3 of my favorites:
BSG (Saga) - (Apollo to Serina): "What's a warrior to do after losing the big one, win a few of the little ones."
ST TOS (Operation: Annhiliate!) -
(McCoy to Kirk) "Oh, and by the way, don't tell Spock that I said he's the best First Officer in the Fleet."
(Spock) "Why, thank you, Doctor!"
(Kirk to McCoy) "You've been so worried about his Vulcan eyes, you forgot about his Vulcan ears!"
ST IV-TVH - (Scotty) "Admiral, we got WHALES here!"

Not quite sci-fi, but
If you'll indulge me: Comic book icon Walt Simonson, the man who did the original Battlestar comics for Marvel, delivered one of the best dialogues I've ever read when he was writer/artist on The Mighty Thor.
In issue 380, Thor is fighting Jormungand the Midgard Serpent, (World Serpent, he's so long he circles the Earth, or Midguard. Here's the cover: https://users.ev1.net/~peanut/thor-380.jpg ).
It's a battle to the death, ancient prophecies sayying both would be killed. But Thor has been cursed by Hela, the death goddess, not to die.
The dialogue is great, but I can't reproduce it all here. But to get to the climax, Jormungand taunts Thor, telling him since he cannot die, neither will. And that Thor could have avoided their battle, and that since Thor cannot die, he'll live forever in Jormungand's belly.
The battle is epic, and masterfully drawn and written by Simonson. As Thor gathers his power for a final strike, he delivers this soliloquey to the Serpent:
"You said it yourself, Jormungand! The trouble with Godhood is that it robs you of your finer judgement! And that is why we will NEVER be the same! You are a mighty fighter, but in the end, you are only a selfish creature. While heroes...Heroes have an infinite capacity for stupidity. THUS ARE LEGENDS BORN!"
It's really fantastic stuff. Simonson's level of talent is...jaw dropping. He's so creative, yet so well read on his topics. Anything he's written is worth the price of admission. More so if did double duty as writer and artist, because then you're seeing EXACTLY what he wants you to see.
Regards,
G A |

Return of the Jedi
In the novelization of Return of the Jedi, Jabba the Hutt dropped this line on Luke right after the latter tried the "Jedi Mind Trick"
"You're Jedi mind powers won't work on me, boy. I'm not affected by you're human thought pattern."
Then Jabba said this:
"I was killing your kind when being a Jedi meant something."
Now THAT is the way to slam a Jedi-wannabe!!

One of my favorite BSG quotes: from Saga of a Star World:
Starbuck to Cassiopeia: "You certainly have a way of cutting through the felgercarb."

I'm new to BSG but it seems that most of the good lines are from,about or to Starbuck.No wonder it was a Starbuck figure mixed into my star wars toys and
not Apollo.

one film I like to watch again and again is The Omegaman with Charlton Heston and Anthony Zerbe (who I think would make a great Baltar in a new film) here is a few lines I like.
[Talking to his own image on a TV screen]
Robert Neville..(Charltons Character). Hi, Big Brother, how's your ass?
After Neville tosses Lisa a woman that also has survived. a submachine gun]
Lisa: What's this for?
Robert Neville: Comfort.
[Going mad.]
Robert Neville: Is this how it starts? A trip to the laughing academy? No you silly bastard, it starts with you asking yourself silly questions.
Lisa: Alright you son-of-a-bitch, you just hold tight. Up against the wall, you mother!
Robert Neville: My name's Robert.
Lisa: Your name's mud.

A bit of a giggler from "Greetings from Earth", if you know what I mean -
'Starbuck and Apollo, do we have to have that pair?!'
(Sire Geller to Adama, after Adama asks Boomer to send Starbuck & Apollo to pursue the Terran shuttle)
Also, wise words from Scotty in Star Trek III : The Search For Spock -
'The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.'
(Scotty to Kirk, after helping to commandeer the Enterprise by sabotaging the Excelsior)
All the best,
Ian W359
