"Let's separate him from his extremities, he's not going to be needing them where he's going"

Zeful:

One of the better ones--at least along the same lines as your post, that is, because they're ALL good-- that I recall reading on The Shadowrun Quotefile was:

Rigger to teammate:

"If you put ANYTHING but Diesel fuel into this vehicle, I will take GREAT personal pleasure in rearranging your internal organs ALPHABETICALLY."

Moral: NEVER mess with a Rigger's ride....



--Foreigner

Here's one I used in real life. Girl: Hell, I'm more of a man than you are. Me: No, you have a higher sperm count. That's not the same.

GM: "Ok, the security rigger chick is unconscious."

2 players, simultanouesly: "Dibs."

Not exactly a one-liner, but I have to post it:

Me: “Alright, you’ve just decapitated the security rigger. On the screen in front of you, a red flashing box appears. It says ‘Internal Security compromised. Alert!’ The alarm start ringing. What do you do?”
Player: “Is there a toolbox here?”
Me: “Uh…yeah.”
Player: “Can I cut the plastic bit off?”
Me: “Oooookay…”
Player:“Great! I stick the guy’s head onto the screwdriver and jam it back onto his neck! Is the alarm still going off?”
Me: “. . .”

Our last gaming session of the summer. One player brings in a female elf street sammie....

Party Mage: "I start hitting on her."

Female Elf: "I slap him"

Party Mage: "I use my high Charisma and Etiquette to convince her to Lap Dance for me, and convince her she wants to do naughty things with me."

Female Elf: "I'm not into guys"

Party Mage quickly looks at his character sheet....

"I've got a spell to fix that!"

Regarding Special Forces: here's a quote from http://usmilitary.about.com/od/jointservic.../specialops.htm -

Just so there's one more voice saying it:

Special Forces would be a branch of the US Army. (btw, no one else hit on it, but Delta Force is a part of Special Forces, not a separate unit. They specialize mainly in counterterrorism, but not exclusively)

If it's not a pair of crossed arrows on the collar, it's not Special Forces.

Ditto. on the SF/SOF thing. Special Operations Forces include a lot more than the shooters & looters. Psyops units for example, frequently fall under SOF. Pilots of those c-130 refueling planes also. Any units supporting a special unit like that tends to be SOF.

The SF/SEAL/whatever may be the tip of the spear, but a spear without the handle backing it up is just a steak knife with delusions of grandeur.

About Delta, I think they are organic to the Army SF, but don't they function exclusively within SOCOM?

(Side note: SOCOM for the PS2 is a cool game, but it makes Googling for info on the real SOCOM a real pain in the tail.)

The real question is why did people start refering to the Mk23 handgun as a "SOCOM"?

Metal Gear Solid.

Metal Gear Solid actually spawned some quips I've used in games.

(OMFG, back on topic!)

At one point when Athletics checks were required, I had my character say, "Use hanging mode!"

Another time I played a character who was a Raiden rip-off, so I had him making the Raiden frustration grunt all the time during conversation, and it really pissed everyone else off.

Oh, man, how could I forget.

One of my characters was a big, pale troll in a loincloth who never wore any armor and who looked like The Nameless One from Planescape: Torment. Furthermore, he was a direct ripoff of Ahnold's character in Conan the Barbarian.

So his recurring line was, "Whuu ahh yuu?"

Everyone laughed, and it came up a lot. Sadly, no one ever replied, "I am Subotai! Archer and theif! I am Harkanian!"

I guess that's what happens when no one names their character Subotai.



The other thing is that when I was running my Sho Kosugi ripoff character I kept having him say, "Onry a ninja can stop a ninja!", which made everyone laugh, especially since he wasn't that powerful of a character. At one point, one of the mages created a trid illusion ninja just to poke fun at that line.

Said after shrugging off a panther assault cannon shell to the chest: "Not enough gun."

"It's too late, I'm too tired and you're too stupid."

"Just shut up and die."

"Do what I say or i feed you to the troll."

Not exactly a one-liner, but:

Runner: "How many guards you got in there?"
SecGuard: "What? Why on earth should I tell you that?"
Runner: "No reason, I just wanted to know how long this is going to take."

There are always the classics from the old western movies:

"If I open the coffin, the book will be balanced"

"Clean up this mess! But don't use my coffin"

"You're Big Jake McCandles? I thought you where dead!"

