Good ol' Police Squad! (In Color!)
"We're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Mrs. Twice...we would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then."
"And Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln!"
"Look out! He's got a knife!
Look out! He's got a gun!
Look out! He's got a signed Picasso!"
"There'd been a recent wave of gorgeous fashion models found naked and unconscious in laundromats on the West Side...unfortunately, I'd been assigned to investigate holdups of neighborhood credit unions. I was across town doing my laundry when the call came in...."
"Bollocks. What are you gonna do, eh? We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns."
"No. What you have are bullets and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing, because if I am, you'll all be dead before you've reloaded."
--Mr. Creedy & V, V for Vendetta
"He who controls the spice controls the universe!"
--Baron Harkonnen, Dune (1984)
"I WILL KILL HIM!"

"Nothing remotely human could have survived that."
"That's the point, Group Captain. The Daleks aren't even rrrremotely human."
--Group Captain Gilmore & the 7th Doctor, Doctor Who "Remembrance of the Daleks"
(I love the way that Sylvester McCoy rolls his "r"s.)
I'll often try to fit lyrics from Queen songs into regular conversation, particularly "It's a Kind of Magic," "Princes of the Universe," & "Who Wants to Live Forever?" And while not a Queen song, I also try to use "The Freaks Come Out at Night" whenever possible.
"Ramirez was an effete snob. I took his head and raped his woman before his blood was cold."
--Kurgan, Highlander
"They say your life flashes before your eyes when you die. And it's true, even for a blind man. I grew up in Hell's Kitchen. The politicians & real estate developers call it Clinton now. But a neighborhood, like everything else, has a soul, and souls don't change with the name."
--Matt Murdock, Daredevil
"Can one man make a difference? There are days I believe and others when I have lost all faith."
--Matt Murdock, Daredevil
"I'm going to let you in on a little secret, Matt. This doesn't look like a law office, OK, it's starting to look like the set of goddamn Sanford & Son. Every time I walk in here, I keep waiting for Lamont to walk down the stairs."
--Foggy Nelson, Daredevil
"I didn't kill your father."
"Liar!"
--Daredevil & Elektra, Daredevil
(I love that raspy whisper that Elektra uses when she says, "Liar!")
"What Russian novel, embracing more than 500 characters, is set in the Napoleonic Wars?"
"Hmm. War & Peace."
--Raphael & Donatello playing Trivial Pursuit, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Long before Christopher Eccleston turned "Fantastic" into a catch phrase on Doctor Who, I was saying it all the time, trying to emulate Professor Jordan Perry in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II.
"I'm going to take a nap... And then I'm going to call some hospitals."
--Carl, Aqua Teen Hunger Force
"Thousands of years ago into the future..."
--Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past, Aqua Teen Hunger Force
"Excuse me, Jet?"
"What is it?"
"Drop the guns, now!"
"You said that there were 3, not 4."
"Disinformation is sometimes necessary for both enemy and ally."
"Don't pull that Art of War crap with me!"
"Drop 'em!"
"And you, you take too long to take a shit!"
"I am going to kill this old lady if you don't put down your guns!... Don't you get it? I'm gonna splatter grandma!"
Lately I've been finding myself doing impressions of the Joker from the Dark Knight trailer:
"Evening, Commmmisssioner."
"Why so serious?!"
"It's all part of the plan."
"What do we do when we wake?"
"Keep both eyes on the sky."
"What do we do when we sleep?"
"Keep one eye on the sky."
"What do we do when we see him?"
"Dig hard. Dig deep. Run for shelter. Never look back."
--Reign of Fire
And although it's certainly not obscure for us here:
"The line must be drawn HERE! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!"

Good job Mutenroshi!
Everything ever said by Gus Hedges on Drop the Dead Donkey. Examples:
"Okay. I'm gonna get your money for ya... but if you don't get the President of the United States on that phone, you know what's gonna happen to you?"
"What?"
"You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company!"
"What?"
"You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company!"

Creepiest line ever spoken in the history of Law & Order. The episode was "Prince of Darkness". To set this scene up: The ep was all about Colombian drug cartels. At the end, the cartel starts murdering people who have testified against them. One of them is a little girl; Adam Schiff assures that she was picked up at school by her uncle. Ben Stone then says:
"She doesn't have an uncle."
"She doesn't have an uncle."

From The Sure Thing (which is much funnier than Better Off Dead):
"Gibson with the interception ... and he's got some running room! He's to the thirty ... to the forty ... and ... knocked out of bounds at midfield by Jimbo Maravici. This is Gibson's ninth interception of the season ... "He's having an outstanding year."[/i]
"Spontaneity has its time and its place!"
