"...and you'll need a pair of rubber gloves. You own rubber gloves, don't you?"

Fletch: "I rent them. I have a lease with an option to buy."

Can I borrow your towel for a sec? My car just hit a water buffalo.

quote:


Fletch: You fellas wanna read me my rights?
Detective: You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to have your face kicked in by me. You have the right to have your balls stomped by him.
Fletch: I'll waive my rights.


quote:

Fletch: I saw Alan this morning and you know what I can't figure out?
Mrs. Stanwyck: Alan's in Utah.
Fletch: I... can't figure out what I was doing in Utah this morning.

My favorite movie of all time (in addition to objectively being the best movie ever made). Currently my favorite "line" is when he burns himself due to ignorance of the location of the airplane's engine:

Come on, guys, it's so simple...maybe you need a refresher course..HAYAAAHHHAHYYYAYY.



I think I can recite the entire movie.

i like the part where he leaves his black parents and then goes to work at a gas station. He never really knows what is going on. then he gets rich.

One of my all time favorite movies too.

When speaking to wife's attorney "keep $10 for yourself and go get yourself a nice piece of arse"

The whole scene after the car chase when he end up at the "Fred Dorfman" Dinner.

"We're here to honor Fred the Dorf Dorfman...Hats off to his wife Marge...no more alcohol and seditives in her life"

Paraphrasing here...

Fletch: I'm John. I went to school with your husband.
Gail Stanwyck: John who?
Fletch: John Coc...tos...tin...genson....
Gail: Well, Mr. Coctostingen... That's a beautiful name.
Fletch: It's Scotch/Romanian.
Gail: Odd combination.
Fletch: So were my parents.


AND


Fletch singing/mumbling to himself:

Strangers in the night...exchanging clothing.
Strangers in my pants...where are they going...

Teenager: Are you a cop?
Fletch: As far as you know.
Teenager: Are you gonna take me to jail for car theft?
Fletch: Why? Did you steal the car?
Teenager: I sure did.
Fletch: Well, I'm not even sure that's a crime anymore. There've been a lot of changes in the law.

My all-time favorite exchange in the movie.

Dr. Joseph Dolan: So where do you know Alan from?
Fletch: We play tennis at the club.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Really? California Racquet Club?
Fletch: Right.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: That's my club too. I don't remember seeing you there.
Fletch: Well, I haven't been playing in a while because of these kidney pains.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Right. Now, how long have you had these pains, Mr. Barber?
Fletch: No, that's "Babar".
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Two B's?
Fletch: One B. B-A-B-A-R.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: That's two.
Fletch: Yeah, but not right next to each other. I thought that's what you meant.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Arnold Babar. Isn't there a children's book about an elephant named Babar?
Fletch: I don't know. I don't have any.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: No children?
Fletch: No elephant books.

I actually used this at my hotel in Gainesville. A girl was running from the pool through the parking lot with her towel around her.

Didn't work
