
Possibly my favorite line from the entire show. Incredible writing and delivery.

If you'd like to ask me for five somethings (I'm terrible at favorites, but I'll give you five and you can pick your favorite 😂), please leave a comment on this post!

I would *want* to pick the “You’re worth it” line from Guardian, but you’re right. This line is superior for so many reasons.
