I am writing a book and I just want as many people to help me out as I can get. I have a character in my book, who is supposed to be an overly sarcastic person and always has something smart to say to everything that she is ever heard from anyone she did not like. Like, I just want something funny to have in my book.
If you have ever watched Rseanne, then you will understand what I mean. darlene is the character I am referring to. I want some original stuff, like on time I saw a girl walk into the bathroom while Darlene was dying her hair and ask her "What are you doing?"
Darlene just raises her foot and says"Interpretive dance."
It was funny, and I am looking for more things to put down and if your smart comment only works with a certain question then just put them both down. I have been working really hard on this, I am just running out of ideas. Please help my demented, yet funny character have more things to say in my book.

Some of my other fav quotes:
Darlene:SHUT UP DJ! OR ELSE!
DJ:Or else what?
Darlene:or I'll bury under the porch with the rest of our brothers.
also,
Darlene:Mom, what are you eating?
Rosanne:A loose meat sandwich, they are our new weapon to making money at the luchbox.
Darlene:Oh great, now people are paying to have their narrow veins and arteries clooted with the soggy fat andskin of poor defensless animals. Have fun eating that animals face.

Tears are just running down my face -- do you know how often a smart alec or smart a** gets invited to answer a question? Not very damn often, I can tell you that! There's such prejudice in this world.
OK, you might try watching some Marx Brothers movies -- there are a lot of ideas there that you might be able to twist for modern times.
And another idea is to tune into your inner snark -- before bed, drink a bottle of soda and eat three pickled herrings. Place a notebook and a WORKING pen (better make that two; never can find a working pen when you need it) next to your bed. As you fall asleep, visualize your smart-a$$ character and the situation she is in. Don't try and work on any speech now, just visualize her anger and creativity. Then, fall asleep, perchance to dream.
When you wake up, run through your dreams quickly, then write as fast as you can to catch any good dialogue.
Try this three nights in a row. If your stomach can handle it.
(-: And good luck! We need more laughter in the world.

I was busy talking to myself, please don't interrupt.
Depending on the nature of the story: Please don't take leak/dump, for God's sakes, LEAVE it!!
One of my favorites that might lead to some ideas for you is from an old Benny Hill episode. In the skit, his apparent wife gets done putting on her make up, looks up and says "Ah, that's better." To which Benny replies: "Than What?"
Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving.

Questions that I have enjoyed being a&&holey in answering....
My Sister: Can I ask you a stupid question?
Me: Better than anyone I know.
Customer at kinko's: Melissa, can you help me out?
Me: I'd love to sir, which way did you come in?
Another customer: How stupid do you think I am?
Me: I don't know. How stupid can one person be?

Bit--! (you say that like it's a bad thing)
That's funny, but looks aren't everything.
You've got a point there, keep your hat on and it won't show.

Creativity comes in spurts, huh?
Put it away for a few days, ponder it, and then get back to it. I'd give you a few one-liners, but I'm a tired smart a*s right now.

show us what your character is confronted with to better help us respond. my most used response is "Do I look like I care?"
If someone calls me a b itch I ask "and your point is?"
