Priceless!
Not meaning to divert but rhubarb is yum with Vienetta Ice Cream (vanilla log with bits of hard chocolate going through it) and cream or custard.
There was a cartoon called Rhubarb and Custard (think they were a cat and dog). Richard Briers did the voice (him of The Good Life).
sorry, back to Jack! He had some brilliant lines and movies!

You've got some great choices there, for sure. Particularly the line about the waitress holding the chicken between her knees; that's one of the greatest movie lines by anyone, ever. BUT, a lot of those really should be credited to the writers, not to the actor who happened to deliver them.
A couple of my favorite Jack Nicholson lines that would otherwise be throwaway dialogue, except for his delivery:
The Shining: "See? It's okay. He saw it on TV."
The Witches of Eastwick: "Clean the house? Just gets dirty."
Now, you look at those lines, in text, and they are absolutely unremarkable. A big yawn and a waste of screen time. But when Jack Nicholson delivers them, they are both trenchant and knee-slapping funny. That's his gift: his persona takes over, and the lines, good or bad, become Jack Nicholson lines.

The Shining right? It is "Here's Johnny", in reference to theopening of an American Talk show. The writers do not take in to consideration that the movie is shown world wide, and some of the lines
are lost on most people.

''Go sell crazy someplace else''
from the movie: As Good As It Gets.

To me that scene is classic Jack Nicholson and the best he has ever done...definitely my favorite.
I've certainly enjoyed all of his movies starting when he was a fopish aid to Peter Lorre in a horror movie with Vincent Price. That was the first time I ever saw him but I've followed his movie career with much pleasure.

"Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to".
Ack. A Few Good Men
Albeit, rather arrogant and over-zelaous in the ego stakes, much truth was spoken, perhaps?

No. But I kneed an overzealous date, directly in his family jewels one night, to get him off me during a full moon. Does that count?
