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!

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!
Ah, the good old days.

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.
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

Don't touch the poster at the Game Corner! There's no secret switch behind it!

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

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. 

Ah, the good old days.

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!

Shifting gears, how about a more serious line?

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. 
Ah, the good old days.

"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
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."
