The Fifth Element
Here are a couple quotes from The Fifth Element which i found fast-paced and funny. It hosted an amazing cast with witty-quick lines. This scene is with Korben (Bruce Willis) talking on the phone with his mother. (Unknown voice-over actor)



[Korben is arguing with his mother on the phone]
Korben's Mother: Oh, I get it. You wanna make your only mother to beg. Is that it?
Korben Dallas: No, I don't wanna make you beg. All I want is an explanation. Look, I just got in. I just smashed my cab, I lost my job, I got mugged. Besides that, everything's peachy. Thanks for asking. Now will you just settle down and explain this to me calmly.
Korben's Mother: Oh, so you don't know you won a trip to Fhloston Paradise for two for 10 days? And I suppose you'll just leave me on the lunar surface to freeze my ass off?
Korben Dallas: If I'd won a trip, I'd know about it. Somebody would've notified me.
[a message drops in his tube]
Korben's Mother: Corben, they've been blaring your name on the radio for the last hour, you big ape.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[just getting into his hotel room, the phone rings and its his mother on the other line]
Korben's Mother: You miserable bastard! I never should've pushed you out.
Korben Dallas: Ma?
Korben's Mother: Oh, so you don't know you won a trip to Fhloston Paradise for two for 10 days? I was in labor for days, and this is how you repay me? I should've just gotten a robot.
Korben Dallas: Come on, Ma.
Korben's Mother: Don't "come on, Ma" me. I should be there, not you! I need a tan! I need a cocktail!
