What's your favorite line from Life of Brian?

"Monty Python's Life of Brain" (1979) also known as "Life of Brian" is a satirical film by the Monty Python comedy troupe about a man who is born at the same time as (and next door to)
Jesus, and whose life parallels his.


Choosing one "favorite line" from Life of Brian is a hard task for me...there are so many great lines in that movie; but I'll go with:
"All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

5. The graffiti correction scene.

John Cleese is correcting some guy's Latin "People named Romani, they go to the house?"
when the graffiti writer is trying to write "Romans Go Home".

As a former Latin student I find it hilarious.

“STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.
REG: What?!
LORETTA: It's my right as a man.
JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA: I want to have babies.
REG: You want to have babies?!
LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
REG: But... you can't have babies.
LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.
REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!”
