Based on the idea left off by Winter's Favorite Quotes thread in the BG2 section here.

Basically any quotes/banters filled with memorable quotes, that you favor most, and let it go on from there. I know I'm guilty of posting more than one, and I'm sure many others have done the same as well.

Regardless, I couldn't see a thread for Planescape Torment around for this purpose, so here it is - have fun everyone.

And "Don't trust the skull".

[VIIIofSwords]

"Endure. In enduring, grow strong."

"Ignus wishes to burn!"

There's a lot more, but they're too long for me to try and recall them now.

[Kellen]

Nordom - Attention, Morte. I have a question: do you have a destiny... a purpose?
Morte - Is Annah still wearing clothes?
Nordom - Affirmatory.
Morte - Then, the answer is yes.

(Never played the game, but Morte reminds me a bit of Bob, from the Dresden files. And er, well that one almost had me rolling. Wish to get it though.)

[Solar's Harper]

Morte: "Psst. Hey Nordom. Calculate the easiest way for me to 'snuggle with Annah's pillows,' okay?"
Nordom: "Annah! Morte wants to 'snuggle with your pillows.'"
Morte: "Shut up! Shut up!!"
Annah: "Oh, I'll give yeh somethin' to snuggle up to! Eejit!"

(I'm pretty sure most of you can figure out what the underlining statement was. )

[Choo Choo]

Annah, upon seeing the Nameless One: Ach! I've never seen somethin' so ugly, I've not!

Morte: So, Grace... you uh, have any sisters?
Fall-From-Grace: Thousands.
Morte: Give me a moment to be delirious with joy.

And the first of my signature quotes. The irony of the floating skull considering the others weird..

The Nameless One: If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I?ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.

[Solar's Harper]

"What can change the nature of a man?"

(Trademark question )

"Get yer mitts off, ye dirty wee rat!"
"Mitts off, ye lecherous filth."

(Both of those are Annah's responses to an attempt to take her vest armor )

"I can't find any Deaders... maybe I could gut a Dustie." (Another Annah pre-joining comment)

[Cal Jones]

(On arriving at Clerk's Ward)

Annah: Old Ward. Also known as Wanker City.

This is also one of my favorites, it's so funny!

(Never played the game, but Morte reminds me a bit of Bob, from the Dresden files. And er, well that one almost had me rolling. Wish to get it though.)

I'm a huuuuuuuge fan of Morte, and every time I play PS:T, every time I hear Morte's voicing, I can't help but hear Anomen somewhere in there, a rogue Anomen... (Rob Paulsen did the voicing for both Anomen and Morte for those of you who didn't know, jic ).

That's so true. You play through these games often enough and you start to recognise the actors, no matter what accents they adopt. I was replaying Fallout a few weeks ago and started talking to to Morphius in the Cathedral and I was all, "whoa, that's David Warner!"
Jim Cummings is pretty distinctive as well.

[Alatariel]

Well, I have never heard the English files in game, so I don't recognize anyone XD However some of the Polish ones are pure brilliance, so I have no regrets (Polish Jan soooo beats the English one!). As for PT - for now, one of my favourite quotes is still in my signature. Who recognizes whose line is it? :>

I've played English PT once, but I prefer Polish version, especially the voice acting (Morte! )
As for your quote... huh... I don't know, sounds like something Morte would say. Or Fall-From-Grace, maybe?

Nordom: A query, Annah: is your tail's purpose to indicate your current level of hostility?
Annah: [angrily] What kind of stupid question is that you pikin' sod box?
Nordom: My analysis is correct. Danger! Danger!

BTW, how come I had heard almost none of those funny dialogues, even though I played the game many times?

[smeagolheart]

"What can change the nature of a man?" means a lot to me as Solar's Harper mentioned also, you don't expect that deep basic question from video games.

[Discordia]

Grace:
What are you?"
Morte: "Me? I'm the head of Vecna."

and another similar conversation...

Morte "It's a long story involving the head of Vecna. I don't want to talk about it."
Grace (amused) "That was you?

this is of course only funny if you know what the head of vecna is...maybe if you know what the eye and hand of vecna are and as how to use them you have to cut off your hand/pluck out your eye you ll figure out how this could be a fun way for a DM to play a trick on his party...or for morte to play a trick on some unsuspecting adventurers...

[Tassadar88]

There are many great quotes there but then again, everyone has read them. But the restored conversation between TNO, Morte, Annah and Ingress´teeth is made of pure win :-)

- Nordom



There's so many great ones.

[peripatetes]

I've really really enjoyed a lot of the writing in PS:T but the only one which had me splitting my sides was this:

Modron cube - This small metal toy is a replica of a cube-like creature with huge eyes on one of its faces. The toy has two legs, two arms, two folding wings, and at least eighteen points of articulation. Maybe it's a collector's item.
Nameless One - Move the arms and make sword-fighting noises.
Modron cube - The toy *clicks* and *whirrs* as you move its clockwork joints. Within moments, the tiny cube has vanquished every imaginary opponent you have sent against it, and settled back to its normal position.
Nameless One - Wave its arms and make cheering noises.
Modron cube - Hordes of imaginary creatures from across the planes cheer the cube's victory. You can almost see a tiny oily tear brimming on one of its eyes... it is a hero, the greatest cube ever to roam the Planes, and everyone loves it. In your mind, Fall-From-Grace and Annah hug it and shower it with kisses.
Nameless One - Sigh, put the cube away for future battles against the multiverse.
Morte - Morte stares at you and shakes his head.
Nameless One - "What's that, cube hero? 'Morte's a stupid skull'? Why, yes he is, isn't he, cube hero?"
Morte - "Hey! It didn't say that!"
Nameless One - "Yes it did! It said it just now!"
Morte - "Wh-- ?! Gimme that thing!"
Nameless One - "No, it's mine. He only wants to hang out with me anyway. Don't you, cube hero? Yes, you do!"
Morte - "I. Just. Want. To. Hold. It. For. A. Second."
Nameless One - "But you don't have any hands."
Morte - "I'll hold it in my TEETH."
Nameless One - "No, I think I'll just put it away for now."
Morte - "I'm gonna smash that modron cube to bits."
Nameless One - "Did you hear anything, cube hero? Neither did I!"

Sizeable hit to your lawfulness rating, but OH SO WORTH IT. If you're looking for just a short quote, the part I put in italics will do.
