“Tell Rain she’s a bitch.”

Actually, since I hope to let go of that by the time I die, here’s a different one.

“Bah, caf food. It looks edible though.”

Either “I will fight you untill my last breath, you-”  
Or, “All Right! It worked!”  
Maybe, “So that’s what a Valkyrie looks like…”  
Or, if I’m in the right mood, “With my last breath, I curse you… Zoidberg!”  
Perhaps, “Well that was a good one. I wonder what’s next.”

“Cthulhu! Oh no…”

“For the last time, there are no brown bears in this part of the woods.”

“I’m gonna go get a shower.”

“Did anybody hear a ‘click’?”

(gasping) “At Laaaaaassst”

“Clip the red wire. You’re sure about that?”

“'ello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
