"A man chooses! A slave obeys." - Andrew Ryan, BioShock

In general a lot of Andrew Ryan quotes are captivating, but that one transcends thanks to both the events happening, and the realization of the plot reveal.

Gunnery Chief: This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight. Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city-buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space. Now! Serviceman Burnside! What is Newton's First Law?

Serviceman Burnside: Sir! An object in motion stays in motion, sir!

Gunnery Chief: No credit for partial answers, maggot!

Serviceman Burnside: Sir! Unless acted on by an outside force, sir!

Gunnery Chief: Damn straight! I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty. Once you fire this hunk of metal, it keeps going till it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you are ruining someone's day, somewhere and sometime. That is why you check your damn targets! That is why you wait for the computer to give you a damn firing solution! That is why, Serviceman Chung, we do not "eyeball it!" This is a weapon of mass destruction. You are not a cowboy shooting from the hip!

Serviceman Chung: Sir, yes sir!

Extremely random one but the TVs in Max Payne show a slideshow of some drama show where the dialogue goes

"My Lord"

"My Lady"

"but my Lord, I must insist!"

Fuck knows why that lives rent free in my mind.

"Aperture Science: We do what we must, because we can."

EDIT: Also: "Science isn't about why - it's about why not. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much? In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired!"

Don't make a girl a promise if you know you can't keep it.

I still use Left 4 Dead’s “pills here!” any time I’m dealing with medication. It’s an involuntary reflex at this point.

Also not really a line but the intonation of Chadley calling out “Cloud!” when he starts a conversation is seared into my psyche. Kind of like a modern version Navi’s “hey!”

Wololo - Age of Empires

I'm surprised this isn't one of the top comments. I don't even play or have interest RTS games, only ever watched friends play it as a kid and it's still stuck in my head to this day.

The Thing. You come across a guy that's infected but still alive. Clearly on the verge of turning. He gives you vital information then says

"If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself."

And proceeds to blow his own brains out.

Boss move. Much respect.
