Killer Lines

[Graebarde]

If I was running a game and someone said that. I'd HAVE TO make a roll to see if the person being spoken to had bubblegum.
Sure, in the T2K world, the odds of having gum would be slim, but the 01 (on percentile dice) DOES come up from time to time.

While not from a movie or TV, the best line I heard in a ftf session I think came in the first session I was ever in. We'd just got jumped in an ambush and this kid tossed, not threw but tossed, a grenade over my shoulder that hit the rail on the truck and rolled outside. Luck, but I got pissed at the kid for real... his response, "Want a Hershey" as he sat in the same spot he'd tossed the grenade from holding a candybar for me. I tagged him with the nickname of 'Candy' from that point. He was an excellent role player and stayed in character... alas he departed to the east coast to go to college a few months later. But it was a classic line that has stuck with me for twenty years. Ye god... has it been that long!!!

The way political correctness has run amok, All In the Family wouldn't have even made it past the pilot.

It probably wouldn't make it that far...

"F*ck it... Bugler, Sound the Charge..."


Don't know where I found it, but I love it.

Might it have been from WEB Griffin's Brotherhood of War series I seem to recall one of the characters (Macmillan) said something very similar a few times - something like "F*ck it Colonel, have the bugler sound the charge".

Quite possible. Have the series, so I will reread it this weekend and find out.

Another Churchill line: "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite."
Or, General Sir Charles Napier, "Peccavi."
The fighting in the 1840's was at a time of British expansion in India. Nevertheless, there were those in Britain who doubted the wisdom of too rapid an advance, and in particular, the capture of the province of Sind, which was thought likely to lead to an overextension of lines of communication. Napier was therefore under express orders not to capture the territory. Once he discovered, however, how little resistance there was, he took the province with ease. ''Peccavi'' therefore meant both ''I have Sind,'' and ''I have sinned'' - perhaps a perfect pun.
With apologies for introducing Latin puns unto the thread...

Even more sadly I seem to recall that it was "Punch" that invented Napier's quote.