Other movies:

"Let's nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure"

"You must excuse Robocop. Sometimes he does some accidental damage"

And than from RPGs:

"Q:Have you ever seen an Imortal Elf? A: Not through my scope" (SR mage and sniper)

"Atlanta is burning! Scarlett O'Hara needs help" (Merc:2000)

"It's trying to eat my Weasel" (Status report in a Merc:2000 "Jurrasic Park" game)

"If in doubt, grenade them out" (Another Merc:2000)


"Q: What does keep us from simply shooting you? A: Then my finger would slip from this button and your costly italien shoes won't like that" (Cyberpunk)

Player counting the PC/NPC group: "Oh shit, we are seven"

GM about players: Voted "Group most likely to use the nuclear weapon" (Traveller)

GM to player: I think we should discuss our definition of "low key operations" (After the "low key" operation involved the player lying in a fountain in front of the hotel and firing a Maschine gun)

"Chicks dig giant robots" - perfect quote for any romanticly sucessful rigger.

Basically, everything said in Sin City, especially

"You see a gazebo."

One time, I was GMing some bug hunt of a run and the team had just snuck down into the local UB hive. I had one NPC come across the team, and he started into the typical touchy-feely Brotherhood spiel while getting ready to escort them back upstairs.

The team's samurai, a fellow by the street name of Porkchop, went right up to the guy, slapped his palm on the UB's forehead, and boomed in his best televangelist accent "Be HEALED, My Son!"

And then he triggered his 12-Gauge cybergun that he had in that arm.

My runners were trying to think of ways of discrediting the secfirm hired to guard the facility they were doing a B&E at, and they came up with the idea of just getting them all high on drugs. They decided to go with the best chemicals have to offer, NovaCoke. They were considering how to best aquire said NovaCoke in a short period of time, and they decided they could probably find drugs on a dead hooker.

"Well, you could go make one."
"What? ... Make a dead hooker?"
*realization dawns on their faces*
"Heh, yeah, we could go make a dead hooker, and we'd probably get some cred, too."

From Robocop

"Come along quietly, or there will be trouble." Guaranteed way to start an immediate firefight.

From They Live, as quoted by someone else also

"I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of gum."

From a Spelljammer game I was playing a paladin in

"Justice is served!" said as I took a Javelin of Lightning and threw it at the approaching Beholder ship, rolling a natural 20

"How much are his sheets worth?"

Said by a character after breaking into the villian's home. Also uttered was "Do you think we can sell the severed head?"

This was a D&D game, so naturally we sold everything not nailed down.

Could manaball be used as a form of contraception?

Alright, I grab a fountain pop at Super UCAS, and hop back on my bike and hit the highway. I wear my visor up so I can get at the straw though.

That's the most blatant misuse of autogyroscopic technology yet!

"Dont worry, this wont hurt a big.... I'll make it swift and painless"

From The Tick:

"Another urban legend dispelled. Ninjas don't bounce. "

"Gravity is a harsh mistress."

"And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limt." (Okay This one is more than one line)

"Sanity, you're a madman! "

"You're not going crazy. You're going sane in a crazy world! "

"You know, though today was the worst day of my life, I learned many things. First, the world looks a lot different when you're six inches tall and covered with feathers. Second, two heads are definitely not better than one. And finally, you can lay eggs and still feel like a man. " (This one goes well with a shapechange spell)

"Cool. They got a blimp. "

"Brace yourself while Corporate America tries to sell us its wretched things"

"LEEEEROYYYYYYYYY JEEEEEEENNKKKINS!"

Had to be said.

"I'm going to rip you're c*** of and beat you with it.

and see sig.

Um, son, is that a shotgun in you're pants?

No, I'm just happy to see you.



Or:

Principle: Um, is that a shotgun in you're pant's or are you happy to see me?

player: What, I like older men.

"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M RESTING??" the ever-so-sleepy mage

"open the door, then come in!" a monty-python line so suitable for our troll

"s**t! I mean, drek!" my sniper, continuously.

"to the walls!" again, our wall-bashing troll.

"I should kill you, but...nevermind, i'll do it anyway."

"If you don't cooperate, I'm going to leave. then, someone else is going to come in, and you will want me back in here."

"check his memory" another intimidation tactic, straight from The Princess Bride.

"YOU KILLED MY MOTHER! YOU KILLED MY FATHER! ...you killed my people!
..
..
YOU TOOK MY FATHER SOOOAAAARD!" arnold breaks his over-40-min silence in Conan The Barbarian with this exquisite acting. we use it for tacky storylines.

"Hi, we're the League of Shut-the-Frag-Up-and-Get-Out-of-Our-Way. Membership is mandatory, but whether or not you get to see the light of day again is optional."

Not a shadowrun-specific quote;

Note: In some circles, the word 'cone' refers to the ass.

Player (playing a paladin in DnD using detect evil): "Is there evil in my cone?"

GM (me): "Not unless you want it to be"
