And a particular favorite, from DR. MABUSE THE GAMBLER, a visitor to a den of iniquity is asked,
"Cocaine or cards?"
In the English edit THE CRIMES OF DR. MABUSE Countess Told says of the extreme decor of her house
"My brother is a Cubist"
It happens in the best of families, doesn't it. Their parents probably don't like to talk about it.

I like this one from Sherlock, Jr.:
"I lost a dollar, did you find it?"
"Describe it."
(A co-worker and I quoted the scene at my desk years ago).

"Behold! She sings to bring down the chandelier!"
...frightened me off visiting any opera house for years.
"Happiness must be earned"
...made me think.
(1. from "Phantom of the Opera" 2. from "The Thief of Baghdad")

My fave ones that made me laugh:
"I'll take this and six more; and make them sleeveless, backless, transparent, indecent—go the limit."
"When a girl can wear a bathing suit like this, it's her duty to do so!"
Both from Why Change Your Wife? (1920)
"No, Vico! You'd make a marvelous second husband—but you're too much of a luxury for a poor girl's first venture!" Children of Divorce (1927)
I'm sure I'll think of more.

Here's a small batch that I copied off the screen onto my notepad at various editions of Cinesation and Capitolfest over the years:
Star of the Sideshow (Thanhouser 1912): "The peasants regret that their only daughter is a midget."
The Wild Engine (1915 Kalem; this is chapter 26, that's right, 26, of the Helen Holmes serial
The Hazards of Helen): "A car of dynamite is running wild and may run into the picnic train!"
The Great White Trail (Walton 1917; this ridiculous film is sort of the Plan 9 from Outer Space of silents):
"Fields of greater activity may help me forget my baby. I am going to Alaska." (Dr. Phil would approve.)
Terror (Fordys 1924; final film of Pearl White): "Hand over my father's invention and I'll keep quiet about your secret passageway to the sewers!"
I'm sorry but the 1925 Wizard Of Oz already has that title.

"Slut"
--- Any Swedish movie. Which is always a bit startling when there is a kiss at the fadeout.
