(Daphne attempts to leave after revealing herself and leaving everyone in an awkward shock)
Henry: Sorry, did you just say that you've known about this your whole life?
Daphne: Yeah
Jocelyn: (Randomly) Good, now that we have that settled, how about some tea and a nice piece of fruitcake?
Henry: But your mother didn't feel that I deserved the same consideration?
Jocelyn: (Realizing no one is listening to her) Ohno to the fruitcake then!
Henry: How can she keep something like this from me!?
Glynnis: Excuse-me, what happened to the "mistake" theory we were operating on a moment ago?
(Daphne is excited about her bedroom and hugs Jocelyn)
Jocelyn: Uh, no hugs dear, I'm British. We only show affection to dogs and horses!
(Henry calls Libby for the first time)
Libby: Hello?
Henry: Libby
Libby: Henry! Is she there? Is she alright?
Henry: Yes, she's hereshe's fine, mother's force feeding her ancient fruitcake as we speak!
(Henry tells Daphne about Princess Charlotte's dog being neutered)
Daphne: Ewwww, tragic!
Henry: No the real tragedy is that he's still reproducing!
(Daphne telling Clarissa not to be such a snob, she walks away irritated and looks back at Daphne)
Daphne: Bye!
Clarissa: Ugh!!!!! (then storms away) -

I like the one "Why are you trying so hard to fit in? When you were born to stand out."
Also I love when Libby and Daphne say I love you.
Libby: "I love you a million swedish fish"
Daphne: "I love you a million red M&M's"
It's just a really sweet personal way to say I love you. -

Ian: Why are trying so hard to fit in when you are born to stand out?
Libby Reynolds: I love you a million Swedish Fish.
Daphne Reynolds: I love you a million red M&M's.
Glynnis Payne: Oh, put a cork in it, Clarissa.
Clarissa: Maybe someone should've put a cork in it seventeen years ago
[Regarding Henry Dashwood's familiy mansion]
Daphne Reynolds: It's bigger than our entire apartment and the Chinese restaurant downstairs and the dry cleaner down the street; it makes the White House look like a McDonalds!Glynnis Payne: Now Daphne, we don't want to make a scene now, do we?
Libby Reynolds: Take your hand off my daughter or you won't get a scene, you'll get a Broadway Musical!
Henry Dashwood: I'm not explaining this very well, am I?
Daphne Reynolds: No, not really. But I'm having fun watching you try.
Clarissa: [Sees Daphne fall over the wall] Did you see that?
Glynnis Payne: What?
Clarissa: An impossibly large bird falling off that wall.
Glynnis Payne: Are you hallucinating?
[Waves her hand in front of her face]
Glynnis Payne: [Takes a bite of her eggs] These eggs are positively glacial. When I run this house, senile servants will be the first thing to go.
Clarissa: You'd have to get around the old bat somehow. She'd never allow it.
Jocelyn Dashwood: [Enters the room] Anyone seen my pruning shears? The old bat seems to have forgotten where she put them.
Henry Dashwood: So are you and Daphne
Ian: Yeah, we're eloping. I know it's rather sudden but after last night, there was no going back.
Henry Dashwood: You are joking aren't you?
Ian: Yes, of course. -

That would be really hard to pick a favorite quote because there are a lot that I like.
Of course the classic that everyone seems to love, "Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you're born to stand out?"
I love the one when Daphne and Libby are at that wedding early on and Libby says, "I love you a million swedish fish" and then Daphne replies, "I love you a million red m&m's". That just sounds so cute to me!
I like the one from Glynnis when she's talking to Henry about Daphne over tea and she tries to silence Clarissa and says, "Put a cork in it Clarrisa!" and Clarissa just says, "Maybe somebody should have put a cork in it seventeen years ago!" Classic!
I just found this quote in the quotes section at imdb, but I don't remember seeing it in the movie and I've seen it a lot! Armistead's friend says, "I'd let her dump tea in my harbor anytime." That's awfully funny but I don't remember that!
The key to a long life is exotic women and cheese that doesn't smell. -

Mine would have to be the when Henry meets Ian.
Henry: So you and Daphne are
Ian: going to elope? Yeah. I know it's sudden and all, but after last night there's no going back.
Henry: (long pause) You're joking.
