The best of EU quotes - what's your favorite??

"I'm too old for this, I'm a business man, I'm too old for this, I want a drink."

Lando

 

"As a fair, broad-minded officer I should ignore that. But as a Corellian, of course I'll manage some sort of revenge." Wedge

Wraith Squadron

 

Sharr : No, she can't.
Piggy : Yes, she can.
Sharr : I'm the psychological warfare expert here, and I say she can't.
Piggy : I am three times your mass, and can take off your head with a single bite, and I say she can.

 

My favorite group of quotes somes from SoA:

"Never mind what I just said. Let's just shoot Wes." - Wedge

"I'm for that." - Hobbie

"Whats our strategy?" - Tycho

"I thought we'd all just draw and fire. But I could count down to zero, and then we could draw and fire." - Hobbie

That and "Yub Yub Commander" - Janson

 

The coolest scene ever! SBS:

"General?" the young woman asked. "I have an open channel to planetary defense."
"Very good, Anga." Garm's eyes shot briefly to the tactical display, where he saw that with all the deflections from Fleet Group One, his force was actually larger than at the beginning of the battle. "You may tell Planetary Defense to keep all sectors of the mine shell active. We won't be retreating."
Anga's face went as pale as her hair. " Excuse me, General?"
"Give me an open channel to all fleet groups," Garm ordered. "I'll need to say a few words."

Just plain cool.

 

look at my signature.... thats the best quote you'll ever find in the EU

 

Aaron Allston and Mike Stackpole, what would we do without you?
---------
From SoA

Janson: "Hey, boss, do you have a speech ready?"
Wedge: "No."
Janson: "So you're going to sound like a complete idiot, right?"
Wedge: "Once, maybe. But since I made general and have to do this all the time, I've developed the Antilles Four-Step Instant Speech."
Janson: "This I have to hear."

Tomer Darpen: "I should have known. Wes Janson. Now my life can take on the aspect of a personal hell."

Tycho Celchu: "Don't give him [Janson] a new kind of weapon. It would be like giving a lightsaber to a two-year-old."
---------
From Solo Command

Han: "Corellian to Corellian, you know what the great thing about being a general is?"
Wedge: "No, what?"
Han: "In a lot of circumstances, you can pretty much do whatever you want."
(Han gives Wedge a noogie)
Wedge: "Hey, stop it."
Han: "No, I don?t have to. Hey, you should try this general thing. You?d like it."
Wedge: "I don?t think so."
Han: "I?m going to send a message to Ackbar and tell him just what a natural you are for that rank."
Wedge: "General, I?m warning you?"
giving a lightsaber to a two-year-old."
---------
From Wedge's Gamble

Wedge: "Han Solo, you have to love him..."
Leia: "...or freeze him in carbonite, I know."
---------
From Iron Fist
Wes: "So, when you joined Starfighter Command, did you have any presentiment that someday you?d be impersonating an Ewok?"
Wedge: "Now the waist."
Wes: "Sure. You know, pretending to be an Ewok is a felony on some worlds."
Wedge: "Wes."
Wes: "And I think it?s probably against regulations to fly starfighters while performing a puppet show."
Wedge: "Wes."
Wes: "Yub, yub, Commander."
Wedge: "The things I put up with for this outfit."
---------
From Rebel Stand
Wes: "Sithspawn! I've been flirting with a nine year-old."
---------

 

Wes: Tell me about a female pilot, Twin Suns leader. She has a nice voice. Does she have the looks to match.
Wedge: Well, yes. She's nice looking
Wes: Married? Attached?
Wedge: Attached i think. Recently attached.
Wes: So who is she?
Wedge: Jay some thing. Isnt that right?
Tycho: I think so.
Wedge: Jay, Jay... Thats it, Jaina Solo
Wes: Jaina Solo?!
Wedge: Im sure thats the name
Wes: Sith spawn, I was flirting with a nine year old.
Tycho: Nineteen, and she has more kills than the three of us put together at the same age.
Wes: I guess i better apologize to her and then throw myself on her lightsaber.
Wedge: No just ask Han to shoot you. It'll be more merciful and it is his right as a father.
Wes: You're still a nasty commanding office, you know.

-p.29 Rebel Stand

 

My brand new fav..

"Everything I tell you is a Lie"...Vergere to Jacen

 

"oh sorry wrong button"
- Durga (darksaber)
This one still gets me everytime

 

Anything Wes says ever.

"No." --Jag Fel in RD. I nearly died laughing.

It wasn't really a quote, but in RS, when they blow the top off the old Jedi Temple, and it has everybody's reactions: Jaina's, Kyp's, Ganner's, Valin's, Ben's, Danni's... that part gave me goosebumps! I loved it!

Oh, and "Yub, yub, commander."

 

Elassar Targon: Elassar Targon, Master of the universe, reporting for duty.

Wes Janson: *strikes ridiculous super hero pose* Captain Wes Janson, reporting for Duty...uh, sir.

 

Changed my mind; my new favorite is the little dialogue between Jacen and Vergere.

V: ?We are playing the same game we have been playing ever since Myrkr: We are playing ?Who is Jacen Solo???

J: ?If that?s the game, I can end it right now. I know who I am, Vergere. No matter what you do to me. No matter what new torture you put me through. If I never touch the Force again. It doesn?t matter. I know.?

V: ?Do you??

J: ?Yes. I?m a Jedi.?

I love Jacen so much!

