Answer: Drowned under me
This quote comes from Sugar (played by Marilyn Monroe) and Junior aka Joe/Josephine/Shell Oil Junior (played by Tony Curtis) in the delightful 1958 comedy "Some Like It Hot" during one of their several conversations. The film relates the tale of two musicians in a speakeasy (Curtis - and Jack Lemmon as Jerry/Gerald/Daphne) who witness the mafia bump off members of a rival gang. Fleeing for their lives, they disguise themselves as two rather grim looking women, and join an all girls band heading south on a train to Miami. The lovely Sugar is the singer and ukulele player in the band. This movie, nominated as the best comedy of all time, is extremely entertaining. The two musicians, who both have fallen for Sugar, find it very difficult to maintain their guises as women under the circumstances.

"Bring It On" stars Eliza Dushku as Missy. The movie is about high school cheerleaders making their way to Nationals. Missy and head cheerleader, Torrance, are from the Rancho Carne Toros and they have to battle an equally talented squad in the East Compton Clovers.

I would say that Eliza has a really memorable performance in this movie, but a lot of her fans know her as Faith the Vampire Slayer from the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" television series.

The 1991 film "What About Bob" stars Bill Murray as the extremely annoying patient, Bob Wiley, of a smug and self-satisfied psychiatrist, Dr Leo Marvin (played by Richard Dreyfuss). Bob has assorted mental health issues - or, as in the above quote, imagines them anyway - and believes he cannot be helped. However, he feels so good after an introductory session with Dr Leo, that he follows the doctor and his family to where they have gone for a month's vacation. What ensues is an hilarious tale of poor Dr Leo trying everything he can to get rid of the very annoying Bob, and slowly being driven over the edge in the attempt. The ending is absolutely hilarious as Dr Leo, now completely insane, attempts to cure Bob with "death therapy" - but I won't ruin it for you.
The quote in this question is from Bob after Dr Leo has attempted to have him committed. Bob, however, is quickly released because of the ease and humour he displays to the staff of the hospital as he tells them therapy jokes, such as the one above.

This quote (from Jamie Lee Curtis to Kevin Kline) comes from the hilarious 1988 comedy, "A Fish Called Wanda", starring John Cleese as an initially stuffy upper-class British solicitor, Archie Leach; Jamie Lee Curtis as con-artist supreme, Wanda Gershwitz (after whom an important fish is named); the brilliant Kevin Kline as the British hating, definitely moronic, strong arm, Otto West, and Michael Palin as Ken Pile, a stuttering, animal loving, right hand man for a gangster, George. Throw a huge jewel heist into the mix, and in a tale of cross, double-cross and double double-cross, Wanda and Otto betray George but can't find the jewels or the key to where they've been moved, Wanda seduces Archie who is hired to defend George, to see if he knows - but falls in love with him instead - Otto falls out with everyone and swallows Ken's pet goldfish as he tortures him to find the location of the key - and on it goes. You'll have to watch this very funny movie for yourself to see what happens next. One of the finale highlights though, is Ken's maniacal shouting of "R-r-r-venge! R-r-r-venge!" as he drives an extremely slow moving steamroller towards Otto, who is trapped in wet cement - before his stutter disappears forever. Makes me laugh every time.
The above quote comes from Wanda, during an argument with the incredibly stupid Otto - who fancies himself as an intellectual.
