"They sing no songs in Hel, nor do they celebrate heroes, for silent is that dismal realm, and cheerless. But the story of Gjallerbru and the god who defended it is whispered across the nine worlds, and when a new arrival asks about the one to whom even Hela bows her head, the answer is always the same: He stood alone at Gjallerbru... and that is answer enough."

One of the running jokes in our GURPS Firefly game is that the doctor, who is an accomplished fencer, is always threatening to spar with people that irritate him. In the last session, the merc, the pilot and the doctor were talking about ways to help Liza, the doc's girlfriend (the current plot). The merc kept getting on the doctor's nerves, which led to this exchange:
Doctor (to merc): You know, I haven't practiced with my sword for quite a while...
Pilot: That explains why Liza looks so unhappy.

"Like a hot knife through Buddha."
Okay, it was said while playing City of Villains. But I did say it in character.
No, it's not that simple!

Of course. That way, their strength becomes yours!
Eosin- ~ "'Wrong' is a D&Dism ~ 'I do it this way' is a Heroism."
SCUBA Hero- "If you did Turn the Palindromedary, how would you know?"
Roxanna: I need a margarita.
Niels: I don't think Dwarves make mixed drinks.
Ithan: That's because when Dwarves mix their alcohol, they get fire and explosions!
It would be wonderful. It would be like that scene in that movie that everyone quotes where the one guy says something awesome to the other guy.

What is this inn-oh-sent of which you speak?
Wilde: Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
RAH: Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

Not actully heard in game, but in an AIM conversation with a friend (edited for spelling, profanity and tengents):
Nighthawk needs a side kick man.
What? Why?
Batman has Robin. When your entire MO is being all dark, brooding and mysterious, you need some annoying kid with a huge DCV to run around and draw heavy fire for you. Why do you think Robin dressed in such bright colors? Dude was a human shield! Plus it adds levity and gives the main hero the opportunity to develop as a more human character.
Ok, lets say I agree with you. What would you do for a write up of this side kick?
I'm not sure, probably a young boy, probably dress him in yellow. Gotta carry on with the homage after all. And i would have to name him after a bird of some kind, which works better for Nighthawk as there is actually some connection there.
Yeah. So you gonna name the kid Canary?
I was thinking "the Swallow". That way on the street they could be known as Suck and Swallow

Gary (Halfling Rogue) decided to poke at the ghost above a Half-Orc warrior's grave to confirm it was real. It swung out a two-handed sword the size of a table and said "I do not mind Halflings... with the proper seasoning. Go, and leave the dead to their slumber."
Matt (Dwarf Cleric) told Gary, "You've got to be the dumbest thing I've seen under five feet tall, you know that?"

This is a cheat, because it didn't happen this week. And it wasn't in the HERO system. But it was a Pulp Superheroes game.
Let me set the scene.
We have Lawrence, playing snooty, alcoholic and corrupt English archaeologist, Reginald Spencer.
We have Charles, playing somewhat noble flying ace Sam Sterling.
We have Eric, playing a 'Shadow' type martial artist, The Zephyr. AKA 'Arthur Turlington'.
The three PCs were at a black-tie soiree in the 1930's. Reginald Spencer spots his rival archaelogist, vindictive French vixen Marie Belloq (NPC). After a short exchange of quips, the following perfect moment ensued :
Marie : Don't go getting yourself killed, Spencer. Your life is mine to end.
Spencer : Don't worry. I'll stay alive for you, Marie.. Professional Courtesy.
Marie : Since When are you professional?
Arthur, Sam (in unison) : Or Courteous?
I am the very model of the modern kaiju Gamera / I've a shell that's indestructible and endless turtle stamina. /
I defend the little kids/ and I level downtown Tokyo/ in a giant free-for-all mega-kaiju rodeo.

From a Dr Who game early on as I was learning to DM.
"Magnum in boot"
and
(no words, just a slow head shake clearly understandable as "Dont do it. He'll survive, come out and kill you with his bare hands.")
and
"What did you bring me?"
"Beam me up theyre aftrer me!"
"So.... nothing for me?"
"No nothing! Beam me up!"
"No, I dont think so..."
I had allowed my players to up their stats too high and so we had Scott Smith, with a hugely maxed out Dex who liked to carry an axe, Tsyabyarus the Time Lord with a hugely maxed INT and Drake (not so smart with his points, just a guy with a huge gun and hatred of Scott Smith)
Tsy was a klepto who also had a dislike of Scott for making him give back some of the items, but was smart enough to know not to confront Scott directly. Drake just didnt care, so when Scott went down a ladder into a long narrow pipe Drake pantomimed to Tsy pulling out a grenade and dropping it in, leading to Tsys head shake.
Magnum in boot was during a firefight. His big gun was damaged and he needed a new weapon so asked to borrow a pencil, wrote "magnum in boot" on the character sheet, handed the pencil back and then claimed he had Magnum and was going to shoot with that...
The last quote came much later. They now had a spaceship with a transmat, run by a female monk NPC from a Cult that worshipp plants. Eventually she got tired of Drakes treatment of her and demanded he bring her back a plant everytime she beamed hom down to a planet. After she hung up on him Drake looked around and found a small weed nearby, ripped it out of the ground as the pursuers are almost to him and called her back. She beamed him up and when he got abusive she kicked his ***, gently but firmly. The transmat room was covered in plants in no time.
