I’m doing this from memory, so the exact quote may be a little off.

SE7EN- in the car, heading out of town to the final big scene-

Mills- “Wait- I thought all you did was kill innocent people”.
John Doe- “Innocent? Is that supposed to be funny? An obese man, a disgusting man who could barely stand up, a man who if you spotted him on the street, you’d point him out to your friends so they could join you in mocking him, a man who when you saw him you couldn’t even finish your meal. After him, I picked the lawyer, and you guys must have been secretly thanking me for that one. This was a man who dedicated his life to making money by lying with every breath that he could muster to keep murderers and rapists on the streets.
A woman who was so ugly on the inside that she couldn’t bear to go on living if she couldn’t be beautiful on the outside. A drug dealer- a drug dealing pederast, actually. Let’s not forget the disease spreading whore. Only in a world this shitty can you say these were innocent people, and keep a straight face.”

Fantastic scene- one of my favorites in any film.

Someone on another thread mentioned the film Ruthless People, which jogged my memory of a classic exchange-

Sam Stone, on the phone- “Debbie? Yeah, Debbie’s here. Who’s this? (pause) Well, Ralph, Debbie can’t talk right now. My &$@/‘s in her mouth. I’ll have her call you back when I’m done.” He hangs up the phone, and with a big grin on his face, he says to a cop, “I love wrong numbers.”

Frankly, my dear...I don't give a damn.
Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
I think of a man...and I take away reason and accountability.
Two tears in a bucket, mother f#$k it.
...but some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?

Yes the quote from As Good As It Gets is a good one. A great screenplay.

Another memorable line from the film-
Melvin- “You make me want to be a better man”.

I have long feared...that my sins would return to haunt me. And the cost is more than I can bear.
