Thanks, StudFilmGeekDuck, for the answer to my 'on the QT/hush-hush' question!  Now, what about that one involving a married man and mascara?!   ;D

I do believe the "mascara" quote is from The Apartment.

And as for memorable quotes from Crash, there is one quote that my friend and I always thought was really hilarious and we'll periodically say it and get a good laugh out of it.

The quote being Matt Dillon's Academy Award nominated performance when he says, "Shaniqua?  Big fuckin' surprise, that is!"

As Lee pointed out, Jerry McGuire has two:

"Show me the money."

"You had me at hello."

Well, given that CRASH had more profanity then practically any other movie released in 2005, I think it would be hard to find a phrase from CRASH that would make the official Oscar poster suitable for office framing.  ;)   

I saw the AFI special on the 100 most memorable movie lines. I won the bet with a coworker as a I said #1 was going to be "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."  She thought it was going to be a line from Casablanca.

I got to see The Apartment this past summer in The Hollywood Cemetery (weekly movies in the cemetery during the summer). It was amazing. Young Jack Lemmon was adorable, and young Shirley MacLaine was absolutely captivating. I highly recommend this film.
