[QUOTE=kaylasdad99] [QUOTE=BrainGluton] 50?: “What? I don’t know that!” [/QUOTE] Some call him Tim. [/QUOTE] No, no, no. Tim was the enchanter that led them as far as the Cave of Caerbannog (where Sir Bors and others are killed by the rabbit.) At the other end of the cave, at the Gorge of Eternal Peril the remaining knights meet the Bridgekeeper, who says this line upon being asked for further clarification to one of his five questions. THREE questions! ---

[QUOTE=Malacandra] Unnamed Romulan captain, _Balance of Terror_, original series [/QUOTE] Bah, the only one I might have guessed too. I was going to use Khan’s last words, but they’re taken from Moby Dick, so I’m avoiding the confusion over that one by using another ST quote. 1. “Perfect.” 2. “You will.” ---

[QUOTE=Khan] 55.) “From hell’s heart I stab at thee. For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.” [/QUOTE] I was going to post this one, its Khan’s last line in TWOK, but its also taken from Moby Dick and might be in one of the film adaptations. [QUOTE=Khan] 56.) “It’s been… fun.” [/QUOTE] Gawd awful, Captain Kirk’s last line, as he dies from bridge failure. [QUOTE=Khan] 57.) “To be, or not to be.” [/QUOTE] General Chang, who doesn’t believe in evasive manoeuvres. [QUOTE=Khan] 58.) “Don’t let it end this way, Captain.” [/QUOTE] Chancellor Gorkon, making purple Klingon Blood canon. [QUOTE=Khan] 59.) “Now you pay the price for your lack of vision!” [/QUOTE] The Emperor in Star Wars? I thought his last line might have been “And now Young Skywalker, you die”, but as is the case I might be wrong. ---

**46** Is that the guy from Saving Private Ryan? (you know the one told the story about ignoring his mother because he was too grown up and of course now he calls for her because it is soooooo ironic, or cheep writing, I get them confused) ---

Too easy, clearly… #68 “What will it be, then? How will you do it, my Amadan-Na-Briona?” #69 “Cullyn” #70 “Listen to this! ‘Alas, ill rule in Hellas…’” (not strictly a fictional character, I will admit) #71 “Fly, you fools!” (ok, _that_ one is easy) #72 “See?” ---

I thought his last line might have been “And now Young Skywalker, you die”, but as is the case I might be wrong. It is actually “And now, young Skywalker, you _will_ die.” Here’s mine: #73. “What’s that smell?” ---
