I must say, I love those. They're yours? And the blood and government man ones were good. Like, genusikical. (that being a word of my own coining, although not expressly for this moment.)

Nah, they're all from Invader Zim. I love that show...
Let's see...
The first two were ZIM, the third one was GIR, the fourth was said by one of the Tallest (regarding GIR), the fifth and six were also said by GIR, and the last one was said by ZIM (to GIR).
And these are from Firefly:
"No power in the verse can stop me." (first by Kaylee, retrieving her apple from River, then by River, shooting and killing the three people who were trying to kill Kaylee (with her eyes closed, I might add))
"Ha ha ha! Mine is an evil laugh!" (Wash, playing with his plastic dinosaurs)
"I call it Vera." (Jayne, the hardened mercenary, regarding his beloved gun)
Also (from Firefly) arguably Joss Whedon's Crowning Moment of Funny to end all Crowning Moments of Funny:
Book: [his hair out of its usual pony tail and looking like a demented cross between a male lion and Einstein] River, please, why don't you come on out.
River: [from Serenity's secret compartment] No, can't. Too much hair.
Book: [as Zoë begins to snicker uncontrollably] Is- is that it?
Zoë: [snickering] **** Yes, preacher, if I didn't have stuff to get done I'd be in there with her.
Book: It's the rules of my order. Like the book. It symbolizes-
Zoë: [interrupting him] River, honey, he's putting the hair away now.
[Book sighs and begins to pull his hair back again]
River: It doesn't matter. It'll still be there. Waiting.
bah ha ha ha ha ...

Oh, wow... of all the strange things my friend (Shnitzel) has said, my fave is when he said this:
Shnitz: Yo, yo home DOG!!! Wassup in the hizzouse?!
Me: Uh... Shnitz, no offense, but Germans make bad gangtstas.
Shnitz: Nuh-UH! I scored 100% gangsta on a gangsta test!
Me: *laughing extremely hard*
Yeah... Shnitz is weird.. (btw, I'm German so I dissed myself...) I also lol'd when Tansei, my bf, walked up behind me when I was talking to my friend Liz.
Me: I took a dumb blonde test last night!
Liz: But you're not blonde...
Tansei: *barges in on the convo* I find that very offensive!
Liz and me: *lol'ing our heads off*
(I don't hate blondes or anything, I mean my bf's blonde, so no complaining or else Bobo the flying gerbil will tell Batman where you live.)

"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
(June 18, 2009 - 7:00 pm)
I like that hammer one. And one I overheard last night: "Why did you put a paperclip in a muffin?" When you're a writer, it's not eavesdropping; it's research. :D

Some of my originals:
"Oh, go boil a lobster!" (said to an annoying coworker one time)
"INHALE. EXHALE. Repeat AS NECESSARY." (my 'catchphrase' whenever anyone has a bout of hyperventilation, which happens really, really often in my circle of deranged friends)
"I find that rather counter-intuitive, actually." (whenever I think anyones being stupid)
"That's a sign of madness." (usually followed with a bout of naming randomly invented signs of madness if it's said in earshot of my friend Alison, which inevitably ends with)
"Naming the signs of madness is a sign of madness."
"Hiss!" (whenever anyone touches my belongings/Precious Laptop of Doom/pretends to touch my PLD)
"I will end you!" (see above)
"...And I will start with YOU!" (said in response to the handful of people who feel the need to say "Haley's gonna become an evil dictator, kill everyone, and put 'em in pies" every. single. day.)
"I'm a concessions mook. I serve people heart attacks in buckets, and I don't loose a minute's sleep over it, either. Does this make me a psychopath?" (usually responded to with a resounding YES)

However clever the scripts are, ad-libs are always better:
"If only I could find his Achilles' heel... the soft, quivering underbelly beneath all that armor... I'll dethrone him! debone him! Now sing to momma! ...Sing, or I'll turn you both into handbags."
compared with:
"If only I could find his Achilles' heel... the soft, quivering underbelly beneath all that armor... I'll dethrone him! debone him! and then boys, oh boys we're back in business! All together now!"
It's cool though, 'cause she gets this look on her face, almost borderline panic, but if you didn't know what the line actually was you'd never guess she was making it up unless you were close enough to really see her face. /obsessiveness

"There is no good or evil. There is only power and those to weak to seek it."-Lord Voldemort (Usually followed by an evil laugh
"I can see it now. You, bending over the stove. (But I can't see the stove)" -Groucho Marx, said to a fat lady he is flirting with

"I like that apron! That hat's pretty nifty, too! But those shoes, they could use an adjustment!"- My friend, Katie.

