Memorable quotes from As Good as It Gets

"Worst sidewalk in New York. Look where they put it."
"Simon Bishop: Have you seen Verdell?"
"Melvin Udall: What does he look like?"
"Simon Bishop: My dog. You know, my dog with the adorable face? Don't you know what my dog looks like?"
"Melvin Udall: Oh, I got it. You were talking about your dog. I thought it was the name of that colored man I've been seeing in the halls."
"Simon Bishop: Which color was that?"
"Melvin Udall: Uh . . . like thick molasses, with a broad nose. Perfect for smelling trouble and prison food."
"Melvin Udall: Oh, now I'm pissed! Now, I am REALLY PISSED!"
