A magician dies. David and Mattie go to the morgue, and David says, "Abracadabra, the guy's a cadaver."

David and Mattie go to dinner with Mattie's parents. Someone says something that makes Mattie start coughing and sputtering. David pats her hard on the back and says, "You can dress her up, but you can't take her out!"

I could go on forever...but I won't.

In the episode of "Taming of the Shrew" there are so many 'great lines', it would be difficult to recall them all; one that comes to mind is when he chops his way into her room, chases her around , and finally captures her on his lap.
While extolling his virtues, she accusses him of having a "swelled head", he looks down and says "yes!, and proudly to" Almost wet myself on that one!!!

"Do ducks duck? Do flies fly?"

"Do math majors multiply? Do eggs get laid?"

Although, the "bears bear" one is my all-time favorite.

I like in read the mind...see the movie when they meat the sike dude, and maddie intriduces herself and then is about to intraduce addison, then the sike say his name before she does and addison holds his hand up and says

"Can you do this?" and does a weird hand thing (kindof like the vulcan greating, but not really) My dad tried to see if he could do it. I thought that was so funny.

Ah yes...my absolute favorite! And just to refresh your memory:

Doorman: Name please?
David: David Addison.
Maddie: Madolyn Hayes.
Doorman: I'm sorry, but you're not on the guestlist.
David: That's because we're not guests. We're looking for a man with a mole on his nose.
Doorman: Mole on his nose?
Maddie: A mole on his nose!
Doorman: What kind of clothes?
Maddie: What kind of clothes?
David: What kind of clothes do you suppose?
Doorman: What kind of clothes do I suppose would be worn by a man with a mole on his nose? Who knows?
David: Did I happen to mention, did I bother to disclose,
this man that we're seeking with a mole on his nose --
I'm not sure of his clothes, or anything else,
except he's Chinese -- a big clue by itself.
Maddie: How do you do that?
David: Gotta read a lot of Dr. Seuss.
Doorman: I'm sorry to say, I'm sad to report
I haven't seen anyone at all of that sort.
Not a man who's Chinese
with a mole on his nose
with some kind of clothes
that you can't suppose.
So, get away from this door
and get out of this place
or I'll have to hurt you --
put my foot in your face.
David: Oh.
Maddie: Time to go.
David: Time to go.

My absolute favourite David line is the one with the lady whose face was burned off, and David and Maddie are talking about when a woman says she wants to be just friends.

"Just friends? You know what that means for a guy? No kissy, no touchy, no horizonty."

I don't feel I need to explain my art to you, Warren

the conversation about a guy with a mole on his nose ... LOOOOOL

AWFULLY good one :D

Don't know where but in some reharsals they included you actually can feel the pain in the face of the man in black suit while saying those lines : )

Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.
Having socks in your mouth doesn't make you a good actor.

Wow...where to begin...

-Dead man falls out of an elevator and onto his face in front of David and Maddie. He has a knife sticking out of his back and is clearly dead.-
David: "That must hurt to fall on your nose like that."

-David and Maddie are standing in the morgue by a steel casket holding a dead man. David says something infuriating, as usual.-
Maddie (in a vicious tone): "I wonder if there's room for two bodies in there."
David: "Then where would we put the dead guy?"

And whenever David breaks the 4th wall is classic, but this one always sticks in my mind.
-David busts in on Maddie being interrogated.-
Cop: "You can't just bust in here!"
David: "Tell that to the writers, now I wanna know why she's being held here..."

I love it 'cause he just glazes over it and keeps going. I almost missed it the first time I saw the episode.

I'll come to thee by moonlight, though Hell should bar the way.

I can't believe nobody mentioned this:

In the Christmas episode, David comes down the chimney dressed as Santa,
brushes himself off and says "that's the last time I jam myself into a tight hole with my clothes on"

"What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a guy in a dress coming out of the closet before?"

Perry: Why in pluperfect hell did you pee on the corpse?
Harry: I didn't it for kicks.

From "Next Stop Murder":

"Well you didn't do it, and I didn't do it, and Ms. DiPesto certainly didn't do it, and it couldn't have been the butler because he didn't have one."

and from "Come Back Little Shiksa":

"And they lived happily ever after. Big Deal!"

I don't need another enemy, you don't need a painful memory.
