So. Do you ever feel the need to squeeze a movie quote into a shadowrun gaming session? Here's one that had me cracking up. Keep in mind that most of my play is exclusively text based MUX.
To set the scene, Grim and Iron have been locked down in a little corporate weapons playground, while their decker get's hammered, pulling out a noted technician with a headful of useful data. It's a clear -cut and paste-. --- Griz shakes his head, squints his eyes, and otherwise looks horribly annoyed at the entire situation. This was supposed to be a corporate facility with some security, maybe a couple of drones, and a straight forward extraction. Meanwhile, in the span of those moments another couple of rounds splatter off the edge of the trench, sending debris into the airs. "Fuck, chummer. I've got two clips left. Burned the APDS, and unless Ranger hacks through that maglock we're stuck between a rock, and hard place. Painful place, even." He quick ejects his clip, refreshes his link to the optical augmented image link, and loads the latest combat information into his tactical reserves. He'll rise, pull the stock of his rifle into his shoulder, squeeze off a burst, and mutter, "At least I don't have a wife and kids, eh Iron?" There's a snort from Iron, and he nods himself, dropping a pair of empty clips from his handguns, wedged up low against the edging of the pit, and taking a few seconds to load himself a new set. "Yeah. I've got a girl, myself. We usually chat for two hours a day on the matrix, so I'd say things have been getting pretty serious." He cocks each gun in turn. "I'm a little TO'd though. She still hasn't even sent me a full body shot." <OOC> GM#7 reads. Laughs! <OOC> Griz facepalms. <OOC> Iron looks around innocently, "What? Was it something I said?" <OOC> GM#7 snickers, "You stupid bastard." ---Napoleon Dynamite Paraphrase. -RM |

Ok, I know Samuel L Jackson said the original line in some movie, but for the life of me, I can't remember which it was... Pretty much anything by Ash (Army of Darkness) works its way into our sessions. Anything from a simple 'Groovy.', to the popular 'This is my BOOMSTICK!' |

That was Jackie Brown. Pretty much any good line from a Tarantino movie can be adapted to SR with minimal thought or effort.

Sven: Hmm... remind me, next time we deal with an iffy Johnson, to get a, um, sample...
Clarissa: Blood? Hair? Tissue? Sven: Hair works. Blood and tissue are better, but more difficult to get unnoticed. Clarissa: Just punch him once. That should do it Bobby Z: Or, you know, get him drunk and have your way with him. Sven: Remind me exactly what "my way" is? Bobby Z: Pick up those boulders, and when he comes around the corner, smash his head in! Sven: My way's not very sportsmanlike. |

Runner 1: We haven't really figured out if we want to kill the Johnsons for crossing us. Not enough info.
Runner 2: Me. I'm the guy. I know everyone. I know his habits, who he hangs out with. I got phone hus numbers, addresses. I know who he's screwing, I know where he lives. We could kill EVERYONE. Runner 1: So what do you think? Runner 3: I'm strangely comfortable with it. |

Thanks... Followup, different movie:
Johnson: What are you doing? Runner 1: What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone. Johnson: ...I don't understand. Runner 1: 'Cause there is a dead man on the other end of this fragging' line |

One particular movie is stock full of potential SR quote, considering it's the movie that comes closer in concept to a SR team that I can think of.
--- "You ever kill anybody?" "I hurt somebody's feelings once." --- "Who and how many are going to be coming after us?" "You worried about saving your own skin?" "Yeah I am - it covers my body." --- And it wouldn't be complete without an argument with Johnson: "What's in the case?" "That information isn't necessary." "Is it heavy? Is it explosive? Is it chained to some unlucky bloke's wrist - we're gonna have to chop it off? I mean what is it?" "Alright. But I am not under any obligation to let you know..." "If you are not then the price has got to go up. I'll get you the case but the price has got to go up. If it's gonna be amateur night I want a hundred-thousand dollars, I want it up front, I want it in a bank account, I want another hundred-thousand when you get the case." |

Sir, Is this going to be a stand up fight, or another bug hunt?

Mr Brackhaus: Mr. Johnson knew nothing. Lowfyr rarely works with the same people for very long, and they never know who they're working for. One cannot be betrayed if one has no people.
Shadowrunner: So why are you telling us? Mr Brackhaus: Because you have stolen from Lowfyr, Mr Shadowrunner. That you did not know you stole from him is the only reason you are still alive, but he feels you owe him. You will repay your debt. Shadowrunner: Alright, Frag the Debt - And Fuck You! How do we know you work for Lowfyr? Mr Brackhaus: I don't think that is relevant, Mr Shadowrunner. All five of you are responsible for the murder of The Corp Suit and his bodyguards. Mr. Johnson can testify to your involvement, and we can see to it that he will. He is not of your "superior" breed. |

Yeah, if I ever used that line in a game my players would crap their pants then start making new characters, the conversation would end there. ;)

I can't wait to pull this one on my players with a new NPC Merc Outfit...
"I can't see FukkMook, I have no Eyes." I think everyone can guess the movie, but can anyone guess the name of the Outfit? |

I usually enjoy some of these guessing games as much as the next gamer, but it'd be nice if people cited their sources for those of us who don't go out looking for shadowrunesque films (or don't like, say, GitS).

My single quote came from 'Aliens,' and the only Ghost in the Shell related thread activity I've seen lately was over in the Mag Scope thread.
