[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 1138794, member: 2013"] Here's a small sampling of quotes that have at one point or other disrupted my campaigns: *Shaking head* My father went the same way... (from one of the Naked Gun movies, said after an utterly improbable PC death) Zugzug? (Warcraft - this is the official language of orc tribes and it's ALL they ever say) I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. (2001) Do not call to God for help... he is on MY side! (The Abominable Dr. Phibes - great Vincent Price oldie with the perfect insane but brilliant BBEG) Mister, I've travelled from one side of this universe to the other, and I just want you to know you're the most understanding person I've ever met. (Forbidden Planet) Rage taking over... (Mystery Men) Maybe you should put some clothes on if you want to keep fighting crime today. (Mystery Men) If you do not learn to control your anger... Let me guess... 'your anger will control you'! *pause* That's what you were going to say, wasn't it?!?! Umm... not necessarily... (Mystery Men is a great source of quotes. :) ) ...unlike other Robin Hoods, I can speak with a British accent. (Robin Hood: Men in Tights) Three from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: You know, it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock and about to die of asphyxiation (replace with appropriate circumstance), that I wish I had listened to my mother when I was a boy. Why, what did she say? I dunno, I wasn't listening. (after a Deux ex machina save of the party) Ford: Yeah... I planned it this way. Arthur: What?!? Ford: I told you, I planned it... Don't knock it, it worked. (from the BBC version of Hitchhiker's Guide - references the salvation of Ford and Arthur from deep space by being spontaneously teleported into Xaphod Beeblebrox's passing ship that is outfitted with an infinite improbability drive) The answer is... *pause* ...you're not going to like it... And one from Zork (who remembers this one?): *Covers eyes* If I can't see him, he can't see me. Three most popular command words for wands IMC (I'm REALLY dating myself here): XYZZY Plugh 5 to the left, 5 to the right, 5 to the left [b]Other popular "in jokes:"[/b] That's what SHE said... (repeated after every thing the other person says... this DOES get funnier after a while) Prepare to receive your purification!!! (Clerics or paladins, referencing an old PC whose cleric literally went insane and would attack anything that moved, screaming this) [/QUOTE]
