Kinda weird; make up a quote for an established character

Yeah, I know. This’ll drop faster than a led zeppelin snrk, but then again, most of my threads do.

Just an errant thought while playing around with a fanfiction idea I had, and I thought it might be a fun idea for others to play around with. Just make up a quote for a character from a movie, book, show, play, videogame, etc. Try to capture the character with the quote.

As for mine, I was toying with an idea of putting a few characters from Square-Enix’s other licenses into the world of the first Final Fantasy Tactics (since they’ve already done the parallel universe thing to have Cloud from FFVII cameo in the original release, and now Balthier from FFXII in the upcoming PSP re-release). So I had this quote from Frog (from Chrono Trigger), as he attempts to use the Grand Dream without his allies presence.*

“Is this a dream? Perhaps… or perhaps for the first time I am truly awake? If I call on them, am I inviting my friends into my dream, or trying to bring my dreams into reality? Nay, I shall not tilt at windmills… Mura, Masa, Mune, by the power of this gold rock and my memories of comrades, dream across time and fight!” -Glenn, aka Frog
*Yes I know their sisters name is Doreen. But I thought Mura, given the legends of the Muramasa as the Masamune’s rival, made it a more appropriate name. I bend the rules for my fanfiction, since I have no intention of posting it anywhere.

Garrett, from the Thief games, transposed into a political mystery/drama scenario, in which a politician has demanded that he steal something incriminating from a rival.

“I can’t believe I’m working for a politician. These guys do nothing but draw a fat salary and make life more complicated for the rest of us. I used to have higher-class clients, like loansharks. Still, the target is a politician, too. He should have plenty of nice, portable wealth lying around for me to ‘tax’. And the rent is late.”

Lord Vader, upon hearing Tarkin say that Leia “may yet be of some use to us”: “And when you said, ‘Terminate her immediately,’ how long did you expect me to stand around waiting?”
