"Yeah, was he there? What did he say, did he-- a load of lies? Did he lay on the charm? What? What's wrong? What are you looking at? Who the fuck are you to judge me? You know nothing about me!"
I may be alone in this, but this is the greatest performance in a movie to my eyes. These few lines right here, speeding through them, trying to keep the one tether she has to a normal life, trying to will it into existence, trying to go back to sixty seconds previous when an approximation of it was within her grasp and she could almost be happy. Desperation has never been conveyed so well as in these few lines.

Another classic:
"Oh, very well, if that is your decision. By the way, I'm taking the liberty of having your daughter brought here. I would spend many a sleepless night if anything unfortunate were to befall her."

Literally everything that Alan Ruck says here. "I'm a plant that grows on rocks and lives off insects that die inside of me."

I've always loved Anthony Michael Hall's delivery of "You're so conceited Claire, you're so conceited" in The Breakfast Club. Feels so goddamn real.

Something more classy:
"Serif Ali, So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people - greedy, barbarous, and cruel, as you are."
Everything O'Toole says in that scene is delivered most effectively... even an earlier "why?!" (as to the reasion his companion had to be killed)

This classic has a ton, but I'll choose three:
"Please there's no other way...you're not gonna get a divorce, we're not ANIMALE"
"Brrrrrrrrrrrr you wanna see helicopters, come on I'll show you helicopters, come on...Brrrrrrrrreewwwwoooooo...I'll show ya helicopters"
"I got the two of em coming over the house every day commiserating the two of em'..I CANT HAVE IT.....i can't have it..chaknoweehhhehh... I can't do it anymoreahhhehuuee..eehhhhh..can't do it.."

Every Tim Meadows line reading in Walk Hard is genius. I think I might nominate him for it.
