I say Alec Baldwin's monologue or Pacino telling off Kevin Spacey in Glengarry Glen Ross. Also, pretty much any scene in Pulp Fiction with Samuel L. Jackson, although there are those who consider Pulp Fiction a comedy.

"Mark: Admit it, Ray. You've never liked farming.
Ray: That's not true.
Mark: It is true. You don't know the first thing about farming.
Ray: Yes I do. I know a lot about farming. I know more than you think I know.
Mark: Then how could you plow under your major crop?
Ray: What's a crop?"
"This is my corn. You people are guests in my corn."
"Archie Graham: Hey ump, how 'bout a warning?
Umpire: Sure, kid. Watch out you don't get killed."
"Nice to meet you, I'm the Easter Bunny"
"Ray: So what do you want?
Terence Mann: I want them to stop looking to me for answers, begging me to speak again, write again, be a leader. I want them to start thinking for themselves. I want my privacy!
Ray: No, I mean, what do you WANT?
[Gestures to the concession stand they're in front of.]
Terence Mann: Oh. Dog and a beer."
"Ray Kinsella: Ok, the last interview he ever gave was in 1973. Guess what it's about.
Anni Kinsella: Some kind of team sport."
