There were so many parts I cracked up at, but one of my favorite parts is when they're interviewing Tracey for the show, and they ask if she would be in a pimple cream commercial, and she says something along the lines of:
"I'd be proud to. Fortunately, I haven't been cursed with acne....like others."
Just that whole scene is hilarious.
I asked for ketchup, I'm eating salad here!
My favourite line is when Tracy and Penny are watching the Corny Collins Show at the start and they see Amber (not verbatim):
Tracy: that Plastic little spastic...
Penny: She's such a queer!
It gets me everytime - it's like Penny's just learnt the word and doen't really know what it means - it's just so innappropriate

Penny: "I'd rather be at a hootenanny in Harlem!"
shareThe part when Amber goes home crying and she's watching Tracy lead the Ladies Choice dance and Velma tries to cheer her up by saying "For all we know that girl can be high yellow"
Eva *hearts* James Marsden!
i haven't seen the original hairspray... but in the latest movie my favourite line that made me laugh so much was when they are at the miss hairspray thingy... and Corny Collins says to amber "Hey, baby! You look like you could use a stiff one!"
hahahaha that was the best!!
"You know what else is gross? Arghhhhhhhh broke a damn blood vessel!!!
CORNY: So Tracy, are you going steady?
TRACY: No but I have a crush on somebody!
EDNA: [while watching CC with a weird look] Who, I'd like to know.
HAHAHA Divine got me cracking up when she said that!
btw...
My favorite line is when Penny is watching The Corny Collins Show and she says Hi to Tracy and then Edna goes, "She can't hear you".
I just think the way she said it was priceless!
"Atleast Try To Act White On Camera!"
I love Debbie Harry!!!

-Prudence Pingleton.
I just love that whole scene with her going down in the black area...
and when she's like
"OFFICER!!"
"Can I help you mam?"
sees that he's black... "AHHHHHHHHHHHH"
its great.
"Matt Damon"
When Tracy says, "Oh, Link, this is so romantic." as she throws a rat off her shoe.
"But does he like me like me like I like him?" - Avenue Q
I agree. When the frightened lady screams at the black policeman in the car gave me the biggest laugh. I also liked it when John Waters himself was trying to give the girl aversion therapy because she was standing up for racial integration. He was a riot as a frenzied psycho therapist.
sharePenny: "She's such a queer!" LOL, I know it meant something different back then. I had an older gentleman once say to me, when I mentioned I had never baked a pie from scratch: "Well, that's queer."
share"From now on you are going to wear a giant P on your sweater so that everyone will know that Penny Pingleton is permanently punished." Prudy to Penny
shareI also forgot, it wasn't a line in the movie, but it was hilarious when Mink Stole held up a sign that said "Falsies" and pointed at a dancer.

Two from Divine
After bitching Tracy out after turning off the tv set, she walks away, mutering "If I didn't know any better, I'd swear she was mental!"
At the dinner table, after Wilbur asks Tracy if she did her chores around the house today, Edna pipes in "(ha-ha-ha) not Miss Tracy...Cyd Charisse herself. She's too busy ratting her hair and doing the Ubangi Stomp".
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
"Oh my God... She's all peroxided up!"
I like the part when Penny is on "lockdown" in her room, ironing her hair, and the psychiatrist comes in trying to hypnotize her not to like black guys, and shocks her with that cattle-prod looking thing and she goes, "I wish I was at a hootenanny in Harlem!"
shareMy altime favorite is when tracy is trying to get her mom to go in the beauty shop.
Tracy: Mom! Come on lets go in.
Edna: Go in the beauty shop?
Edna: Nooooooooo! No wilbur will kill me!
The scene at the hop Tracy and Penny snuck off to. Tracy was slow dancing with a guy before hooking up with Link. Link and Amber were slow dancing next to them and Amber looks at Tracy and mouths quietly, but slowly and deliberately... "Whooooooore". Tracy silently shrieks.
The day after at school Amber is gossiping with her girlfriends and starts a rumor saying that Tracy was alone in a car with a boy in plain site of everyone and Tracy was completely nude. Her friends gasp and yell out "NO! That fat thing!?"
Gym teacher at the dodge ball tournament: "This is special ed!?" The look on her face as she laughs hysterically and points is awesome.
Velma to Amber .... "For all we know...that girl could be high yellow".
shareFirst words out of Edna's mouth after seeing her daughter dance on TV for the first time. "Oh my God... She's all peroxided up!"
She melts in your mouth, she melts in your hands.