Life! LIFE TO THE DEAD THREAD!
Guess the latest obsession!
Nimue: I love him!
Mab: I love him!
Nimue: You hate him!
Mab: I hate him... too...

Ambrosia: While you're making gestures, save the mother. She's dying.
Mab: No, she's not. She's dead.
*
"That was wude, Mordwed! You can do whatever you like but you must never be wude." ~Morgan Le Faye.
*
"Father, you've hurt me. Here, in my heart. Not usually my most vulnerable spot." ~Mordred.
*
[Mab and Frik appear through the closed door]
Mab: We thought we'd come in the traditional way. Through the door.
Merlin: Yes, well, it's traditional to open it first.
*
Mab: I'm glad to see you haven't lost all the skills I taught you...
Merlin: I haven't lost any of them. And it was Frik who taught me.
Mab: Don't mention that ingrate! He's left my employment... WITHOUT a reference.
*
"You've been sliding down the ladder of success so quickly these last few years you must have got splinters in your backside." ~Ambrosia
*
"Die, dear auntie Mab? That's the last thing I'll do. [dies]" ~Mordred
*
Merlin: You killed her.
Mab: No, I didn't. I just let her die.
*
Morgan: I like the Old Ways. They've given me a son, and they've made me beautiful.
Merlin: But that's only an illusion, Morgan.
Morgan: Beauty is always only an illusion, Merlin, don't you know that?
Crowning Moment Of Awesome (especially given that Morgan was played by HBC).
*
"That is a mistake many of my enemies make. They think before they act. I act before I think." ~Vortigern.
*
Frik: Mab, you miserable old crone! You killed her! May god have mercy on your soul, because he certainly didn't on the rest of you!
Mab: Why is everyone suddenly against me?
((I find Frik's line odd, incidentally. Mab is a) definitely NOT a miserable old crone and b) a goddess, so she's not exactly in a position for god to be having mercy on her. She's the one having mercy (or not) on other people. Ah, well, it's funny anyway.))
I'm done now.

Hey TNO, do you watch The Adventures of Merlin, too?! I love it! I like Gwenivere (Gwen) and Merlin and Morgana. Arthur's a brat, even though he is an entertaining character.
(August 8, 2009 - 6:40 pm)
No, actually, but I am seriously considering looking into it. The above quotes were from Merlin, the miniseries with Sam Neill (spelling...?). Which was excellent.
(August 9, 2009 - 4:05 pm)
Ooh, I have really good ones.
"The only reason I talk to myself is because my answer is the only one I accept."
"What happens if you get scared half to death twice?"
"I intend to live forever. So far, so good."
"Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is doing it, and right is right, even if nobody is doing it."
"I didn't lose my mind, I sold it on Ebay."
"I can see clearly now, the brain is gone..."
"When everything is coming at you, you're in the wrong lane."
Do you like these?
(August 9, 2009 - 8:41 pm)
Those're great.
Death from Discworld has some excellent lines, too:
Death: WHO KNOWS WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN?
Death of Rats: SQUEAK.
Death: WELL, YES, OBVIOUSLY ME. I JUST WONDERED IF THERE WAS ANYONE ELSE.

CATS. CATS ARE NICE.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I COULD MURDER A CURRY.
~
IT'S A SKELETAL STEED. IMPRESSIVE BUT IMPRACTICAL. I HAD ONE ONCE BUT THE HEAD FELL OFF.
I love Death. He's awesome. :)
