"What are you doing here?"
"This is my apartment. I live here. What are YOU doing here?"
Kevin Kline's delivery totally makes it.
One of my favorites from The Dark Tower series:
"I really hate it when you start up with that Zen Buddhist shit, Roland."
"Who is this man Zen Buddhist? Is he wise like me?"
And I'm surprised no one has busted out Ghostbusters yet.
"Hey! Where do these stairs go?"
"They go up."
"We should split up."
"Yeah. We can do more damage that way."
"What the hell are you, some sort of cosmonaut?"
"No, we're exterminators. Someone saw a cockroach up on twelve."
"Must be some cockroach!"
"Bite your head off, man."

I know somebody have the first quote in his sig, but anyway:
Kallor said: "I walked this world when the T'lan Imass were but children. I have commanded armies a hundred thousand strong. I have spread my wrath like fire across continents, and sat alone upon tall thrones. Do you grasp the significance of this?"
"Yes," said Caladan Brood, "you never learn."
'Tell me, Tool, what dominates your thoughts?'
The Imass shrugged before replying. 'I think of futility, Adjunct.'
'Do all Imass think about futility?'
'No. Few think at all.'
'Why is that?'
The Imass leaned his head to one side and regarded her. 'Because, Adjunct, it is futile.'

"I really hate it when you start up with that Zen Buddhist shit, Roland."
"Who is this man Zen Buddhist? Is he wise like me?"
What makes that work is that you can't quite tell if Roland's taking the piss or not. But the greatest comeback in that series is still simply the "Fuck you." to Blaine.

I don't recall this one exactly, as it's from a book not on my shelf, but this is from John C. Wright's Golden Age series. But this at least gets the spirit across.
It's basically a transhuman post-scarcity world, in which humans and super-AIs have basically been without any real threat for thousands of years.
One particular person in this world, Atkins, is "the soldier." It's his job to protect civilization from outside attack and internal violent conflict. He's been doing this for thousands of years, and is largely regarded as not really needed. At one point, the protagonist brings this up.
Phaeton: "But how do you justify yourself, given that in all this time we've never had the sort of conflict it's your job to deal with?"
Atkins: "And why do you suppose that is?"
Got another one. One of my favourite Red Dwarf comebacks.
Cat: "It's coming right at us! Put up the deflector shields!"
Kryten: "An excellent plan, sir, with only two small flaws. Firstly, we don't have any deflector shields, and secondly, we don't have any deflector shields. I realise that technically speaking that's only one flaw, but it was such a biggie I thought it was worth mentioning twice."