 

read first three lines of sig \/

 

"To contend with Xizor is to lose. And as far as any reasonable citizen is concerned, attacking me will also be judged a suicide"
Also good is:
SPOILER
Ganner: "NONE SHALL PASS!"

 

There are too many good quotes in Traitor!!

I hesistate to post them though for fear of spoilers.

I will say this...

Vergere = NJO Yoda ~_^

I'm thinking of carrying Traitor around like psalms or something.

From VotF about the Outbound Flight and discovering Thrawn...

Parck: "You have to understand the situation, Mara, to truly appreciate it. On one side were handpicked units of Palpatine's own private army, equipped with fifteen top-line combat ships. On the other side were Commander Mitth'raw'nuruodo of the Chiss Expansionary Defense and perhaps twelve small and insignigicant border patrol ships.

MaraSuppressing a shudder) "I appreciate it just fine. How badly did Thrawn slaughter them?"

Parck: "Utterly. I believe only one of Palpatine's shis remained capable of flight, and that only because Thrawn wanted some of the invaders left to interrogate"

I love that part.

 

You left out Corran's greatest line. "Should I have left you two unchapperoned?"

 

my fav so far . . . "None shall pass." Traitor.

"When will you leanr that everything i Tel you is the truth?" Vergere.

"Yes, I am a Jedi." Jacen

my sig . . .

"yub Yub Commander." Classis line . . .

"Jag when are men so stupid?"

gotta love that one.

"get out of my head Skywalker."

I love the Dark Tide duology!

Jacen: but i saved you life.
Corran: Details Details.
Jacen: but since I saved you life, you managed to save mine.
Corran: You know, if you're going to keep using logic against me, I'm just going to have to send you home
Jacen: Yes, sir.

oh yeah Jag . . .
"That is why I bypassed you. I came to fight a war, not to plat political games. My mission is to help you maintain your freedom, not to help gather mroe power to yourself, or to take it from you."

"brave stupid brave stupid." Corran about Fey'lya.

kay cant think of anymore cuz i dont have Rs or Rd back yet from a friend but once i get them back, trust me there will be more!

 

"None shall pass"-Ganner (the black knights voice says it everytime I was this)

"Not only am I good at this...I do it with style"-Ganner

Wedge ?I?d like to use Gavin Darklighter.?
General Salm ?He?s just a Tatooine farm boy who thinks the ability to shoot womp rats from a speeder can make him a hero.?

Wedge ?Begging your pardon, sir, but Luke Skywalker was just a farm boy whose ability to shoot womp rats from a speeder did make him a hero.?


Corran ?You can fire a blaster??
Gavin ?Don?t know if I?ll hit anything, though.?
Corran ?Point and shoot. And shoot. And
shoot.?

Corran ?As ordered. Can you get me some spare power packs for this thing??
Rima ?I?ll see.?
Corran ?That doesn?t sound very hopeful. What if stormtrooper?s raid this place??
Rima ?Ask if you can borrow some from them. All they can say is no.?

Han ?Well, uh, to tell you the truth, I?m not going,?
Leia ?Not going!?
Han ?I resigned my commission.?
Leia ?When did that happen??
Han ?5 minutes ago.?

Han ?You?re right, Hoth will warm up before she will. And I suppose mating rituals are much simpler where you come from. When you love a woman, you probably just bight her neck and drag her to your tree. But we handle things differently where I come from. We make our woman nice dinners, we compliment them, treat them like ladies.?
Chewbacca laughed derisively.
Han ?So we shoot them and drag them into our spaceships,? Han admitted. ?All right, maybe I?m not that much more civilized than you, but I?m trying. I?m really trying.?

Han ?Come on, come on, you guys! Let?s at least have an organized retreat.?
3PO ?Fine, you organize while I retreat.?

Han "That's not good,"
Leia "Han? Jacen? What's happening?"
Han "The usual, Power system's off-line, artificial gravity off-line, life support on it's last leg, big ship full of bad guys out side."
Jacen "A really big ship,"
Leia "Just like old times,"

Cant think of too many more.

 

From Starfighters of Adumar

Wedge : "sithspit what's that"
Janson: That's the sun Wedge, it's after dawn."
Wedge: "Well turn it off it offends me."
Janson: "It's a hundred thirty, hundred forty million klicks from here."
Wedge: "Well go up in your X-wing and shot it down."

 

There are far too many of them for me to point out, but one of my favorites was from Rebel Dream

"Well I can be them probably as well as I can be you. And, of course, you can be you better than I can be you. But if you're them and I'm you, everyone is thinking outside the box." - Tycho
"Good point." - Wedge
"I'm really lost." - Lando


And this part:

Jaina grimaced. "People are going to hate me. They are going to think I've become horribly stuck up."
"Thats right." Sharr gave her another smile, this one more genuine, though still definatly tinged with mockery.
"But in private-- "
"In private," Piggy said, "you continue the illusion. Though you can tell anyone you trust absolutely."
"No she can't," Sharr said.
"Yes she can."
"I'm the psychological warfare expert here, and I say she can't."
"I'm three times your mass, and can take off your head with a single bite, and I say she can."
"Excuse me?" Jania let a little shrillness creep into her voice. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm still here."
Piggy opened his eyes to glance at her, then he and Sharr exchanged looks.
"She has us on that one," Sharr said to Jania.
"She is indeed still here."
"Listen Great One," Sharr said.
"Don't call me that."

 

My fav is from that recent book where the one guy says that one line before killing a bunch of those you know who.

(no spoilers)

 

"But, it was so artistically done." -Thrawn
any line from the admiral could be up here.
