Most people idolize Andrew Ryan's opening monologue on Rapture in Bioshock, but one of my favorite spiels of his is later:

"Atlas! You can kill me, but you will never have my city. My strength is not in steel and fire, that is what the parasites will never understand. A season for all things! A time to live and a time to die, a time to build... and a time to destroy!

I wrote about a fish turning into the moon.

Portal2. Particularly Wheatley's dialogue; not only is it cleverly written, but his voice actor does a good job at averting Realistic Diction is Unrealistic.

Star Control 2
"Attention interloper! Heed this recorded message! This drone-vessel speaks with the voice and authority of the Ur-Quan."

The use of dialogue and voice acting for SC 2 was near perfect; which is amazing since the 3DO version came out in 1993.

WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A DIALOG BOX INTERRUPT GAMEPLAY.

The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.
