Hello people
I'm putting together a feature for my website celebrating classic DS dialogue. Having wrung my memory of pithy puns and put-downs throughly dry, I thought it'd be fun to open the gates and get everyone else's favourites too.
So, over to you guys. Basically, the obscure, the witty, the absurd, the moving - any character quote that you think deserves celebrating. Note it here in this thread, email, PM or whatever.
Thanks and stay spiffy
Stuart :)

And you just happened to have this list tucked away in a desk drawer, right Pepe? [smrtasb]

In a previous life, I wrote DS trivia questions for another forum, so, yes, indeed, I have a list of literally hundreds of quotes from the DS episodes. The ones I provided are but a small fraction. But then, I had to leave some really good ones for other people to post. [wink2]
-
Roger: "You can't keep the jet set down". 8)
-
I thought of another one. 8)
Roger--"We'll be back!!." (after Quentin's ghost drove them out of Collinwood) [flower]
-
Quentin Collins: Of course a woman is going to kill me. I wouldn't have it any other way!
Nicholas Blair: (to a shocked Angelqiue upon his return) At the risk of sounding banal... It's a small world isn't it? >:D
~Penny Dreadful~
-
Carolyn (to a drunk Joe Haskell): "Joe! You're potted!"
Maggie (to Vicki): "Your're a jerk. J. E. R. K."
Gerard
-
Willie: ((to Barnabas)) Yeah, you would have trouble sleeping, wouldn't you?
That was a REALLY good one. I'm sorry that I don't know the exact quote, but this was during the Adam experiment when Barn wanted to use Maggie for Eve. Thought that line packed quite a punch. ~DJ

Thank people :) I've added a quote feature the homepage of my site, which I'll keep updating with new dialogue that catches my ear.
