"Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!"
"You fight like a dairy farmer! (How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"
"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
-"Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish-kabob! You respond with?"
-"How appropriate. You fight like a cow."
-"No! No! No! That was the response from the last insult. Doesn't even make sense when used here!" <sigh>
my favorite line is from Murray (of course!):
-"May I call you Bob?
-"You may call me Murray! I am a powerful demonic force! I am the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of darkness will applaud me, as I stride through the gates of Hell carrying your head on a pike!"
-"STRIDE?"
-"Alright then ROLL! ROLL through the gates of Hell... Must you take the fun out of everything?"
LeChuck was boasting about how his spirit form cannont be harmed, then two seconds later..."Argh! Me spirit form!"
"i can't use the baloon with that"
"hmmmnn no"
"Dmnkly!"
"I wanted someone dangerous. I wanted...a pirate! By the way, what do you do for a living?"
"Flooring inspector."
"Oh."
"Great sainted jumping monkeys!"
"Hang on, the quicksand is sucking all the cool stuff I found in that snake from my pants. Now THERE's an odd sensation..."
The "Monkey in my Pocket" song
The "Silver's Long Johns" jingle.
(I still sing them at inappropriate moments)
Look behind you, a Three Headed Monkey!
How appropriate, you fight like a cow.
Wherever you go on sea or on land. You can't ever hide from Largo LeGrande!
Brawwwk! It's me! Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate!
We're pirates, Guybrush, not boy scouts.
Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just glad to see us?
Welcome to Stans!
The map, sir! I like it when you point at the map!
Ah, it's good to be dead. Ye are glad to be dead, RIIIIGHT!?
Unholy THIS!
Beware my clicking mandibles of DOOM!
Use...artifact...with...yourself.
Dmnkly!
Stay back, Susy Slicer!
SCIENCE!! I have science here!
A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea!
"That's a duck!"
"What are you talking about, don't you see the skull?"
"This island doesn't look like a skull at all! It looks like a great, big, enormous duck! It should be called Duck Island!"
"Well, ya see...ya gotta squint and sorta turn your head and... Ooooooooh! It's just SO scary!"
"If you squint and turn your head it looks like a bunny."
The best part is that any one of those lines all by itself brings back memories of the entire conversation.
Maybe not the most memorable, but still funny
(One of many many memorable lines, all of the above included.)
And I couldn't name just one sentence. So I'll name my favourite line by Guybrush in Trial and Execution: "I don't plan on dying today".
I'd have to make a list per character per episode and it would take days, so I'll add pretty much all of Stan's lines are my favourite, but I do have a soft spot for "Your Honor, I object, the defense is grasping at sponge-shaped straws here!"
When exactly does Guybrush say that? Somewhen in court?
No, he tells Stan that when he first sees him at his stand. You ask Stan why he isn't prepping for the case (not sure if it's a compulsory line) and he says the day he can't beat you with a widly flapping arm tied behind his back, etc, etc, and Guybrush says "Well, I don't plan on dying today", and Stan answers "And I didn't plan to wear the same jacket for 20 years, but here we are".
It really doesn't stand out that much until he DOES die later that day.
EDIT: actually, I think I might be mixing two different things, because if I remember correctly, after he says he can beat you, he says "know what I mean?" you say "not really" and he says "Exactly". Or something. So it might be a different dialogue option, but it's with Stan at his Trial of the Century-y-y-y merchandise emporium thingie.
RE-EDIT: okay, found a video. It's when you're asking him how sales are going. Around 9 minutes into this video
and the Pirate I Was Meant to Be song
There were a lot of lines I really loved from Tales too.
and
"Look behind you, a three-headed monkey!"
are probably the most cited lines from the series.
Also:
"You look more like a flooring inspector."
"I'm selling these fine leather jackets." (although that's originally an Indy quote)
"Oh yeah?"
And it's mine, MINE !
oh, and that one, too :
"How can you see without eyeballs?"
"How can you walk around without a brain? There are some things no one can answer."
Also this...
"Do you know anything about lifting curses?"
"Oh, right. I know a lot about lifting curses. That's why I'm a disembodied talking skull sitting on top of a spike in the middle of a swamp."
"You seem bitter."
"I'm sorry. It's been a rough day."
I rofl'd irl at both of these just reading them on here.
You have died, I hope You saved (or something to that nature)
*guybrush comes back up*
Guybrush: Rubber Tree.
The ingrediants to grog.
and
DeSinge: Allouette, I will live forever. Allouette, Imortallité
Yeah, that made no sense at all xD.
I have never seen this. I must see this. Where was this?
XD by the way i love the skeleton song,
"Peep..."
"Word..."
I'd have to go with anything Murray says.
As for an individual line: "My name is Bobbin Threadbare. Are you my mother?"
"Oh yeah? Well what's your name?"
"Mancomb Seepgood."
"Oh c'mon, who's absent minded enough to loose TWO wedding rings?"
"BWaack! It's me! Guybrush Threepwood!"
"Shut up you!"
"Moo!"
"Moo? What kind of a duck are you?!"
Curse
"Es el Pollo Diablo!"
Murray:"I will stride through the gates of hell!"
GB:"Stride?"
M: "All right then, roll, roll through the gates of hell! Must you take the fun out of everything?"
Tales
"Theres aaaa monkey in my pocket, he's attracting all my change..."
"Guybrush threepwood, Mitey pirate"
"Bwaarp, It's me, guybrush threepwood, mighty pirate!"
Not necessarily the best lines, but the ones that jumped to my head first.
I just beat Curse Today and boy was that the most memorable line.
Theeere's aaaa monkey in my pocket,
he's stealing all my change.
His stare is blank and glassy,
I suspect that he's deraaaanged.
From memory, so there might be some mistakes. But yeah, great little song.
