wow thank you all for this thread. it just reminds me of all the great games ive played and all the memories i have. we often overlook the great games and complain about the bad and repettitive, but read this thread and youll realize that videogames can bring us such great things. and this is what makes the medium unique i think. none of these lines would be so great if they were put in any other entertainment medium. its the participation and the investment and how personal games are that really bring out their greatness. take GLAdos's insults in portal. we appreciate them so much more because they are directed at us. she says "nobaody likes you. it says it right here. unlikeable" i think that because we are investedx in the game it is that much more funny. i thank everyone for reminding me what truly makes a great game. its the ability it has to connect to you and give you an experience that is refined and unique. thank you all.

Sam Fisher: I spent most of 88' in a ditch between Kuwait and Bagdhad. So actually, is was like a vacation.
Grimsdottir: If it makes you feel any better, I had a tough time that year too.

Fisher: Oh. Right. Yuck...
Sam Fisher: Lasers? Lasers are so...
Grimsdottir: Nineties?

Grimsdottir: I've got bad news for you, Sam, you *are* old.
Grimsdottir: The missile is closing in fast on the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan.
Sam Fisher: Wait a minute... did you just say I have to win one for the Gipper?
Grimsdottir: Dude, what does that even mean?
Sam Fisher: Never mind. You're right Grim; I am old.

Lordy, Splinter Cell quotes? There are just so many good ones, just from Chaos Theory.
Anna: The Maria Narcissa.
Fisher: Sounds like your setting me up for another blind date.
Anna: The Maria Narcissa is a boat.
Fisher: So was the last girl you set me up with.
Anna: Fisher!
Fisher: Sorry.
Fisher: Bad news.
Guard: Agh! I knew it! I knew there were ninjas around here!
Fisher: What?
Guard: Yeah, you've gotta be a ninja. How else could you sneak up and grab me like that?
Fisher: Listen, I don't know what...
Guard: Wow! A real, live, ninja! I can't believe it!
Fisher: Listen, I'm going to kill you if...
Guard: *Wow*! Killed by a ninja... cool!
Fisher: You weren't working for government during the Gulf War?
Anna: No. I was in tenth grade.
Fisher: Oh. Right. Yuck.
Lambert: Looks like there's an active alarm system...
Fisher: Let me guess - three alarms and it's over?
Lambert: Of course not! This is no video game, Fisher.
The list goes on and on.

one of my favourites from Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2
Anzanti Zhug: I am Anzanti Zhug, leader of Zhugs, very powerful, very skilled hunters. It would be very smart of you to tell me where the criminal Jedi has gone. And do speak very quick, my patience is very low.
Atton Rand: Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.
Bao-Dur: I think he wanted us to give up the General to his poorly-trained collection of bounty hunters.
Atton Rand: Ah. Well, that would explain it. Which one do you want?
Bao-Dur: I'll take the stupid one who decided to threaten us rather than shoot us when he had the chance.

Most of the good quotes I have are for Oblivion, my game library isn't too extensive right now. 
-Oblivion-
Alchemist: "Do you know what the fine for necrophelia is...? Just wondering."
-
Crantius Colto: Cleaning, eh? I have something for you. Here, polish my spear.
Lifts-Her-Tail: But it is huge! It could take me all night!
Crantius Colto: Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time.
-
Khajit in the Dark Brotherhood: "I hear the newest addition to the Dark Brotherhood is an annoying whelp not worthy of licking my boots. How's that for gossip?"
-
Owyn: "I heard a rumour that you're an idiot. Any truth to it?"
etc.

Volke: You there, in the bushes. You have until the count of five to reveal yourself before I start throwing sharp objects. One...two...four...
Ike: All right, listen. Land? Big. Ship? Small. It's not the same thing!
Boyd: Er, I wasn't really giving it my all either...
Mist: That is such a lie.
Boyd: I need to set a good example for Ike!
Ike: I'll take your word for it.
Gatrie: If we weren't being pursued, I'd strip off this armor here and now!
Titania: Then I'm glad we're being pursued.
Naesala: Call it a miscommunication. One of those unfortunate little misunderstandings that happen now and again.
Marcia: Oh, nice line, chump. I'm swooning.
Black Knight: Tell me you weren't stupid enough to leave it behind.
Tanith: If it wasn't for that imperial order, he'd need a bodyguard to protect him from ME.
Black Knight: Is that...all there is? No challenge? No...resistance?
Volke: They say she smiled as he pulled the sword from her breast and forgave him as her life's blood spilled into the street.

I always liked Max paynes film-noirish remarks:
"The world was out of joint. I was hallucinating. I had to get away."
"There was a blind spot in my head, a bullet-shaped hole where the answers should be. Call it denial. I wanted to dig inside my skull and scrape out the pain."
Poor Max. He's such an unhappy bunny.
-
From No One Lives Forever, who could forget:
"You look like you need a monkey."
-"Excuse me?"
"I have a very fine monkey for you. Only twenty dollars, American."
-"Sorry, but I don't want a monkey."
"What did you say?"
-"I said I don't want a monkey."
"Why not?!"
-"Because I don't like monkeys!! Now get that filthy beast away from me!"
"Are you insulting my monkey?!"
-
And to end on a quote from that swashbuckling adventure Monkey Island II (and several other Lucasarts games):
Hi! I'm selling these fine leather jackets!

"You are in a computer game."
Half-Life 2- Wallace Breen:
"[T]here is really no place in this enterprise for a rogue physicist."
Rogue physicist? Bwa ha ha, so funny and yet descriptive.
Half-Life 2 Episode 1- Alyx Vance:
"Is Dr. Kleiner really telling everyone to... get busy?"
'Nuff said there...
