Funny quote -"Ok, I've just about had my FILL of riddle asking, quest assigning, insult throwing, pun hurling, hostage taking, iron mongering, smart-arsed fools, freaks, and felons that continually test my will, mettle, strength, intelligence, and most of all, patience! If you've got a straight answer ANYWHERE in that bent little head of yours, I want to hear it and pretty damn quick or I'm going to take a large blunt object roughly the size of Elminster AND his hat, and stuff it lengthwise into a crevice of your being so seldom seen that even the denizens of the nine hells themselves wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot rusty halberd! Have I MADE myself perfectly CLEAR?!" - The PC

Lilarcor: Y'know, once, I was like, a Moonblade.
Lilarcor: You know I am an intelligent sword, although I had no formal edumacation.
Lilarcor: I know! Start swinging! Eventually you'll lop off the head of someone important and then the good fights will REALLY start!
Lilarcor: My brother's a +12 Hackmaster!
Lilarcor: What's my status? Since when do you care about me unless I'm impaled in something's guts? Oh well, fine, let me think for a minute... Well, as a matter of fact I would like to register a complaint. I want to kill a dragon. Right now. Go find one and kill it. That would be SO cool.
Lilarcor: Hands up, kiddies, who wants to die?
Lilarcor: Kill it! Kill it quick before they're all gone!
Lilarcor: Advice, eh? Well, besides working a little on your swordsmanship. Besides that, I'd have to think. Hmmm... find someone rich, and kill them. Find someone richer, and kill them, too! Hack and slash you way to fortune! Woo-hoo!
1. Epic quote - "Silence dog, you have no purpose here but to die by my hand." - Jon Irenicus
Spine chilling and delivered in a terrifyingly calm manner. Without a doubt my fav exchange of dialogue in any game/book/film.
2. Wise quote - " Do not stow thrones in grass houses! " - Minsc
3. Funny quote - "Me will crush you! Crush you to GOO! " - Ogre
Wise "ever pathetic ever fools"
Funny "ever pathetic ever fools"
Epic and wise -
"Life... is strength. This is not to be contested; it seems logical enough. You live; you affect your world. But is it what you want? You are... different inside. This woman lives and has strength of a sort. She lost her parents to plague, her husband to war, but she persevered. Her farm has prospered, her name is respected and her children are fed and safe. She lived as she thought she should. And now she is dead. Her land will be divided, her children will move on, and she will be forgotten. She lived a good life, but she had no power; she was a slave to death. I wonder if you are destined to be forgotten. Will your life fade in the shadow of greater beings?"
Somewhat funny - (at least, it made me giggle every time)
"Typical. If I had a sense of humor left I might find that funny. I do not, on both accounts."
2. Stop touching me!- Xzar
Wise: "How did you GET the djinn in the first place?" - "A favor here, a clever spell there, a geas or two. It's not so hard." (Baeloth on the charname's question)
Funny: "Of course, they say that Duke Eltan had already had a bit of Auntie's pie and enjoyed it immensely. Rather than become hypnotized, he just became rather pleasantly obsessed with silken undergarments. This, of course, led to the first Great Underwear Shortage. It's also known as the Three-Year Wedgie Drought, but that's another story completely." (Jan Jansen during a banter with Sarevok)
2. "Never take raisins from rabbits, never spit in a man's face unless his mustache is on fire, and never wear a pair of wooden knickers unless you've a good supply of salve." -Portalbendarwinden
3. "Prepare to meet your doom! Hihihihihihihihihihihihihi!" -Jan
2. (When you say you don't know the answer to a riddle) "Then you were right not to answer."
3. "Beware my bite for it might... might... might really hurt or something."
2) "Everyone in town used to throw rocks at me and tell me I was annoying."
3) "Ouch. I mean... 'Moooooo.'"
2 Wise: Mazzy's line about appreciating each day we see because others aren't so lucky has become more poignant as I've gotten older.
3 Funny: After Viconia tells Jan how she will hurt and torture him, he replies "By the gods, Viconia, I am so turned on right now" made me laugh out loud.
1) "*Yawn* I should'a joined the army."
2) "Get me out of this hellhole!"
3) "*Hack* I think I'm coughing up blood!"
4) "It's so dark!"
And while in schools, bookstores, and libraries:
5) "These walls contain the world's knowledge."
Xzar is easily one of my favourite NPCs in the entire saga, so I'm dedicating my quotes to him.
1. Epic - "I am become Death, destroyer of worlds!"
2. Wise - "Why must you goad us into other people's concerns? Can you not just let us mind our own enterprise?" (perhaps not a particularly kind line of thinking, but it is Xzar, after all.)
3. Funny - "I'll teach yer grandmother to suck eggs!"
"I know dragons with feet like rabbits, 'tis true I swear!"
"I wanted infravision like the elves, but tis' more than just taking their eyes"
"Montaron! I ... I never loved you!"
I couldn't just narrow it down to one funny quote for Xzar. The dude's just too wacky.
2. Wise: Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy." Alora
3. Funny:
-"Cernd: Poor Edwin. When nature casts aside an appendage, she is confident it will return in the proper season. My heart weeps for your insecurities. Weep, weep.
- Edwin: (I wonder what his nature would say about the cleansing power of fire. I wonder.)"
I know it's not a quote, but twas hard to resist.
