One of my all-time favorites, although there are too many to count, comes from Blazing Saddles, and HAD to have been written by RP:
"They said you was hung!"
"And they was right!"
There was a conversation on the Imus show day before yesterday, after Imus had said that George Carlin was going to be on the show, about who the greatest comic of all time was. The first name that came up was, of course, Richard Pryor. Carlin was mentioned, along with guys like Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce, Rodney Dangerfield, but the first name mentioned, rightly so, was THE MAN RP!!!
