And the Outcasts are getting philosophical. I suppose you have to have something to occupy your time while you're standing around posing:

 

[NPC] Scrounger Buckshot: Well, yes, I see your point on that issue, but it doesn't change anything. Destiny is destiny.

 

[Delta]

Inside the University lab in Steel Canyon:

 

[NPC] Lab Instructor: Well, you make a very convincing case, I must say. If I were, perhaps, a baboon.

[RikOz]

In Brickstown:

 

Juicer Freak: If all else fails we could just blow stuff up. I'm okay with that.

 

 

In Grandville:

 

Crab Spider Slicer: Safety, soldier! Safety! Safety! Safety! Use it!

 

 

Peter Stemitz in FF:

 

How is it with you, fellow righter of wrongs? Seen any babes today?

 

 

In the ToT mission that sends you to Praetoria:

 

Nerva Spectral Daemon: They said Praetoria was shades of gray. This looks awfully blue to me.

When the programming doesn't stray far from the script:

 
[NPC] Zeus Class Titan: If anyone gets through, your career is over.
[NPC] Operation Officer: If anyone gets through, your career is over.
[NPC] Hercules Class Titan: If anyone gets through, your career is over.
 

And in a subsequent spawn:

 

[NPC] Zeus Class Titan: We must maintain a strong perimeter.
[NPC] Hercules Class Titan: We must maintain a strong perimeter.
[NPC] Hercules Class Titan: We must maintain a strong perimeter.

Last night, running the Freakish Lab of Dr. Vahzilok - 

 

Hopkins says, "What do you mean, 'They're not ready' ? " 

This entire bit between Hopkins and the scientists that are working on the Paragon Protectors is quite amusing to me.

Hey Carson, before you start neg'ing my character's appearance, perhaps you should look in a mirror.

Who writes their dialog? I'd expect something like this from the Warriors, given their theme, but the Skulls?

 

[NPC] Death Head Soldier: Begone, woman. I must fight now.

Citizen walking by:

"So I said to my cou... Lord Nemesis is watching you, <character> ...sin that I just don't know about these Vanguard guys."

I did a spit take when my tired eyes misread "p" for 'o".

Okay - this is stretching the theme a bit. But it's superheroes and it's dialogue. And it's FUN. So... 

 

Quote

"I found out the Master's racket.  I don't think even the Guardians know this plan, and it's reprehensible."

"Reprehensible?  For a guy who once posed as a Korean guru just to attract thirty three thousand impressionable teenage kids to a rally in Metro Stadium and hold them for ransom, he must be going some for you to call him reprehensible."

"I nearly went broke that year.  Besides, you'd be surprised at how many followers I still have.  What this clown's doing is worse.  Much worse."

Lex Luthor and Superman - From Elliot S! Maggin's Novel "Last Son of Krypton"

(Obviously the classic silver-age versions of these characters - Lex is NOT a corporate tycoon - he's in his original full mad-scientist mode, and his relationship with Superman is on-again, off-again hatred/respect. Heh.  )

Two Characters with Beam Rifles doing the Dark Astoria arcs:
"We'll cross the streams!" 
"You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client - the nice lady, who paid us in advance, before she got eaten by Mot..."

I posted this about 3 years back in screenshots. But I realized that it's appropriate here as well. 



"Uhm... Guys? GUYS?"  *sigh...*
