Charname, in response to Nalia's Auntie: "I'm just going to stand here in stunned silence for a while" just the right level of snark for my NG bard without upsetting Keldorn (though I find it odd he gets the same reaction from her Aunt when he's of a similar social standing).
& this between Jaheira & Khalid:
"Please! Jaheira! You needn't be so so... uh." "Insufferable?" "Yes, that's definitely it!"
"There once was a warrior true, with the sense knocked out of him, too, but in a hamster he found, some wisdom profound, and now where goes he goes his Boo!"
"I once knew a red mage of Thay Who dreamed of lichdom some day He said he knew how to do it But still managed to screw it Up in the funniest way!"

Edited to add this conversation between Cernd and Edwina:
Cernd: Are the flowers not beautiful this time of year? Perhaps a little late in the blooming, but still...
Edwina: What!? What are you getting at? I know you are talking about me, so speak it plain!
Cernd: Perhaps your new form has made you more sensitive, though not in a way I call improvement. I meant nothing. It is my wont to talk of nature and her gifts.
Edwina: Very well then. I will let your comment pass and...
Cernd: I mean, if I say how the great cycle fells the mighty oak, yielding to the furrows and valleys of a more subtle landscape, is it my fault if you take offense?
Edwina: I see, I see. I shall let the slight pass and...
Cernd: And if I say that the great stag casts aside its wondrous mantle as the long winter approaches, should it be my concern if you draw any comparisons to your...
Edwina: Yes, yes, yes, now will you please cease your prattle!
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.
Edwina: (I wonder what his nature would say about the cleansing power of fire. I wonder.)
I just read a bit of text I either hadn't seen before, or simply didn't get when I first read it (waaay back in my more innocent years.) This time though, I almost fell off my chair from giggling.
Qar Jysstev: "Sir Sarles will most likely carry word of his treatment here for months, and my name will bear the social stigma of it."
CHARNAME: "Social smegma might be more appropriate in the case of Sir Sarles. What a grouch."
T'was especially fun since I was playing a Cleric of Lathander.
"Hahahahha, smart guy dies, and Tiax goes on to rule!"
"Why have you come? Is it to steal my riches or perhaps you seek to righteously punish me for my affront to your morality. It matters little, for you will do neither. Before I dispose you in some horribly gruesome manner perhaps I should introduce myself. I am known as Davaeorn, I would ask you for your names, but I care little to become acquainted with the dead." Davaeorn
"You’ll go far, you know. Farther, maybe, than cousin Bifflechips… allthough he was flung by a catapult, so I suppose it doesn’t really count." Jan Jansen
Pleasure slave: "Be thee not of impure heart or thou will surely destroy thyself. Kalah is the One Ruler, the One True Being."
Charname: "I've come to see the circus, not some half-dressed tart spouting dire warnings!"
Charname: "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 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 CLEAR?!"
my new favorite which i am totally stealing for my dragon warriors campaign i'm joining (:D!) is neeras battle cry: "Victory? Unclear! Destruction? Certain!"
As years go by and that second playthrough changes to tenth playthrough, players of BG tend to learn some bits of dialogue and banter by heart. As these games are heavy with text, and it takes long time for one person to hear them all, I'd like to hear some of this community's favourite Baldur's Gate quotes! Remember to tag spoilers if needed.
Anyway, here are some of my favourites:
Irenicus (hell, pretty much anything said my this guy): "I cannot be caged. I cannot be controlled. Understand this as you die, ever pathetic, ever fools!"
Oogie: "Recent evidence suggests that a barrel full of monkeys is not half as much fun as previously claimed, and is, in fact, rather horrifying!"
And this one especially:
Sarevok: "I orchestrated a war to slaughter thousands. I have felt the cold embrace of death. I have witnessed the horrors of the abyss. But you, Viconia... you scare me."
My favourite quote of Baldur's Gate? Why, that would of course be a particular dialogue choice one could give Portalbendarwinden.

Have I MADE myself perfectly CLEAR?!
"For your information, a number of sociological and psychological theories have posited that stores exist in an intermediate space, neither private nor public in nature but combining elements of both. Displays in store windows, for instance, can best be viewed as mental constructs projected onto the public consciousness as a means of engendering mass conformity derived solely from the supposedly private domain of consumer choice..."

Bodhi if you show up to her meeting as a thief: I was worried i would have to discipline Valen for failing to deliver my message. Perhaps i will anyway. It shows that I care.
@Lungrnn Actually that would be this one: "This is very unnerving, I know, but you must trust me. It is very important that you pack your possessions so that we may leave Candlekeep immediately. Hurry, for there is no time to tarry! The keep is well protected, but not invulnerable."

Charname: "I dare! Your plans are ruined, Irenicus! You will die here!"
Irenicus: "You... you live *yet*?! You have less than a fraction of your soul and yet somehow you *continue* to oppose me?"
I love that part. I finally got on his nerves!
with the sense knocked out of him, too,
but in a hamster he found,
some wisdom profound,
and now where goes he goes his Boo!"
Who dreamed of lichdom some day
He said he knew how to do it
But still managed to screw it
Up in the funniest way!"

Because this quote means I'm beginning a journey through one of the greatest stories/games I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
