And then there's Ivanova's ancient Egyptian blessing:
Ivanova: "May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk."
I like that. Powerful. :) But the best parts of Babylon 5 are Londo and G'Kar; particularly the the conversations between them. :)
Londo: "Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you!"
Londo: "But this - this, this, this is like being nibbled to death by... what are those Earth creatures called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet... go 'quack'..."
Vir: "Cats."
Londo: "Yes, cats. Being nibbled to death by cats."
G'Kar: "No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free."
Truly a classic - the two archenemies trapped in an elevator together after an explosion:
Londo: "Kill me. Come on, kill me!"
G'Kar: “You forget the terms of our surrender. The penalty for the killing of any Centauri, by any Narn, will be the death of five hundred Narns, including the perpetrators own family! But I don't have to kill you. [laughing] I don't have to do anything, and I still get to watch you die. I find this most appealing."

Londo: "We're in here!! Can anyone hear us!?"
G’Kar [in a small voice, laughing]: "I hear you."

Londo "There you see! I am going to live."
G’Kar: "So it would seem. Well, it is an imperfect universe."
Londo: "Bastard."
G’Kar: "Monster."
Londo: "Fanatic."
G’Kar: "Murderer."
Londo: "You are insane!”
G’Kar: "And that is why we'll win."
Londo: "Go be the ambassador to Babylon 5. It will be an ‘easy’ assignment. Oh, I hate my life."
G’Kar: "So do I."
Londo: "Shut up!"
:D

After the Narn liberation, the humour became oddly light-spirited: :)
Delenn: "We may be able to get the Pak'ma'ra on board to help, but they're going to need something in exchange."
Londo: "Oh, offer them my body. Another 10 minutes of this, I'll be dead anyway!"
G'Kar: "I second the motion!"
G'Kar: "Well, with everyone now on the same side, perhaps you're planning to invade yourselves for a change. I find the idea curiously appealing. Once you've finished killing each other, we can plow under all the buildings and plant rows of flowers that spell out the words, "Too annoying to live" in letters big enough to be seen from space."

The last words of the Centauri regent, the buffoon who was used as a puppet by the Draakh:
The Regent: "I have to go now, Londo."
Londo: "No... don't go."
The Regent: "I have been many things in my life, Mollari. I have been silly, I have been quiet when I should have spoken, I have been foolish, and I have wasted far too much time... but I am still Centauri and I am not afraid."

Just watched Dragon Ball Z: Abridged Episode 10/1 (DBZ parody):

Vegeta: That's it! Everyone dies! Say goodbye to your planet Kakarot !
Goku: That's not very nice.
Vegeta: Of course not! I'm f&$#ing evil!

Speaking of curses :P, here's one from China (as far as I know):
Obyś żył w ciekawych czasach.
I wish you to live in interesting times.
And another from teachers to their (rude) students:
Oby Twoje dzieci uczyły cudze dzieci.
I wish your children teach other children.

From Planescape Torment:
Nordom: Attention; Morte. I have a question. Do you have a destiny? A purpose?
Morte: Is Annah still wearing clothes?
Nordom: Affirmatory.
Morte: Then the answer is yes.

My sig right now of course from Battlestar Galactica... :) never really figured out what it means, exactly, other than everything being all right and it's time to relax.

Adama: "What do you hear, Starbuck?"
Starbuck: "Nothin' but the rain."
Adama: "Then grab your gun and bring the cat in."
Starbuck: "Yessir."


Another one I really liked was the ending comment in season 2:

Tyrol: "What do you wanna do now, cap?"
Starbuck: "Same thing we always do: fight 'em till we can't."

Or unless until 1989 television consisted of 2 hours of news+smalls parts of Bambi given out of order each day.

I don't think there was any 80's shows that we didn't get here in the early 90's. Bobby in the shower was stupid even when i was 8.

The forum heading reminds me of...

I hate these filthy Neutrals, Kif. With enemies you know where they stand but with neutrals, who knows? It sickens me.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

I once knew a Red Mage from Thay
Who dreamed of lichdom some day.
He said he knew how to do it
But he still managed to screw it

My hero, Terry pratchett, about side-effects of his Alzheimer medicine:

"A: I will tell you this little anecdote. I was on this medication recently that might have done something for me, but it turned my urine blue. And in Britain, there are some men's restrooms where it's just a long gutter, do you get me?

Q: I get you.

A: So there I am, minding my own business as it were, getting on with the matter at hand, and I am aware of a certain stare from other men who are going about their business, when I realize that a trickle of bright blue is drifting down the trough. At which point I raise my hat and say, "I'm really enjoying my visit to your planet."


:D
