I'm a nut from Brazil

I didn't see this line on quotes page, but I think it is one of the best in the movie. When Susan is explaining to her aunt who David is, he says in the background, "I'm a nut from Brazil."

I LOVE that line too! There are so many gems in this movie, but Grant's delivery and the line itself is hilarious! Brazil nuts...the ones you always pick out of the assortment haha

The same concept came up a few years ago in The Big Bank Theory, 6:07.

Sheldon: Amy deserves better. You know, when we buy the Planter’s deluxe mix, she eats all the Brazil nuts so I don’t have to look at them. She’s a unique blend of saint and squirrel.

It seems to be a thing although I had not run across it before.
