"According to the historian Yerso Gullible, cows were among the first mortal creatures to perform opera. Why do you think all those fat ladies wear horned helmets on stage?"

I love everything about this crazy old b@5tard! He's epic! Even his name. Have you tried to just sit there and repeat it, use it in sentences, ect ect!
I always enjoyed the dialogue you could have with emissary tar the first time you enter the iron throne:
Tar: "At last, someone who looks like they could be of some assistance. The assorted boobs and dimwits around here have been of very little help."
CHARNAME:"I'm afraid you've mistaken us for someone else. I'm Dimwit, this is my good friend Boob, and behind me you'll find Brainless and Moron. How do you do?"
"My name is Amelyssan the Blackhearted, High Matriarch and greatest Deathstalker of my Lord Murder's Bhaalist temple. 'Twas I who led all the chants in His holy name! 'Twas I who harbored his avatar when the Lord of Murder was cast down to walk amongst us in the Time of Troubles. To his greatest priestess did he come for succor!"
"My name is Amelyssan the Blackhearted, High Matriarch and greatest Deathstalker of my Lord Murder's Bhaalist temple. 'Twas I who led all the chants in His holy name! 'Twas I who harbored his avatar when the Lord of Murder was cast down to walk amongst us in the Time of Troubles. To his greatest priestess did he come for succor!"
I like her scream when she is killed by my gnome. . . It's not really a quote though. Just funny. Villains really need to stop the monologues.
"You're pathetic... Okay, I'll rattle it off for you like I did for the last adventurer and the one before that. I have no doubt you'll share their fate. Let's see, there are the ruins of an old mage school to the southeast. Traps, dead things that try to kill you, you know the schtick... Then there's the Firewine Bridge: ghosts, winding narrow passageways, some poetry, blah, blah, blah... Honestly, I can't think of a life more tedious than that of an adventurer. Personally, I get far more out of wandering around aimlessly and scratching my arse like this." ~Commoner in Beregost

At this point I always imagine Charname just slapping her face back and forth in contempt before the Solar breaks it up and tells us to fight later.
That's why she's just such a great villain - she gets people so riled up even as she is ridiculously hammy!
The first time through it was a big surprise - then I got to the Throne and was like "oh shit it's the lady on the cover that I had no idea what she had to do with anything! IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER" Then she kicked my ass like half a dozen times before I employed my cunning "buttload of traps" technique.
"I've never seen "simple" merchants armed as you are! It look more like kick-ass be your commodity! I think you lie to me! I THINK YOU DIE!" ~Tazok again.
"Oh, my dear, dear boy. You are IN SUCH TROUBLE! What in all the planes were you thinking, child?! Gallivanting through an Umberlant temple like that?! So help me, if turning you over my knee wouldn't kill you outright, you'd jump black to go right to blue! Oh no, you don't! If you want to play the odds, you had best be sure you take responsibility for yourself! The goddess of luck and adventure does not endorse DUMB luck or foolish risks! I swear, if your mother were alive to hear about this she'd drop dead where she stood, and THEN I'd have to raise her TOO! Do you have any idea what this spell takes out of a person?! Not another word past your lips young man! You're off to your room and see if I let you out before you're four score and twenty! March!" - from Tremain, the priest of Tymora in Baldur's Gate.
Although not in the original game when I saw this line added to game because of the npc mod I just couldn't help but laugh and shake my head in shame at the same time.

"I...! Refuse!!!!" - Sarevok when dying. Shortest most bad ass line in the game.
"Did he drop any good loot"- charname to Rasaad after his brother dies. Can't even write this without laughing. And Rasaads reaction is even better, just acting like charname did not say anything.

Skeleton Warrior laugh in BG1.
Firkraag's battle cries.
Charname: "By all that is right and holy, you will not succeed!"
Tracea Carol: "By all that is loud and windy, will you please shut up?!"
"For Baldur's Gate!" ~Aldeth Sashenstar
Grog... grog and a bath... aye...
Tar: "At last, someone who looks like they could be of some assistance. The assorted boobs and dimwits
around here have been of very little help."
CHARNAME:"I'm afraid you've mistaken us for someone else. I'm Dimwit, this is my good friend Boob, and behind me you'll find Brainless and Moron. How do you do?"
Always gave me a good chuckle.
This is not really a quote, but I love the battle music when you're fighting Firkraag.

IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER" Then she kicked my ass like half a dozen times before I employed my cunning "buttload of traps" technique.
Charname: "Hey, wait! We've come here... to... to benefit from your divine wisdom. Let us speak."
Centeol: "You've come here to learn from my infinite wissssdom. Sssspeak quickly!"
Charname: "We want to know why you're so fat?"
There is just no escaping it...

Cernd's Child
I have refused to help Cernd fight Deril. It did not go well.
awwwkward
