In the movie "Aliens," there's an exchange between a smart-mouthed guy (Private Hudson) and a small but bad-ass woman (Private Vasquez), that goes like this:

Hudson: "Hey, Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?"
Vasquez: "No. Have you?"

Best sarcastic rejoinder ever. Gotta qualify as one of my favorite quotes.

Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures Through The Looking Glass.

And it's six impossible things:

"I can't believe that!" said Alice.

"Can't you?" the queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again, draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said. "One can't believe impossible things."

"I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Trivia... Jenette Goldstein, the actress who played Vasquez, initially tried out for the part thinking it was about illegal aliens crossing the Mexican border. She had no idea what the movie was about, and was confused about all the military uniforms in the waiting room. The script was later amended to make reference to this, as an inside joke.

Personal favourite quote...

Most of my favourite quotes are sick, and disturbing, and rather delightful.
