I don't know about you guys, but my theatre has about a zillion weird things that people once said and we now quote over and over and over again. A few include:
"BECAUSE HE WAS A BUTT PIRATE!"
The story behind this is we were in competition in an Oscar Wilde quiz and my theatre teacher was asked why Oscar Wilde went to jail. He went to jail for sodomy. This was her answer. There were donuts at stake.
"What are we doin' here Grace?"
This is probably one of those "you had to be there things" but this was a line in our fall show, Radium Girls, and it's in a really depressing break up scene between to main girl and guy, because the girl is dying of radiation poisoning. But during final dress when the lead guy got to this line he turned around and in the biggest hick accent you can imagine screams this line. We all just died.
"Yay, sunset!"
This was something I said in a moment of not thinking. It's become a phrase associated with anything excited within my class now.
How about you, any weird quotes?

"We gotta go upstairs and get those corpses off the line and hang up some new bodies."
- A common lighting quote that scared the pirate out of the lower classmen and actors... and anyone else within earshot that might have been wandering the halls.

"Would you lace my shoe?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"O_O?"
None of the underclassmen would get this, really, but it's pretty amusing to us seniors. We were watching Oliver! and realized that Bet more or less came out of nowhere in "I'd Do Anything", so we decided that nobody in Fagin's gang actually has a clue who she is.

"Amy, did you...tell Jo?"
"Tell me what?"
"I effed** you sister!"
Basically our interpretation of a modern day version of the scene right before "The Most Amazing Thing" from Little Women. Another "you had to be there" moment.
**Censored**

"In the car, he's walking very slowly. He's got a whiplash. The seatbelt went right around his neck, and pulled him straight up. I left him dangling."
-Claire Ganz, Rumor
Lol, that line sounds funny to me.

We've got some here. Let's see...
"Boys don't care 'bout color"
"...nope"
- From Vanities last fall. Our first night on the stage went TERRIBLY wrong. None of the actors could remember their lines so there would just be long pauses, then one of them would try to throw out some line they DID remember, even if it wasn't the right place for it. The one section of act two is about how the one girl is getting married and her friends don't like the color she picked for the bridesmaid gowns. The line is suppose to be something like, "Boys just don't care about color." "No the don't-" and the line goes on. Well the one actress just fished out the first line, but the other knew it wasn't at that part so she just responded by shaking her head and in a real funny voice went, "...nope."
"Hey BUDDAY! Wanna write a show!"
- I was not here for this, but I was told of it's origins. We still use the phrase today. I guess on Merrily We Roll Along they had this painfully long cue to cue. At one point late into the night the actors started to get looping. I quess there is the line "Hey buddy, you wanna write a show?" or something at all the actors were around the piano waiting for a cue to be written and the one guy just picked up the phone and said the line in a really funny voice into it. Everyone laughed, then he started to play the piano singing it in the voice. The phrase took off and we use it like daily now.
"Strong!"
- Ever see the movie Scary Movie 2? The bulter? With his deformed hand that he called his 'strong hand.' Well somewhere along line we turned that hand and that word into our own thing. Strong is hard to explain. When some thing it just so.... whatever it is, it's just STRONG! It's not a good thing, nor is it a bad thing, it can be both. It's just so overwelming that it deserves to be called something else.

Before every show in my high school it's a tradition to say "If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right" which took me forever to realize that it was a double entendre.
Then it became a tradition to say "Let's ******** this puppy", which stuck a lot faster than the other one. Probably because it makes less sense. And it contains the ******** word.

" Youve been Glitterfied!"
This happened to be said by our filler (just someone that fill in for people) while working a chior concert. Our Sound manager sat on the dancing stage and when he got up he was cotted in glitter.
