If you have any lines that make you quiver, sick, BARF, let it fly. Mine?
"You're my man and you've still got the gun...."
Oh, for God's sake!

Oh, karma for that, Barb! That has to be my all-time, least-favourite, line of Blind Justice dialogue. Makes me shudder every time I see or hear it. Bleck!
Another one that I really don't like is: "I need you, Karen, like the flower needs the rain." (Or sun. Or whatever it was that Jim said.) Actually, I could cope with the "I need you" bit. That was pretty good. But the whole thing got spoiled for my by what came next. (Spew, spew, eeeewwwww!)
Great idea for a thread!

Good idea for a new thread, Barb! I need you, Karen, like the flower needs the rain. That's my favourite  line aswell, Krissie. Makes me flinch. Can't get used to it. |

The mulligan line. To me, when you are being romantic, you don't bring up sports. It's just not done .  |

Hmmmm . . . the Mulligan line to me was about a hamfisted guy reaching out for forgiveness and using the few tools he had. Touch-feelly language was just not in the Jim Dunbar arsenal, for which I, for one, am eternally grateful. Puhsonally? I thought it was sweet.  Okay, let's get down, let's get real, let's get dirty here. How many so-called "barfy" lines came from Mrs. Dunbar?  Top of my list? "You don't need me, you need your dog." That one still makes me cringe. |

One of my least favorite lines was delivered at the dinner party in "Four Feet Under": “Hey, Clay, you go patting at my wife’s crotch, you’re gonna get your arm ripped off.”  That whole scene makes me cringe -- it's so hard to watch. Not one of Our Hero's finer moments. |

I need you, Karen, like the flower needs the rain. This is also my favourite. Not! It's just not a macho male cop line and just doesn't sound like Jim. I'm sure there's more and one that hasn't been said in every post. Give me a while.... |

My least favorite line was that of Letiia,"I was just a vagina to him." JUST plain gross!

This one stuck out from the moment I heard it and has never lost it's ability to make me gag... First the intro to my nomination for the series' most barfable line... "You are a catch..." Nice line really  Then Jim reads his line ( please, please tell me this was in the script and NOT impro'd) "Even a blind man can see that."[/size]
And Karen wonders if her partner was just abducted and replaced by aliens or perchance by some ACME cartoon fetishist:
LOL! |

God I love this!
How about when Christie told Jim "you don't ever have to see that doctor again..."
What is he, five? So patronizing.

I like this line because it was so Christie--to me anyway--"You know, if you're five minutes late, the guy will still be dead!"
I know this is supposed to be barfy lines, but is was very insensitive in a lot of ways. And it is very ugh if you're the dead guy's wife!

I rarel.y watch this episode because of this scene. It's just too ugh. |

The mulligan line. To me, when you are being romantic, you don't bring up sports. It's just not done . I agree, and in fact have spent the best part of 20 years attempting to convey this point, but trying saying that to what we in Oz would describe as a blokey bloke. Trust me, I have (tried). I thought it was TOTALLY in character from what I know of above (blokey blokes), same as the "crotch" thing. And totally with Barb on the "you've still got the gun line". Spew, barf, puke, gross me out etc. Shoot me all of you if I ever even think of saying something like that. Embarrassed for entire gender for that line Matilda |

"you've still got the gun" line. Spew, barf, puke, gross me out etc. Shoot me all of you if I ever even think of saying something like that. Ok , deal, but, um, how will we know you are thinking of saying it? Do you think that would be a valid defence in court? But your honor, she said to shoot her if she thought of saying it and I swear she looked like she was thinking of saying it. I could see her foot lifting up the back there while she gazed into his eyes and fondled his gun...Embarrassed for entire gender for that line Oh yeah! Count me in for a red face. Come on woman! (Christie not any of our refined girls) Get a grip, and don't think he grinned because he liked hearing it, it was pure shock that you would say that. And Don't think he kissed you because he was warming to your verbal foreplay, no no no, he was trying to make sure nothing more came out of your mouth. There I said it.
Okay, okay, he's a bloke, maybe he bought it, just a little bit...Matilda ] |

line aswell, Krissie.
