"I'm not going to waste spells on THEM!"
"I've been here before.  There are no traps in this section."
"If I were you, Demon, I would sit back down!"
"Is this one really able to breath fire?"
"It _has_ to be an illusion - I attempt to disbelieve it."
"It can't be a beholder, we're only first level!"
"It can't talk to us like that!"
"It seems easy enough"
"It was a joke."
"It was only the wind."
"It'd be stupid to trap this!"
"It's only a naga."
"Just because you can breathe fire doesn't mean you can push *us* around."
"Just because you're a dragon doesn't mean you can push ME around."
"Just one more room..."
"Just watch, I bet I get the one item that's cursed."

"The DM's an idiot."

"The Hall of Blades?  Hey, I've got an 18 dex."
"There only a pack of kobolds."
"There's a smell of gas, huh? Well, my lantern is hooded. It ought to be safe."
"There's HOW many Githyanki sleeping bunks in this chamber?"
"There's no such thing as a bottomless pit.  Everybody knows that."
"There's no trap on the door, so let's open it"
"There's only 10 kobolds and there's 8 of us.  Attack!"
"There's only three of them.  Watch the one that looks like Death, though."
"They CAN'T have initiative!"
"They need a twenty to hit me, I'm invincible"
"They're only kobolds!"

"This type of undead can't drain levels"
"Those noises are probably nothing."
"Trap?  What trap?"
"Trust me."
"Try me, sh*t breath!"
"Wait...Dragons can only breathe fire once per day right?"
"Wait!  What's deathspell do?"
"Was that thunder, or were you rolling damage?"
"We charge!"
"We killed all monsters on this level."
"We'll untie the prisoners and lock them in the closet."
"We're in luck! The dragon is sleeping"
"Well ..., I'll touch it again"
"Well, he's OK, Know Alignment works on anybod..."
"Well, if you didn't belch, who did?"
"Whaddya mean, a pentagram only has FIVE sides?"
"What do mean feather fall wears off?"
"What do you mean, 'Green slime ain't always green.'?"
"What do you mean, 'How many hit points do I have RIGHT NOW?'?"
"What do you mean, `Your wand ran out of charges.'?"
"What do you mean, how many hit points do I have?"

"What's a wild-magic zone?"
"What's your alignment?"
"When nobody's looking, I go back to get some more gems."
"Where'd that thief go now?"
"Who's the bitch with the spiders?"
"Why is this man speaking in sign language?"
"Why is your torch flame turning blue?"
"Wonder what this button does ?"
"Yeah, I know it's dangerous, but think of the experience points."
"YO!  Grendel!  Your momma wears combat boots!"
"You don't get Humanoid 8th level wizards.  He's only bluffing"
"You don't look like a mage!"
"You may be the keeper of this stone, but I want this stone."
"You mean it was a GOOD dragon?"
"You mean they get to use the critical hit chart too?"
"You'd have to be a GOD to smile after that hit!"
"You've got 80 hit points; YOU open the treasure chest"
"Your mother was a Gully Dwarf."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"



Or, a variant of one on the list, when a character was playing with a
summoning artifact: "I see HOW MANY red dragons??!"  (They ate him)


And the ultimate famous last word:

"Oops."




-----------------------------------------------------------------
Two Liners:  (35)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

"A creature with two BABOON heads on a scaly REPTILIAN body?  With TENTACLES
 for arms?  Hunh.  Must be some stupid wizard's magical construct.
 Let's kill it."

"Diamonds ... Gold... Saphires!!! Terry!  Terry, we're rich, we're rich, we're
 fabulously wealthy!!!!  Terry...Terry...??"

"Don't worry!  The chances of me blowing a climb walls roll twice, at my level,
 are infinintesimal."

"Garth, you be the anchor.  I tie the rope around myself, take the slack [700']
 and jump in."


"He CAN'T put a black dragon against a 1st-level party!
 It has to be an illusion. I disbelieve!"

"Hey, it's only a black dragon, a vampire, and a lich.... and we've got a horn
 of bubbles!"

"How was I to know that that orc would tell the truth about us not wanting to
 come in here!"

"I drink the bottle marked POISON on the off-chance that it's the extra-
 healing potion."

"I'll just fly over the dragon's lair on my pegasus and see if it's still
 there"

"I'll poke it with my sword.." (Pool of Green Slime near cave
                opening.. it eats through metal very quickly)

"It's an illusion.  No spell can reshape the side of a mountain like that.  I
 disbelieve and walk off the 500' cliff."

"It's just a goblin.." (Or a Doppleganger caught by the PCs trying
                to steal the goblins' small hord of gold and silver)

"No, I'm sure there's some stipulation that says a disintegrate spell won't
 work if the spellcaster casts it on himself.  Here, I'll prove it."

"Ok, the dragon's asleep.  You guys wait back here with bows and stuff.
 Getafix and I will go up in front of it and cast light on it's eyes to
  blind him, then we'll blow his brains out with psionics."

"OK, O Mighty Odin, as long as you're not gonna answer my prayers, I'm gonna
 tell ya what I REALLY think of ya!"

"Oops, I spilled flaming oil on my beard.  I'd better wash it off after we
 kill this fire lizard."

"So I'm safely across the pit?  Whew!  For a minute there I was worried that
 you might remember my encumbrance penalties."

"So what if he calls the guard?  A backwater town like this can't have a very
 big militia."

"Thank God!!  A hobgoblin camp up ahead!  Maybe they can help heal our
 wounded!"

"That's right, I'm going to polymorph into a pergrine falcon and attempt to
 land on the back of one of the 12 griffons flying above us."

"The huge red dragon is flying toward me with his mouth open?  Ok, I roll for
 initiative with my bastard sword.

"The thief is dead, and we got one coffin left to open!"
"I crack it open with my +1 two-handsword"
- Guess who's in many pieces now!

"There's a company of 100 barbarians guarding the pass"
"I don't think they want us to cross these mountains."
"So what?"

"Well, *I* trust our party thief, and if he says this door isn't trapped,
 that's good enough for me."

"Well, we know he's LAWFUL evil, so he should keep his word when he promised
 not to betray us."

"What a useless scroll. It just says, HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR over and
 over again..."

"What if we drained this fountain that acts as a portal to the elemental plane
 of water with my bag of holding?"

"Ya know, since our druid's been so obnoxious, it would probably serve him
 right if we set his precious forest on fire."

"You mean this is only an 'invoke elemental' ring ? I can't control the
 elemental with it."

"You watch the door, I'll take out the Gas Spore (Beholder) that's guarding
 the treasure."

5 Fire demons rise from the pit 50 ft in front of the group
and the Mage says "No problem I have a Staff of Fire"

Beeing driven under water by crocodiles: "No problems, I can hold my breath
 16 minutes."

CLICK!
"What do you mean, 'The trap WASN'T armed.'?  What was that Remove Traps
 roll for anyway!?"

Kender to Bard "Blipdo who?" in reference to Kou-Touan goddess
materializing in the same room.

Paladin charging Dragon: "For Honor, for King, for God."
Dragon eating Paladin: "For lunch."
