With so many iconic phrases, both breath taking and amusing, I'm interested to know what lines of dialogue stick with you and why. Is it the turn of phrase? The delivery? The context in which the line is spoken that adds to the drama or humor?
For me, it's all about Eadric the Pure. Pretty much every line of dialogue he gets in the Trial of the Crusader 5-man is amazing. Well acted, well scripted, with just the right balance between pomposity, noble righteousness and a sort of bemused sense of humor and enjoyment about the whole concept of the Argent Tournament. If I had to pick one line, it would be his final one: "I yield! I submit! Excellent work! May I run away now?"
Yes, you may Eadric. But please, come back again soon. You're awesome.

"I will seek out my enemies, and woe betide those who set themselves against me."
In fact, pretty much anything said by Varian Wrynn during the storming the Undercity event.

TASTE THE FLAMES OF SULFURON!!!!!11!!!1!

Minions, servants, soldiers of the cold dark, obey the call of Kel'Thuzad!
...I still like it even after far too many Naxx runs.

When leaving vendors that ends the vist with the words:
"Have a good one"
I always reply: "I have - I always have"
I dont know what that one exactly is, but my guess is as good as yours. ;)
Frank Sep 9th 2009 9:52AM
when leaving vendors that end with "see ya later!" i always say "see ya lamer!"
Agerath Sep 9th 2009 8:40AM
I love C'thun's whispers.
Marlon Brando as an old god?
That'll do.
Namy Sep 9th 2009 8:40AM
I know this was already mentioned in the original post but it gave me shivers the first time I heard it. Epic :)
"Imprisoned for ten thousand years. Banished from my own homeland. And now you dare enter MY realm? You are not prepared..."
Tirrimas Sep 9th 2009 10:01AM
I LOVE the snarl the actor puts into it. Grrrrowwwllll.
Evelinda Sep 9th 2009 10:09AM
yeah, i'm so for this one as well... i've always had a big soft spot for illidan, but this... this goes beyond that. its a chilling vision of things to come!
Bubsa Sep 9th 2009 8:43AM
No no no no NO NO NO NO NO!

I love Yogg-Saron's dying lines.

"I have seen worlds bathed in the Makers' flames, their denizens fading without so much as a whimper. Entire planetary systems born and raised in the time that it takes your mortal hearts to beat once. Yet all throughout, my own heart, devoid of emotion... of empathy. I... have... felt... NOTHING! A million, million lives wasted! Had they all held within them your tenacity? Had they all loved life as you do? Perhaps it is your imperfection - that which grants you free will - that allows you to persevere against all cosmically calculated odds. You prevailed where the Titans' own perfect creations have failed.
"...I've rearranged the reply code. Your planet will be spared. I cannot be certain of my own calculations anymore."
- Algalon the Observer
Now, I have to admit, I've never heard his dialogue in-game. But just listening to him on youtube is enough to send a shiver up my spine. However, if I have to contribute something that I have heard in-game...
"I knew the prince would be angry but, I... I have not been myself. I had to let them out! The great one speaks to me, you see. Wait--outsiders. Kael'thas did not send you! Good... I'll just tell the prince YOU released the prisoners! Ahahahahahaha!"
From Warden Mellichar in the Arcatraz. Really, the voicework for that whole encounter was just solid gold, but I picked the opening line because it has one of my favorite evil laughs in it.

I've not heard that but whilst reading it I initially thought this sounds very familiar to the epic speech from Bladerunner. I dont know it off by heart at all but its the one near the end when they guy is about to die and he says the "all these memories will disappear like tears in the rain" bit.
I'll have to go on youtube and have a listen.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time … to die.

All of the dialogue from the Kil'Jaeden fight. The voice actors for Kalecgos and Anveena knocked it out of the park.
Magealitious Sep 9th 2009 8:48AM
"I am the lucid dream..
The monster in your nightmares...
The fiend of a thousand faces...
Cower before my true form.
BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF DEATH!"
Makes me go all weak at the knees.
/love Yoggy :3

"I'm gonna light you up sweetcheeks!"
Also, any male goblin vendor saying "Ahhh, a potential customer....."
pietrex Sep 9th 2009 8:49AM
'Interlopers! You mortals who dare to interfere with my sport will pay... Wait--you... I remember you... IN THE MOUNTAINS... But you... what is this? Where am--'
This is the main reason I still run Ulduar. Pure epicness. Putress in the Wrathgate cinematic was awesome too.
gboyd Sep 9th 2009 8:52AM
I love the Grand Apothecary Putress as quoted up above (possibly a page or two back) It's just pure awesome.
I also like "You no take candle!" As if it was the most sought after treasure in the game!
And there is something naughty about the way female vendors say "My goods are of the highest quality!"
