John Waters is infinitely quotable, here's a few!
Desperate Living:
Peggy Gravel: Go home to your mother! Doesn't she ever watch you? Tell her this isn't some communist daycare center! Tell your mother I hate her! Tell your mother I hate you!
Female Trouble:
Dawn Davenport: I've DONE everything a mother can do: I've locked her in her room, I've beat her with the car aerial. Nothing changes her. It's HARD being a loving mother!
~~~
Gator: I'm straight, I mean I like a lot of queers but I don't dig their equipment, you know. I like women.
Aunt Ida: But you could change. Queers are just better. I'd be so proud if you was a fag and had a nice beautician boyfriend. I'd never have to worry.
Gator: You have nothing to worry about.

Wink: I'm getting a hard-on! Beauty always gives me a hard-on!
Donna Dasher: Aim it the other way then, Wink. You know how I detest organs. Beauty has absolutely nothing to do with that WORD, that THING you have hanging there like an obscene pickle. Spare me your anatomy.
Pink Flamingos:
Babs Johnson: Kill everyone now! Condone first degree murder! Advocate cannibalism! Eat shit! Filth is my politics! Filth is my life!
Serial Mom:
Beverly Sutphin: Are those pussywillows?
Rosemary Ackerman: Dried ones. Aren't they pretty?
Dottie Hinkle: What did you just say?
Beverly Sutphin: [in the stalker voice] Pussywillows, Dottie!
Pecker:
Tina: We're all famous- just like the Jackson family!
Jimmy: Don't say that, Tina.
