Thanks, James. I saw it long time ago, with polish lector (and lector quotes in Poland are softened in comparison with orginal lines).

Ha! Dog Soldiers! If you're going to quote that one, you have to include:
Spoon: "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!"
Great line and a very British film.
And though I have no idea how you'd include it in a game:
Wells: "I am not breaking radio silence just cos' you lot got spooked by a dead flying fucking cow."

Just because I like the movie so much:
See... I can get you what you want, I can. I can get you anything, you just have to talk to me, you have to trust me. You can trust me, 'cause I'm your priest, I'm your shrink... I am you main connection to the switchboard of he soul. I'm the magic man... Santa Claus of the subconscious. You say it, you think it, you can have it.
Bullet-resistant? What ever happened to bullet-proof?
Two million years of human evolution and that's the best idea you can come up with.
The issue's not whether you're paranoid, Lenny, I mean look at this shit, the issue is whether you're paranoid enough
911 is busy!
Oooh... a little B&E action.
And one long one, showing the introduction of the SQUIDs to a new buyer
LENNY: That's right. Clips. Look, I want you to know what we're talking about here. This isn't like TV only better. This is life. It's a piece of somebody's life. Pure and uncut, straight from the cerebral cortex. You're there. You're doing it, seeing it, hearing it... feeling it.
KEITH: What kind of things exactly?
LENNY: Exactly anything. Whatever you want. Whoever you want to be. Fabri, get us another round, would you.
You want to go skiing without leaving your den, you can. But I'm assuming a guy like you, you wanna go skiing you fly to Aspen. That's not what you're interested in here. It's about the stuff you can't have... right? The forbidden fruit.
Like running into a liquor store with a .357 magnum in your hand, feeling the adrenalin pumping through your veins. Or... see that guy, with the drop-dead Philipino girl friend? Wouldn't you like to be that guy for twenty minutes? The right twenty minutes. I can make it happen. And you won't even tarnish your wedding ring.

The sad thing is I have used these lines in games:
QUOTE |
I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none.
|
QUOTE |
Conceal me what I am, and be my aid For such disguise as haply shall become The form of my intent. |
QUOTE |
I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence.
|
QUOTE |
And thus I clothe my naked villainy / With old odd ends stolen forth from holy writ/And seem a saint when most I play the devil. |
QUOTE |
The multiplying villainies of nature do swarm upon him disdaining fortune/with his brandish'd steel, which smoked with bloody execution... |
QUOTE |
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. [carves V into poster on wall] The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. |

I can see a rigger quoting Lord Flasheart.
"You treat your plane like you treat your woman. Get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back. Woof!"
Or from Queenie:
"I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a concrete elephant."
I'm sure this could be adapted to Shadowrun:
"They do say, Mrs Miggins, that verbal insults hurt more than physical pain. They are, of course, wrong as you shall find out when I stick this toasting fork in you."
And the classic:
"<Character name> you wouldn't recognize a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on a harpsicord singing subtle plans are here again."
Blackadder - great one!

It's a classic...
"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? "
But now, for a couple laughs:
Harry Callahan: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy.
The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross!

The Mayor: He's got a point.

Dirty Harry has nothing but great quotes!
Sudden Impact had some good lines, too:
Listen, punk. To me you're nothin' but dogshit, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dogshit. It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog shits ya!
Do you know the emergency phone number for San Francisco General? Well, why don't you call them right now and have them send down an ambulance. Tell them there's two sorry-looking assholes here with multiple contusions and various abrasions and broken bones.

Bother me? Nah, it doesn't bother me. The killings, the beatings... teachers getting thrown out of 5th floor windows because they don't give A's- that doesn't bother me. Old ladies getting bashed over the head for their Social Security checks- that doesn't bother me. Or this town; dealing with the scum of this city while getting swept under bigger and bigger waves of corruption, apathy, and red tape. No, that doesn't bother me. But you know what does bother me? You know what makes sick to my stomach? Watching you stuff your face with those hot dogs! Nobody-I mean nobody- puts ketchup on a hot dog!

Iquoted it a few days ago in another thread, but I find these lines so fantastic

:
(out of the Farscape series, 4th season, episode 20, We're so screwed (2) - Hot to Katratzi)
John Crichton strolls into a top secret base, to have an unanounced meeting with some of his arch-enemies. Strapped to his chest is a bomb, plutonium core, tritium shell (aka fission bomb).
"Now, before anybody decides to get clever, you should know I have multiple deadman sensors from every culture on my ship and a few cultures I haven't heard of."
[...]
"My heart stops... we all go boom. My heart speeds up, it's boom again. Too hot, too cold, too happy, too sad, thirsty, hungry bored... it's John Lee Hooker time. Boom, boom, boom. And you try your little psychic trick... kaboom. "
War Minister Ahkna: "Why do I doubt that?"
John: "Because you lack imagination?"
Staleek: "What do you want?"
John: "What do I... want? What do I want? I... have not been chasing my ass all over the galaxie trying to pull out chunks of my brain. I... have not been sneaking fembots... and skreeths into the places where I live. You want something! You. You want... what's inside my head. You want... what I know about wormholes. Because I... " He climbs up onto the table. "... can leap tall galaxies in a single bound. I can scorch planets with a wave of my hand... and you... and you... and you... You can't do jack."
Staleek: "Then why are you here?"
John stands back up on the table: "Because I... am an American. And what does an American want? Democracy? Capitalism! I want to sell out and settle down. For one day only, it's a blue light special on aisle three. My wormhole technology... and... a free set of steak knives for all the tea in China and anything you can imagine to pay me."
John claps his hands and rubs them together: "Welcome... to my cold war. Now... what am I offered for all the powers of the Universe."
Awesome series. Like Firefly, cut off before time, but a TV miniseries took up most of the loose ends...
I'll certainly bring up the bomb part someday

...man, I loved that series too. On of the very few reasons I was glad to have a cable TV subscription at the time. So many cool aspects like:
...The fact they have a lexicon of swear words and lingo (not unlike Pre-Ver. 4 Shadowrun).
...main characters who were "alien", Rigel, Pilot, Ka D'Argo, and Zahn (who was plant instead of mammal).
..."edgier" characters like like the dominatrix Mele-On (now that is the way to play Tailored Pheromones), and "snurching" sexpot Chiana.
...and then, bring on the bad guy himself, Scorpius. Ruthless, obsessive, manipulative, a real Johnson - er - scoundrel.
...Finally there in Moya, a living starship, not just an AI like on Andromeda but an actual living being (who gave birth to Talyn in one episode).
All in all, more than just ahead of its time.
