"WTF" movie dialogue

Some movies manage to have very natural dialogue. Others... not so much.

Below is some dialogue from the movie "Bloodmoon" that I wrote down for a post in my team forum, but I think it deserves to be seen by a wider audience. I'll let the reader decide which category it falls into.
-----------------------------------
Dutch (to his female acquaintance): You find anything?
Killer: She found me... Crutch!
Dutch: The name's Dutch!
Killer: It won't be after tonight....and it's a marvelous night for a moondance.
>The killer proceeds to rip out the girls voice box, Roadhouse style
Dutch (unphased): Okay, let's dance!
-----------------------------------
The stupidest scene EVER was the one in Mitchell where the kid starts repeating everything Joe Don Baker says. I mean, you thought that gag was dumb in grade school?...it's even more impressive on screen!
Two brothers are talking:
Arvid: I just Killed Hanne.
Harald: Hanne... Who the hell Is Hanne?... Why?
Arvid: She came to take the TV!
Harald: Ok... well then..! Where is she?
Arvid: She is at home. In the living room...and in the kitchen.

From a Danish black comedy action movie In China They Eat Dogs (Danish title: I Kina spiser de hunde)
m.imdb.com/title/tt0180748/
Hilarious movie by the way, I recommend watching it.

Not sure if this is the kind of wtf moments your are looking for?, but the movie is packed with these type of lines. Best part is the one brother (Harald) is always so nonchalant, great actor, who also recently played a huge role in The Witcher TV show, alongside Henry Cavill.
>and it's a marvelous night for a moondance.

He's quoting an old song. It's cute. :) Based on imdb, it sounds like the dialogue was hardly the only issue with the movie. I'm not always looking for natural dialogue in a movie, though. For example, the dialogue below is from one of my favorite movies:

Man with Knife: You're a very nosy fellow, kitty cat. Huh? You know what happens to nosy fellows? Huh? No? Wanna guess? Huh? No? Okay. They lose their noses. [slashes Jake's nose]

Man with Knife: Next time you lose the whole thing. Cut it off and feed it to my goldfish.

I am surprised, that you could pick out a single scene in that movie.
All of them were delightfully horrible in the MST3K commentary version. (I haven't seen it without the MST3K commentary)
However I would raise you one Mitchell by the entire movie transcript from "Manos the Hands of Fate"
@Frogster64 I actually have a few Van Morrison albums-- I was just highly concerned about Moondance being used as a threat. It rivaled the bad dialogue of pre-Enter the Dragon kung-fu flicks.
