Mr. Simpson, don't take your anger out on me!

Mmm… open-faced club sand wedge…

Hey, if it fits down your throat, it's edible! No exceptions.

Oh please, the recipe as presented in the episode is perfectly cromulent.

Yeah, humans are really soooo great.

Yeah, but, Alien Jesus, if the internet mashes up Star Wars and the Beatles, the Beatles don't eat the commenters.

It's a shame the pop culture tides have broken the way they have, because Party Down South would be a pretty good name for a Prince reality TV show.

The love story is really the worst part of the movie, because it's completely unmotivated (despite "love" being the fifth element in question). They end up together because the script dictates that it is so.

To be fair, Gaston seemed to be illiterate as well, so maybe he just wanted someone who could relate to him.

Leelo's a weird case- she's definitely portrayed as innocent and naive to a degree at the beginning of the movie (see: her changing in front of Bruce Willis and Ian Holm with no hesitation or sense of shame), but she also slaps Corbin around when he tries to kiss her, which shows a sense of bodily autonomy.
