Bill Shankly (late, great Liverpool Manager) was being presented with Manager of the Year award. Billy Bremner spend about 5 minutes telling everyone why Shankly was the worthy winner.

Shanks appeared, took the trophy and said "Thank's Billy. I deserve it" then walked off stage to the applause of his own team and stunned silence everwhere else. Priceless.

Kim C: I always liked Stonewall's. R E Lee said, "Strike the tent", (or something close) which is a little more of this earth than SJ's.

On the lighter side, I always liked Dale and Roy's exit line:

"Happy Trails to you...until we meet again."

Gnu, That line was from the 1965 Blake Edwards movie "The Great Race". It was spoken by the evil Baron Von Shtuppe (played by Ross Martin) as he ducks out of the duel with Leslie (Tony Curtis) when it becomes evident he's losing. He leaps to the open window sill in the high tower which overlooks the moat 50 or 60 feet below and throws his sword at Leslie.

Leslie: (parrying the sword away easily) "Running away Baron?"
Von Shtuppe: "A very wise Englishman once said He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day Farewell, Leslie. I have a boat waiting."

Then the Baron dives out the window and crashes through the middle of the rowboat waiting below, splintering it to kindling.

Still love that movie. A Classic.


Another great exit line:

"Here's a quarter. Go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face! Good day to you,madam."

Cluin... I KNEW it was The Great Race ! However, about all I can remember for sure these days is not to trust my memory.

"Where's your sprirt of adventure?", I said to my ex, who did not want to cross the brook in my 4X4 pickup. After six hours of me cutting trees, digging and jacking, we walked 8 km, including a shortcut through a swamp, before we met a fishing party. She never really liked the woods after that. And I've never been stuck again.

Cluin, it's true that the line in question was from "The Great Race" but it was used as a comic tribute to "The Prisoner of Zenda" where the villain, played by James Mason, says, "I shall live to fight another day.", as he leaps from a castle window to avoid swordplay with Stewart Granger.
Legendary folksinger, George Britton, used to torture his kids with gems like "Hasta Lumbego". That they still speak to him is a wonder.

According to Arthur Bryant, Pitt the Younger's last words were "Oh, my country! How I leave my country!"

Mind you, Bryant would always put out the best version for a Tory.

i like Puck's speech at the end of midsummer night's dream

how about orlando gibbons (not really an exit line, just a poem):

The silver swan, who living had no note
When death approached unlocked her silent throat
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore
Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more
Farewell all joys; O death, come close mine eyes
More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise
