"Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live."
Ooooooooh, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

That was surprisingly good.

"I don't know for sure, but... I think I loved her"

And the entire opening monologue from Higurashi.

Not close to the first thing said, but I feel this exchange is what really sets the tone for Saints Row 2.

Judge: Mr. Gat, you've been convicted of over 300 murders. Do you really expect this appeal to work?
Johnny: I figure with the statute of limitations, it really should be closer to 250.
Judge: There's no statute of limitations for murder!
Johnny: Why the fuck not?
Definitly, and it keeps it up in the 3rd game

Actor: Your robbing a bank dressed as yourselfs?
Johnny: Hell yeah. Who the fuck doesn't want to be Johnny Gat?

"Humans are no strangers to war... after all we've been fighting for as long as we can remember, war, is all we know. In the past, we fought for immulsion, we fought for country, we fought for freedom, but all that changed after e day, for fifteen years we've been fighting for very survival, against inhuman genocidal monsters, but it is a fight we cannot continue, humanity faces extinction, unless we end this war now."

I always liked that speech. I imagine I'm not the first to post it however.

"Conquest. Since time immortal, great leaders have risen from humble beginnings to... do shit."

My favorite line from Saints Row: The Third. That and the part where they talk about how Johnny Gat and Shaundi are pop culture icons. "And Pierce? Well, who gives a fuck about Pierce?"

"I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years I've ruled as Tamriel's emperor, but for all these years, I've never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness, a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh, 433. These are the closing days of the third era, and the final hours of my life"

*cue epic oblivion theme*

"In 2291, in an attempt to control violence among deep space miners, the New Earth Government legalized no-holds-bared fighting. Liandri Mining Corporation, working with the NEG, established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions. The fight's popularity grew with their brutality. Soon, Liandri discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise. The professional league was formed; a cabal of the most violent and skilled warriors in known space, selected to fight in a Grand Tournament. Now it is 2341. 50 years have passed since founding of DeathMatch. Profits from the Tournament number in the hundreds of billions. You have been selected to fight in the professional league by the Liandri Rules Board. Your strength and brutality are legendary. The time has come to prove you are the best. To crush your enemies; to win the Tournament. "

The whole opening bit for Bioshock 1, "I'm gonna KILL Praxis!" in Jak II, and the first and last lines in the opening for Jak 3 ("By order of (blah blah blah), you are hereby banished to the Wasteland... for life" and "I smell a storm coming")

Dear Humanity,
We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"
