Lietenant Antoine: I am Antoine, Lieutenant of this Beast-hunting brigade. And you, Sir, are without a doubt the storied beast! The size of an ox, with black horns and fangs as sharp as a wolf's. A monster terrible enough to send chills down the spine of a grown man... Prepare to face divine, ironclad justice!
Beast: Say, old man, how would you like if I judged YOU based on your looks? Or am I right to assume you're just a mustachioed, out-of-shape clerk playing soldier who can't actually fight a damn?
Lieutenant Antoine: Why, you!! You stooped to insults, I see!
Beast: You started it! Do these look like horns to you? They're my ears, asshole!

Carol: So what have you been doing besides studying, Scott?
Scott Summers: Well, on my off time, I've saved the world a couple of times from evil mutants. I joined a cult and then overthrew its leader because he was badly mistreating his people. That, of course, is after the head of the cult tried to sacrifice me to a demon. After I overthrew the old leader, the members of the cult voted me their leader. I made everyone get jobs and outlawed human sacrifice. I helped them fix up their boarding house and open a soup kitchen for the homeless in its basement. I also organized a band for them, and they're playing at the children's hospital cancer ward benefit next month. Other than that, not much; it's been a slow month.
Carol: (to Xavier) He's learning to express a sense of humor.

"Right. Should have, should have. That's a really useful phrase, isn't it, Carol? Bound to be a million uses for it. I should have gone to college. I should have been a working wife. I should have this, I should have that. I should have won ten million dollars in the lottery. But you know what, Carol? I didn't."
Marie Danvers, A Prize for Three Empires

Dan Turpin: Then call him and tell him to get his big blue bod to my precinct, on the double. Orion and his boys are back. And I don't want any more of my turf torn up like it was last time they were here. So get him here, so they can get out. Got it?
Jimmy Olsen: Uh. Orion? The guy from the New Gods?
Dan Turpin: No, I mean Paddy O'Ryan from County Cork. Of course, it's Orion from the New Gods! Now do it! Goodbye.

Kara: Something wrong, Mr. Giles?
Giles: I was just reflecting on some truly horrible movies that I used to watch as a child. Mostly, we saw them on TV... we had "Creature Features" in Britain, too. They must’ve been made in the Fifties and early Sixties. Monsters or aliens would land in a small town, a bunch of teenagers would be the only ones who knew about it, and they’d be forced to defeat the monster. Then they’d go back and hit the malt shop afterwards. When I got out of my youth, I thought those were the stupidest movies I’d ever seen. And now, God help me, it seems they’re a preparatory text for my life.

Merlin: Okay, seriously, can you stop it with the snark?! It's funny when it's someone else getting it, but I can't say I enjoy being on the receiving end!

"Lex Luthor's attempt to win the presidency the old-fashioned way... by buying it, seems to be picking up steam. New polls show that 22% of Americans now support his third party bid.

Alfred: Brown sugar instead of white, fresh-cut lemon. A china cup. Perhaps master would like some warm mixed nuts and a moist hand towel.

"Really?" I exclaimed, amazed. Then, seized by doubt, I added, "But the Baptist was executed at a more advanced age!"
"The other skull must be in another treasury," William said, with a grave face. I never understood when he was jesting. In my country, when you joke you say something and then you laugh very noisily, so that everyone shares the joke. But William laughed only when he said serious things, and remained very serious when he was presumably joking.

"Did you eat a rulebook?" Finnah asks archly.
"They're delicious as a chiffonade with lemon juice," Amaia says. And she says this exactly the same way she says everything else, not even slightly giggling at her own joke, so it takes Finnah a tick to laugh.

Clarkson: [standing in front of the Mercedes' boot] Are you ready for this?
[Clarkson pushes a button and the boot lid closes]
May: That's brilliant, actually, I have to concede that, because what I've always found really difficult is this. [closes the boot lid by hand]

Frasier: When was the last time you had an unexpressed thought?
Niles: I'm having one now.

Cylon Pilot: I really think you should take a look at the other battlestar.

Charlie: I don't pay you to insult me!
Berta: You'd have to pay me not to.

Your brain is so minute, Baldrick, that if a hungry cannibal cracked your head open, there wouldn’t enough inside to cover a small water biscuit.
Edmund Blackadder, Blackadder

Woman: There are two things you must know about the wise woman. One... she is a woman. And two... she is...
Blackadder: Wise?
Woman: You do know her, then?
Blackadder: No, no, just a wild stab in the dark. Which, is incidentally what you'll be getting if you don't start being a bit more helpful.

Alistair, Dragon Age: Origins

Sten: Interesting strategy. Tell me, do you intend to keep going north until it becomes south and attack the Archdemon from the rear?
Warden: It'll never see this coming.
Sten: Truly, it would surprise me if my enemy counter-attacked by running away and climbing a mountain.

Morrigan: I do not fear the moon so I need stories so that I may sleep at night.
Leliana: So...you don't believe in any higher power at all? Doesn't that get lonely?

Leliana: ...you appear to be mocking me.
Morrigan: You noticed!? Your powers of perception know no bounds!

Wynne: Have you given any thought to your future, Shale?
Shale: I was thinking I might, oh, join the Chantry. Become Divine. And have giant Andraste golems fashioned to conquer the lands!
Wynne: Truly?
Shale: No-ooo.

Shale: I have a question it may be able to answer, elder mage.
Wynne: Must it always be "elder mage?" I am not a wizened old crone just yet.
Shale: Would it prefer "mage well past her prime, don't mind the sagging bits?"

Teagan: It's... Tomas, yes? And who are these people with you? They are obviously not simple travelers.
The Red Prince: (after spotting a large pool of water) I fancy a swim.
Sebille: You need a bath

Jolee Bindo: Thank you. It takes effort to be properly irreverent at my age.

Walton Simons: You take another step forward, and here I am again, like your own reflection repeated in a hall of mirrors.
JC Denton: That makes me one ugly son of a bitch. How'd my face get all marked-up with bioelectrics?

Agent Milton: You're a wanted man, Mr. Morgan. There's five thousand dollars for your head, alone.
Arthur Morgan: Five thousand dollars? For me? (Beat) Can I turn myself in?

Suicide: It's just getting interesting, albeit in a car-wreck-reminiscent way, and you chicken out of the Duty? What does that make you?

Unicron: I have summoned you here for a purpose.
Megatron: Nobody summons Megatron!
Unicron: Then it pleases me to be the first.

Scammer: Maybe you've never been led into a deadly trap before, but the correct response should be "Ah! No! Spare us!"
