One Liners

What's your favourite one liner that you have written? Could be in a drama or a comedy.

And a one liner can be someone's reply to a question in my lexicon.

Mine was the following one word response.

{Dan has been boasting about some achievement.}
DAN: Anyone got a number for The Guinness Book of Records?
JANE: Infinity?

Mine was the one word reply to a question.
"Infinity."

"What's 1 divided by zero?" was obviously what others consider to be my best one liner. :O

Sorry Marc, but it wouldn't be fair to all my other brilliant one liners to single one out.

Laughing out loud that's a cracker!

"Hey I saw Sonny Liston yesterday" (The world champ,Ali was due to face)

To which he replied

"Aint he ugly?"

I don't know about favourite, but a recent one:

TONY:
I want it checked - in fact I want more checks than Petr Cech's checkbook in the pocket of his checked jacket at the checkout.

JANICE:
Check.

In a recent sitcom wot I wrote:

(BOZ HAS NICKED A LOAD OF NHS STUFF FROM THE RECYCLING CENTRE AND IS TAKING IT OUT OF A BINLINER, ONE ITEM AT A TIME AND SHOWING IT TO GILLY. THERE'S A REPLACEMENT HIP, A PACEMAKER, FALSE TEETH ETC.)

GILLY:
Will you stop cluttering my counter up with all this shite, it looks like a bomb's gone off in a pension queue!
