Films -- Animated

Oogway: I see you have found the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
(Po turns around, revealing his face stuffed with peaches)
Po: (mouth full) Is that what this is? I am so sorry! I thought it was just a regular peach tree!
Oogway: I understand. You eat when you are upset.
Po: Upset? I'm not upset. What makes you think I'm upset?
Oogway: (beat) So, why are you upset?
Po: (sigh) I probably sucked more today more than anyone in the history of kung-fu. In the history of China! In the history of sucking!

Films -- Live-Action

Fandral: Our dearest friend banished, Loki on the throne, Asgard on the brink of war, yet you've managed to consume four wild boar, six pheasant, a side of beef, and two casks of ale. Shame on you! Don't you care?
Volstagg: Do not mistake my appetite for apathy!
Thor

Live-Action TV

Grace: You ate the cookies?!
Robert: Of course I did! I was a repressed man and I needed an eatlet!

Maxwell Sheffield: Margaret? It's a little late for you, isn't it?
Maggie: (annoyed) I'm home, okay? So lay off me. You're the last person I have to answer to.
Maxwell: (shocked) Where did that come from? You get back down here, young lady! No! She's not gonna get away with speaking to me like that!
Fran Fine: (gently) Now, wait. Let her just calm down a little bit.
Maxwell: What do you mean, her calm down? What about me?
Fran: You're just gonna have to deal with it. Look, when I hit puberty, my mother was a size 6. When I hit 18, so did she.

I gained all this weight out of love, not hate
I've got so much love to give, give me a break
I'd love to sleep in late, but that dessert looks great
Was it something I said or was it something I ate?
Barenaked Ladies, "Stomach vs. Heart"

Machias: So, regarding your most recent use of funds... Pancakes, cream puffs, eclairs, tarts, pudding, macarons, tiramisu, waffles, bundt cakes... Are you running a bakery?
Marquis Ballad: AHEM! A fine post-meal dessert is an unshakable nobility tradition.
Machias: Well, nobility or otherwise... I'm pretty sure that many treats in such a short span goes well beyond a 'post-meal dessert.' Not to be rude, but might I suggest showing a bit more self-restraint? You really must watch your blood sugar at your age...
Marquis Ballad: IMPUDENCE! With the kind of stress I deal with on a day-to-day basis, I need sweets to keep my head on straight!
Machias: I didn't realize you were so stressed...

Buster: Well, that's it, we've lost for sure now. Might as well get something to eat!
Francine: Eat?! You just had six pies!
Buster: I feel empty inside...
