Dialogue You'd Like to See Slipped into Novels

[F. King Daniel]

"Why not Zoidberg? "

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

From The Princess Bride:
"Surrender."
"You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept."

"That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me."
"It won't be the last."

"You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles."

"There will be blood tonight!"

"Please consider me as an alternative to suicide."

"We'll never survive."
"Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has."

I can definitely see those in a NF book.

 

[Captain Clark Terrell]

^Definitely. The first one has Calhoun written all over it.

--Captain Terrell

 

[Idran]

To be fair, I can see literally any reference to any pop culture in an NF book.

 

[Captain Clark Terrell]

"That was shortly after President Trump was ousted."

 

[JonnyQuest037]

ZOMBIE THREAD!!!

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

"That was shortly after President Trump was ousted."

Hmm. How do we know that the Trump Administration isn't the focal point in time where the Mirror Universe diverges?

Hmm. I could also see that line appear in an SCE story, with Captain Gold making a reply that involves the word, "mamzer."

 

[Captain Clark Terrell]

Hmm. How do we know that the Trump Administration isn't the focal point in time where the Mirror Universe diverges?

In that case, the MU line could be, "That was shortly after President Trump avoided impeachment."

 

[Dayton Ward]

In the MU, it would be Emperor Donald I.

 

[Tuskin38]

I would would love to see the Doctor Who line, "wibley wobley, timey wimey", worked into a time travel Trek novel.

It wasn't quoted in dialogue, but the entire line from 'Blink' was included next to a quote from Einstein before chapter 1 of DTI: Watching the Clock.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

How do we know that the Trump Administration isn't the focal point in time where the Mirror Universe diverges?

In IAMD, Mirror Phlox points out that there were differences in classical literature going back centuries.

Does that mean Vader killed Obi-Wan on Mustafar in MU ROTS?

 

[Allyn Gibson]

Does that mean Vader killed Obi-Wan on Mustafar in MU ROTS?

The tie-in video game for Revenge of the Sith had an "Anakin wins" alternate ending. You killed Obi-Wan, and then you got a cut scene where Anakin assumes control of the galaxy as Darth Vader. Perhaps in the MU, that was the original version.

 

[Doom Shepherd]

"... he just ran in..."
"God dammit, Leroy!"
