What is your favorite Leslie Nielsen quote?

Don’t call me Shirley

Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can’t tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I’m a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I’m just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can’t you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can’t take a guess for another two hours?

“I couldn’t believe it was her. It was like a dream. But there she was, just as I remembered her. That delicately beautiful face. And a body that could melt a cheese sandwich from across the room.

And breasts that seemed to say… ‘Hey! Look at these!’ She was the kind of woman who made you want to drop to your knees and thank God you were a man! She reminded me of my mother, all right. No doubt about it.”

“I can hold my breath a long, long time” from Creepshow. He was a bastard in that movie.

Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?

“Doing nothing is very hard to do…you never know when you’re finished.”

‎“Jane, since I’ve met you, I’ve noticed things that I never knew were
there before… birds singing, dew glistening on a newly formed leaf,
stoplights.”

‘Moustache, about 6’2…’

‘That’s an awfully big moustache’

Lt. Frank Drebin: Miss, I’m Lt. Frank Drebin, and this is Captain Ed Hocken, Police Squad.
Busty Female Shop Assistant: Is this some kind of bust?
Lt. Frank Drebin: Well… it’s very impressive, yes, but we need to ask you a few questions.

What did we have for dinner? Well we had a choice of chicken or fish.
Ahh yes I had lasagna.

One of the best movies ever

Looks like the cows have come home to roost.

Don’t call me Shirley.

Luke, remember, when you fall on your face you’re still moving forward.

From what is probably my favorite sci fi movie, Forbidden Planet:

Commander John J. Adams: Morbius, that thing out there – it’s you.

From Naked Gun:

Mayor: Now Drebin, I don’t want any trouble like you had on the South Side last year, that’s my policy.

Frank: Well, when I see five weirdos, dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards, that’s my policy!

Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of ‘Julius Caesar,’ you moron! You killed five actors! Good ones!

The Naked Gun
[Jane Spencer climbs a ladder]
Lt. Frank Drebin Nice beaver!
Jane: [producing a stuffed beaver] Thank you. I just had it stuffed.

I miss Austinlad. This is exactly his type of question.

^^ All of the above!XD

the lines were likely written by others, but it was Neilsen’s timing and delivery that made these phrases so lasting in our humor. when I read the contributions above, I was mentally reciting his timing to the words. and of course his straight man/woman dialogue partners were superb also. Shirley, we’ll miss you!!!

Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he’s behind bars. Now, let’s grab a bite to eat.

Strike!!!! that whole baseball sequence was hilarious.

”...and don’t call me Shriley.”
