@drunkscrib... : Interesting metaphor.

Me likes

Probably not that good and still only in theatrical format, but that was the moment I thought "God, that guy is more of a nutjob than I anticipated."

"For Pete's sake, will you just pick a side already?"

Lol, nice lampshade!

Why you shouldn't let The Brute plan traps:

(BTW, yes, I got the "Welcome to MY Trap!" from Kefka's "Welcome to my barbecue!")

Ah ha! Out gambited there!

I've got this from a series of files on creatures and characters I've built up.

Heh, that's kinda funny.

"And at that moment, my life flashed before my eyes. I don't mean, like, various flashbacks of past life experiences, I literally mean the words "My Life" appeared in front of me and started flashing rapidly. This was probably because, believe it or not, when you get hit in the back of the head with a fist made of solid diamond, it kinda screws up your brain a little."

XD I love it.

Best take on the whole "life flashing before my eyes" trope I've ever read xD

Thirded, although it also makes me wonder, 'What kind of creature has a fist made of solid diamond?' Anyway, here's my meager contribution to this thread:

"You abandoned the law. Abandoned everything the Watchers stand for! Abandoned your oath!"

"Listen, kid. I abandoned nothing. I never abandoned anything. The Watchers don't watch out for the law, we watch out for the people. THE PEOPLE. Our oath doesn't mention the law, it mentions people. According to our oath, we don't enforce the law, we enforce order."

"They're the same thing, you fool!"

"No they are not! Order is people being safe in their own homes, hell, being safe walking the streets at night, not some arbitrary set of rules, sent down from a circle of bastards who never had to work for anything in their lives!"

Context: The young, idealistic by-the-book cop confronting his Cowboy Cop mentor about being a leader of a rebellion against the oligarchy of their city-state.

"You know that old saw about butterflies and hurricanes? We're the butterflies."

Ohh, so the thing is that Butterflies die in hurricanes so they're going to die?

"Space whales... Whales that are from Space..." Addison sang, staring at the ceiling and doing crazy things with his fingers. Papercut sighed, "Verge, you're gonna have to come up here... I don't care if you're 'reflecting' or whatever euphemism you're using that as..."

No, I mean, "A butterfly flapping its wings can create a hurricane on the other side of the world."

I've heard that saying so many times when discussing Chaos Theory and I still don't know how accurate it is in relation to the subject, but I loved the line you wrote.

Anyways.

I'll just leave this here, completely removed from its context:

"Hope for tomorrow is planning a bit too far ahead at this point. Can you renew my hope for the next twenty minutes?"

I like it! Very funny.

"Now, I've always heard that when you catch on fire, the correct steps are 'Stop, drop, and roll', but I've found that when one is actually on fire, the only steps you know how to perform are 'arrrgggh my flesh is melting oh god the pain why is this happening there is no god'."

Andrew Rose on his estranged brother Isaac:

"Cancers do not get to criticize other diseases, no matter how invasive they may be."

Omar Asif, Afghani narcoterrorist, calling out the mafia on their pretensions of moral superiority. Comes at the end of a fairly lengthy speech in which he notes that killing people for money is not any better than doing it for religion, etc.

From a story I haven't actually written any other lines for:

Basically the Sealed Evil in a Can Complete Monster energy vampire Omnicidal Maniac is a Large Ham. Even cosmic level threats to all life in the known universe have to amuse themselves somehow.

A display on a computer monitor during a hacking sequence:

That's funny.

[snerk]

Now I'm imagining hacking portrayed as a QTE.

I'd be surprised if that hadn't already been done...

"Believe it or not, being king of the apes is pretty hard work. You always have to settle those fistfights that are breaking out over territory ownership, and the only way to and from your castle is with vine swings. I'd try to make a pun and say that this shit is bananas, but I think it'd be more accurate to say that this shit is constantly flying all over the place, usually right onto my lap."
