What's the best ever mini dialog between to movie characters in cinema?

In my opinion it's the one between Danny Ocean and Rusty (on the question of Roman 'How stuck are you?'):

Danny: Stuck.
Rusty: Stalled really.
Danny: Stuck.

and gets the response

"a.m. Very very a.m"

Alternatively, from Loaded Weapon 1

Emilio Estevez: "It's going to take a lot more than one car bomb to get us off this case."
Samuel L Jackson: "Not a hell of a lot more!"
