So many to choose frombut mine is the speech Mrs. Croft makes to George toward the end:
"and furthermore, if you lose your little girl it's because you're a dreary, inadequate drunken old bag! Look at yourself, you pathetic old dyke!"
This bit still makes me sit up and stare when I hear it, not because I agree with it(I don't), but because of the hitherto unsuspected venom and spite with which Coral Browne delivers it. Earlier in the scene Browne dismisses a florist's greeting card with the words "How vulgar!", but you can't get much more vulgar than calling someone you've just had fired from her job "a pathetic old dyke".

Not all of the girls are raving, bloody lesbians, you know," George replies, "That is a misfortune that I am well aware of."
MERCY CROFT
People are always telling me how cheerful you look, riding around on your bike.
GEORGE
Well, you'd look cheerful too with fifty cubic centimeters throbbing away between your legs!
Croft: George may have contributed to the shows rise in popularity, and she may have given it the best years of her career, but shes reached an age where shes expendable and her prospects after the show are bleak.
GEORGE
I'm going to give the people what they really want -commercials!
enhance!
GEORGE
Moo. Moo! MOOOOOO

I had only seen Coral Browne as Vera Charles from Auntie Mame before this. To hear deliver those lines was a shock! Damn good actress!
