favorite mass effect quote

[Daystar Clarion]

Spoiler: Well, spoilers if you haven't played ME2.

"The council thought the first Hanar Spectre would play by the rules: 'This one has forgotten whether its heat sink is over capacity. It wonders if the criminal scum considers itself fortunate'."

And everything else you overhear on Illium. The bachelor party in Elysium with the exasperated Salarian, the Turian trying to chat up the oblivious Quarian in the same club, the Asari with the Batarian father and her friend, the Volus trying to buy a sex-suit or something from Serrice Technologies. Illium is completely full of win compared to the other main hubs in the game.

I agree, all the little conversations and adds you pick up are pure gold.

Insincere endorsement. You have not experienced Shakespeare's Hamlet until you have heard it in Elcor.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

The Elcor performing Hamlet is also great.

Aw hell, ninjaed. I cracked up so badly when I heard that advertisement 3 minutes or so ago.

"Sincere endorsement: You have not experienced Shakespeare until you heard it from the voice of an elcor."

Good heavens this game is getting better every minute.

Edit:
Oh hell this is just too good:
Random turian: "You humans are all racists!" Oh the irony!

Wait till you get to the Asari planet... I'm not going to ruin anything for you but there are some really funny encounters.

Also... Miranda: 'Why is this lift taking so damn long'

 

[MiracleOfSound]

-Getting sollowed whole by a dragon wouldn't be fun. It wouldn't kill me but the process would be inpleasent and give passing a stone a whole new meaning"
-shale

I know it is a dragon age quote but its bioware and the best bioware quote i could remeber

Shale stepping on the chicken nearly made me fall of my chair...

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Oh my this thread is old.....

MaxtheReaper is on the first page.

[small]...jerk[/small]

Anyways, *clears throat*

Wrex: "What about the Quarian?"

Tali: "My name is TALI!"

 

[TundraWolf]

My favorite exchanges are with Garrus, the best being when you go to recruit Tali.

When you come through the final door and the Colossus blasts at you, Garrus yells out: "Just like old times!" I nearly fell out of my chair from laughing so hard.

Also, the whole exchange with Garrus after you recruit him is awesome.

Garrus: "How bad does it look?"
Shepard: "It'll be fine after we slap on some paint. No one will be able to tell the difference."
Garrus: "Well, I suppose it's for the best. All the women were ignoring you and hitting on me."

Also, when trying to recruit Samara:

Shepard: "Your superiors are sending you to certain death for no good reason. You have a right to disobey."
Garrus: "We can disobey suicidal orders? Why wasn't I told?"
Thane: "That's about twice a day."

There are many more, but those were the three that I remembered the most.

 

[Xris]

"Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining"

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

Joker and Garrus have the best lines in ME2.

Joker: "It's like Garrus has finally worked that stick out of his butt and is now beating people to death with it."

I wish I could remember the exact dialogue but when you are facing J'adore and have Garrus on your team she is spouting something about killing all the Krogan clones for the common good, etc and Garrus goes "That's charming".

 

[Bullsquid]

"I was just thinking of how much you remind me of Santa Claus."

 

[Internet Kraken]

Guard:"As this is a high-security vessel, you must relinquish possession of your weapons."
Shepard:"I'll relinquish one bullet. Where do you want it?"

I'm beginning to see why people like playing as renegade Shepard.

 

[DustyDrB]

Can't quote it verbatim but Shepards speech to the Admiralty in defense of Tali was great. "Tali'Zorah vas Normandy"

 

[Adanos]

Big stupid jellyfish just beats them all.

 

[Bullsquid]

Guard:"As this is a high-security vessel, you must relinquish possession of your weapons."
Shepard:"I'll relinquish one bullet. Where do you want it?"

I'm beginning to see why people like playing as renegade Shepard.

I forgot about that one.

 

[SageRuffin]

"You're ability to grasp the obvious is inspiring."

"Somebody out there needs my boot up his ass".

Garrus: "Somebody's making a killing out there..."

And my all time favorite (I think it went like this, I can't remember the exact words)...

Turian counselor: Do you know how many generations it will take before the rachni overrun the galaxy?!
Shep: Uh... 3? No, 4!

Reminds me of one of my favorite lines from KotOR:

"Do you know how many Sith there are in Dreshdae?"
Jolee: "12... no wait, 13!"

 

[Hollock]

when Mordin sings to you and tells you about how all the ladies want a piece of him.

 

[Spiner909]

All these are from ME2.

"That means Albert Einstein is the most dangerous mother****** in this damn galaxy! Now Private, what is Nikolai Tesla's Third Law?" Random group of soldiers in the Citadel.

"Like I said, she had the flexibility...but I had the reach" Garrus in the main battery some time after rescuing him.

I know there's more. I'll find them.

 

[KdS_22]

From ME2

Garrus: "I like to savor the last shot before popping the heat sink."

Made me laugh so hard

 

[Bullsquid]

Garrus (to female Shepard): "If you were a Turian, I'd be admiring your fringe or waist, so uh... your waist is nice and um... your hair looks good."

Female Shepard: "Consider me seduced, loverboy."

 

[Irridium]

On the citidel near the werehouse:

"2 years, 2 YEARS I've been trying to get this refund! I'm not going to stop now!"

-conversation between Slarian and that one human who tried to get a refund from the Turian on the wards in the first game.

Joker - "I fractured my thumb on the mute button but I think I made my point."

Also when you go to recruit Mordin, and he asks for help, I had my Shepard say:
"You know, just once I would like it if someone said 'Yes Shepard, I would love to go with you, you don't need to help with anything!'"

Reminds me from the first one when your on Feros and about to fight the Thorian, and your teamate is saying all you have to do is destroy a plant...
Shepard: "Nothing's ever simple, is it."

 

[Avatar Roku]

Oh hell this is just too good:
Random turian: "You humans are all racists!" Oh the irony!

The context was even better.

At Citadel Customs:
Human Customs Agent: Sir, I can't let you take that with you.
Turian: That's a deeply important spiritual object of my people!
Human: ...it's a 15 inch serrated blade
Turian: You humans are all racist!

From ME2

Garrus: "I like to savor the last shot before popping the heat sink."

Made me laugh so hard

"Wait, that metaphor just went somewhere horrible."

Anyway, one time when Mordin is too busy to talk "Can't talk, tracking outbreak of [insert disease name here], sexually transmitted disease carried by Varren. [sharp intake of breath] Implications unpleasant."

 

[TylerC]

Pretty much anything Mordin says, I love that guy.

And of course the Spam from Morlan, although not said out loud: "'I'm sorry, my mate, I leave you for a krogan because you are not endowed as good for your species.'

Do you fear those words? Morlan's famous shop sells many enhancements."

or something like that.
