Dorothy: "I've been wondering, what's your line, Mr. Malone?"
Ernie: "My line? My most effective one is to tell a girl she has hair like a tortured midnight, lips like a red couch in an ivory palace, that I'm lonely and starved for affection. Then, I generally burst into tears. It seldom works."
Dorothy (laughing): "You idiot."
Jane Russell as Dorothy Shaw and Elliott Reid as Ernie Malone in Gentlemen Prefer Blonds (1953).
SPOILER: He gets the girl. :)

I love that quote! I was looking at it on www.imdb.com and nearly used it. That film has such great quotes. And imdb is such a wonderful place to find them if you can't conjure them to mind immediately.
