Best throwaway lines?

After seeing a comment on one of the other threads, I got to thinking. What are your favorite throwaway lines in the movie?

Mine has got to be:
"Did you get my Cheez Whiz, boy?"

YEARS after this became one of our most quotable movies, my buddy moved to an apartment literally next to railroad tracks, and I think he actually got tired of me throwing out the "how often does the train go by" bit, because he was required to follow up. That was one of our favorites.

We also used to love the hyper-enthusiastic, "well, it's a BEAUTIFUL place, Bob!!!"

"Mission from God " should be thrown away. Ask any American after 9/11.

when connected with this movie, "mission from God" will always be funny. If it stops being funny, the terrorists win.
