Best throw-away line in a movie.
Has to have very little to do with or be only subtly related to the story.
I'll start with Sixteen Candles,
Little Brother: <referring to Molly Ringwald> "Who'd ever want to marry HER?"
Little Sister: "Mr. T"
<walks out door smiling>

Can neither confirm nor deny...

Though, I'm guessing that a deeply religious dude like mundo would wait the extra 2 years. A gentleman to the last...

Ummmmm, were I not already married...

...I'd probably wait the two years and then wait some more knowing me and my indecisive attitude.

RAGING BULL

The bit where where Joe Pesci says to his kid at the dinner table, "If I see you putting your hands in your plate one more time, I'm gonna stab you with this knife!" (Italian families don't mess around.)
The bit in MILLER'S CROSSING where Albert Finney says the murdered man's hairpiece was stolen, and Gabriel Byrne says "Maybe it was Injuns."
The bit in Laurel & Hardy's WAY OUT WEST where Hardy tries to start a conversation with an annoyed lady sitting next to him in a stagecoach: "Only eight months to Christmas!"
The bit in the L&H short DIRTY WORK (the one where they're chimney sweeps in a mad scientist's house) where the butler looks at them and mutters, "Somewhere an electric chair is waiting."

Starsky: "I like your

Starsky: "I like your moves."
Hutch: "I like your style."
I keep waiting for this to catch on as a call/response in-joke, but everyone stares at me blankly when I use the first half of it.

Best throw-away line in a movie

Juan from the movie Club Dread:
"Juan Castillo... went to jail... for having sex with a goat. Ok? Is that what you wanted to hear? We lived on a farm! And I got lonely! We were just a couple of crazy kids!"
...what...what were talking about again?

A few cute ones, and ones that made me LOL or go WTF

And I'm going to misquote the hell out of them.
"Laser envy!" in "Toy Story"
"Hey, we're in a rut!" in "The Dover Boys" (a short, but I can't resist)
"Mr. Wizard get me outa here!" among loads and loads more from the "Matrix" series
And, oh, here's another fun, appropos of nothing exchange from "16 Candles" (man, WTF happened to John Hughes?)
Nerd 1: "How can you tell it's a female alien?"
Nerd 2: "Duh, she's got boobs."
Nerd 1: "So why are they any different from human boobs?"
Nerd 2: "She's got four of them."

Worst lines in a "comedy"

from Can't Stop The Music
Valerie Perine: "Oh no, my contact lens just fell in the lasagna."
Barbara Rush: "So, call it 'lasagna crunch'"

Another CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC line

"Anyone who could swallow two Snowballs and a Ding Dong shouldn't have any trouble with pride."
Gay subtext, anyone?
