Tony Stark: You got a family?
Yinsen: Yes, and I will see them when I leave here. And you, Stark?
Tony Stark: [quietly] No.

I'm gonna go WAY off the beaten Classic Quotes path here, to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen -- the dialogue wasn't much to write home about, but it had one line that was so funny it knocked me out of my chair:

Jetfire (a very old Transformer):

Mull that concept over for a while.  :)

Cedric Hardwicke as Sethi: "Have no friend. Trust no woman. "

"Let It Ride"

Richard Dryfuss as "Trotter"  played a  guy who liked to bet on horse races. There's a lot of funny lines in the movie. Trotter's ability to calculate how much a bathroom attendent, and a tip sheet seller can make in a year is funny.

Sorry Joe, Jason is correct. The actual term of endearment Jones uses is "Honey". Were you maybe correcting from memory...? ;)

Well...YouTube just happens to have this little clip, fashioned by a fangirl...that seems to answer the question: 

Wow - is there nothing in this world that can't be answered by YouTube or Wikipedia?

Didn't use either. Just my memory. I have this movie memorized. I'm a geek. It's what I do. 

Movie:
"The Odd Couple"

Quote:
Oscar Madison: Hey wait a minute, wait a minute, the pot's shy. Who didn't put in a quarter?
Murray: You didn't. 
Oscar Madison: You got a big mouth, Murray. Just for that, lend me twenty dollars.
Murray: I just loaned you twenty dollars. Borrow from somebody else, I keep winning my own money back.

"Now that's a ridiculous thing to say." from 'To Catch a Thief.'

A few words about...™ To Catch a Thief

"...those wonderful people out there in the dark"

Norma Desmond -Sunset Blulevard

From Ghostbusters:

Man at Elevator: What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?
Dr. Peter Venkman: No, we're exterminators. Someone saw a cockroach up on twelve.
Man at Elevator: That's gotta be some cockroach.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Bite your head off, man.
Dr Ray Stantz: [Entering elevator] Going up?
Man at Elevator: I'll take the next one.

I always thought the Man at Elevator delivered his lines perfectly.

Great quote...wrong studio :) (GhostBusters was released by Columbia)

From Catch 22:

Yossarian:  Ok, let me see if I've got this straight. In order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy. And I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy anymore, and I have to keep flying.
 
Doc Daneeka:  You got it, that's Catch-22.

Yossarian:  Whoo... That's some catch, that Catch-22.

Doc Daneeka:  It's the best there is.

Ah, I had relied on previous poster using the Ghostbusters.  How about Galaxy Quest:

Gwen DeMarco: What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No, I mean we shouldn't have to do this, it makes no logical sense, why is it here?
Jason Nesmith: 'Cause it's on the television show.
Gwen DeMarco: Well forget it! I'm not doing it! This episode was badly written!

There's a million good ones in Galaxy Quest.
