What quote/dialogue scene from a videogame is on your mind today?
Here's mine from Dante's Inferno:
King Minos: Who comes into my house of pain?
Dante: One who loves Beatrice. Tell me where to find her!
King Minos: Hmm. (sniffs) I only smell me a traitor, glutton, and a murderer!
Dante: Sniff again.
King Minos: How dare you resume to speak with the Judge of the Dead!
I'm gonna post two, okay. both from Psychonauts. :teddyr:
1) The Milkman: I am the Milkman. My milk is delicious.
2) Razputin: Hey, is that milk regular kind, or the exploding dream kind?
The Milkman: It's fortified with what the world wants. What the world deserves.
The greatest example of Engrish:
ZERO WING
In AD 2101
War was beginning.
Captain: What happen?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's you!!
CATS: How are you gentlemen!!
CATS: All your base are belong to us.
CATS: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say!!
CATS: To thank you for your help you guys.
CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.
CATS: Ha ha ha ha...
Operator: Captain!!
Captain: Take off every ZIG!
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: For great justice.
Captain: Move ZIG.
Symphony of the night. The cheese is superb.
Richter Belmont: Die monster. You don't belong in this world!
Dracula: It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to pay me tribute.
Richter Belmont: Tribute!?! You steal men's souls and make them your slaves!
Dracula: Perhaps the same could be said of all religions...
Richter Belmont: Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!
Dracula: What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk... Have at you!
IMO, Symphony Of The Night has nothing on Resident Evil.
Barry: What. What is it.
Jill: What is it?
(facepalm)
Barry: Jill, here's a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you.
(another facepalm)
Of course, Clock Tower and the Phillips CD-I Zelda games have "sparkling" dialogue I can't think of quotes for.
Cats: "All your base are belong to us"
~Zero Wing.
Don't touch the poster at the Game Corner! There's no secret switch behind it!

Nah, you got the best with Zero Wing. Engrish cheese.
There is also the simple classic
Blood Omen: The Legacy of Kain
Bartender: The tavern is closing. Best be on your way stranger.
Kain: What?!? No mug of ale for a weary traveler from distant Corhagen. I am of noble blood and can pay you well.
Bartender: Things come in the night that no sane man would welcome.
I actually like this dialogue from Night Trap:
Jeff and Tony: Hi Eddie! Bye Eddie! Nice of you to drop by Eddie! Oh, and let us know when you want to DIE, Eddie!
"Robots kill people! A robot killed Grandma!"
-Nanao, Robot Alchemic Drive
Shifting gears, how about a more serious line?
"This can't be the way the world ends."
-Marle, Chronotrigger
(Get chills when I think about it.)
Legacy of Kain
Jester: No one sees the King. He is in mourning for his daughter.
Kain: *grabs Jester and puts sword to throat* He will be in mourning for his kingdom soon, and you even sooner if you don't get out of my way.
Kain's dialog is never terrific but does get his attitude across nicely.
Also in the same series a wonderful simile
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Ghost of the Guardian: Like a corpse buried in a shallow grave corruption rises to the surface.
"Old man Stauf built a house and filled it with toys.
Six guests came one day, their screams the only noise.
Blood in rooms, blood right up the halls!
Dripping down the stairs, hey guests, try not to fall!
"No one knows what happened that night
not one guest was even seen.
But old man Stauf is still in the house
Crazy, sick, and MEAN!"
-The Seventh Guest
Early videogame dialogue, but I still love it:
"Fighter pilots needed in sector wars! Play Astro Blaster!"
--Astro Blaster, SEGA/Gremlin 1981
"How can I take over the world when I'm on a budget? I always get stuck with cheap equipment!"
-Dr Fred, Maniac Mansion
Actually a sad moment
Death??? of Lisa Garland in Silent Hill
Lisa: Harry?
Harry: Lisa...What's the matter with you?
Lisa: I get it now... Why I'm still alive even though everyone else is dead. I'm not the only one who's still walking around. I'm the same as them. I just hadn't noticed it before.
Harry: Lisa?
Lisa: Stay by me, Harry. Please. I'm so scared. Help me... Save me from them. Please...Harry...
The scene comes as you are vested in Lisa. She has been a close ally only to learn that nothing was as it seemed and there is nothing you can do for her.
"Coins detected in pocket."
"Chicken.. fight like a robot!"
"Got the humanoid! Got the intruder!"

"I feel asleep!"
-Metal Gear (and no, that's not a typo on my part.)
"No one lives in the slums because they want to. It's like this train. It can only go where the tracks take it. "
-Cloud Strife, Final Fantasy VII
Zhao Yun: This battle... I wonder how our lord feels.
Pang Tong: Hard to say... well, I'm sure he's not jumping for joy. What about you? Are you saying you don't want to fight?
Zhao Yun: No, I have to fight. For the glory of our lord... for that... I, Zhao Yun, would gladly give my life.
Pang Tong: Good for you. Well, what do you say you and I help our kind lord into the seat of power.
- Dynasty Warriors 4
Bonus:
Xiahou Dun is still fighting despite his injuries.
