Memorable phrases from adventure games

Everybody who has played Syberia will remember Kate saying: "No need to go down there" when you clicked on something that wasn't interesting or useful to her. I guess every avid adventure gamer has phrases like this stuck in his/her head. What phrase are you walking around with these days? Or are there phrases that you find so ridiculous/interesting/weird etc that you want to share them with us? I'll start with the following:

"Nope. Those don't work together." Gabriel Knight in GK3, when you try to use two things on each other.

"Want some Rye? Course ya do!" ~~~~ or something like that.

Who says that in what game?

I have another one:

"You c'n keep that." Tex Murphy's police 'friend' Mac Malden, in The Pandora Directive, when Tex wants to show him something that doesn't interest him.

Poor memory of an octogenarian ... Of course it was rye not gin !!!!

"Return to Zork".
Boos... keeper of the old mill.

"I am rubber you are glue"

These things don't work together.

"Ready to snarl, Carl?"

Stauf, heard about 30 billion times in the 11th Hour...I'll be traumatized for life by his bad puns.

"What are you ?"

..when Ben meets Mo for the first time... in Full Throttle...

Pinion · 03-21-2007, 02:13 AM

"If you'll just buckle down and make ten more doilies..."

-Kyrandia 3 (forgot the characters name, sorry)

"Just more buildings down this road" Gabriel in Gabriel Knight 2.
It sounds like he's singing that line, not saying it.

Its not a saying but Rinsewind the Wizard would giggle and say stop doing that when you poked him with the mouse pointer.

Bobske · 03-21-2007, 06:00 AM

"How can you walk around without a brain?"

Murray ofcourse!

Psychocandy · 03-21-2007, 06:33 AM

"Not picking that up".
"It's attached pretty well".
"It's attached pretty well".
"Not picking that up".
"It's attached pretty well".
"Not picking that up".
"Not picking that up".

As you've probably gathered, I always insisted upon Manny Calavera trying to use or grab anything in sight.

The gate opens
The gate closes

"I don't see anything special about it..." constantly repeated by Guybrush in MI2.

I did chuckle a little to myself when I asked him to look at the painting in Largo's bedroom and he remarked:

"I don't see anything special about it...

...Then again, I never really have understood art".

I think it took about five playthroughs before I noticed that one.

Currently apropos:
"Come here, Pussycat"

serious guy · 03-21-2007, 08:47 AM

"I spent several months there. Learning the ancient art of
sitting on my butt. Feathers" -CROW in Dreamfall

numble · 03-21-2007, 08:54 AM

"Nonsense. It makes me feel great. Smarter. More aggressive."

I always liked making Sam cry in Sam and Max when you constantly try to pick stuff up that you can't.

Crapstorm · 03-21-2007, 11:56 AM

A phrase I often utter during adventure games is, "well, that made a lot of sense."
