I agree the Luddites have some of the funniest quotes. I was laughing when I saw the "How to go limp" quote.
Plus I've seen a couple Luddites say "Does this mean I have to throw away my PSP?"
Ok, I have a slightly more specific question along these lines. Who, among you devs, is responsible for the Deviner Maros text? That man can make your head hurt if you try to hard to undersatnd.
Speaking of Maros and NPC text, I did the Calystix mission with my Plant dominator... I come up to the first spawn of Freaks, and hit them with my AOE confuse. On of them pipes up with something like
"Isn't it about time I stopped this self-destructive behavior?" right as he smacks his buddy.
I overheard a great line today, just as I was stepping on to the ferry...
"Is it wrong that most guys I know think Ghost Widow is kind of hot?"
Message I got when I walked into my mission:
"Losers didn't even post a guard. And the penalty is a beating with severe malice, courtesy of Johnny-Fever."
Man that makes me sound bad @$$ 
Moncton - 50 PB
Borealys II - 50 Storm/Rad Def.
Capt. United - 47 MA/SR Scr.
Storm Pegasus - 33 Storm/Elec Def.
Diamond Nights - 13 DB/SR Scr.
"Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the presence of fear, yet the will to go on."
Luddite Friar: "Illustration 4 is entitled, 'How to go Limp'"
Luddite Torch Bearer: "So does this mean I have to give up my PSP?"

Actually, they're a bit different. You can find crumpets in the US, if you look hard enough.

Overheard in St. Martial....
Metal Swiper: "'Freakshow' is okay. I wanted it to be 'Horrorshow' but what ya' going to do?"
Elsewhere in St. Martial.....
Marcone Gunner: I REALLY do not want to know why you need to buy a hacksaw and 5 gallons of Hydrochloric acid.
Finally, said by a Freakshow Tank in a certain mission.....
"1t's n0t1hng Pw3rs0nn4l, but I c4n'7 w4yT t0 t3s7 0u7 t3h p0w4r 0f m n3w b0di!"
He actually says something in a clue after you beat him, but I'll let you read that one for yourself when you get to that point.

Probably done, but anyway...
Heard in mercy, I think, by a npc.
"Those ghosts in Port Oakes are really scary, but who're you gonna call?"
hehe, i saw this today.
Oh no the coolest Entrance Message has to be: "Anyone home? It's the frikin Avon lady. Come get some samples."
That was Terror Corps MoD for about a week

Heh, I got that yelled at me this morning.
I was doing a mission when I came across Bob Fuse-y singing and dancing. Another freakshow had a boombox out for him.

Yeah, I really liked that one too.
Fortunata Mistress, overheard in Primeva: "I see water. Lots of it. I'll let you know when things get interesting."
Decided to take on a couple of Goldbrickers that were throwing dice in an alley.
"Finally! A SHOOT SOMEONE UP Game!"
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
My blaster was flying into the Wolves Throat while stealthed and overheard one of the guards call into his walkie-talkie, "There's definately someone near my position." I didn't stick around to see if he was referring to me...

Thats a good thing, because an Egg Mc Crumpet really sounds weird. Glad there is no overlap there.
In St. Martial...
There's a Family and Arachnos enemy in the whole "drug-dealer" setup together.
The Arachnos bot says, "How much for that Statesman HeroClix figure?" (Something along those lines, I think that's exact)
I couldn't stop laughing.
This game needs Guitar Blast.
bumpage for sheer comedic value.
By the catapillars hooka you WILL smile!
Here's some random conversations I overheard in Pocket D....
Tsoo Raver: Silence. Speed. Grace. There is no substitute for those.
Freedom Corps Raver: Perhaps not, but a good lawyer always helps.
Skull Raver: Is it true that Superadyne enhances your strength, but kills brain cells?
Troll Raver: Huh?
Troll Raver: Girls dig green.
In Grandville, on the other hand, some Bane Spiders are working on something and the one supervising says.............
Bane Spider: You think I'm driving you hard? Could be a Fortunata overseeing you... They know how to motivate, if you know what I mean.
Bane Spider (Same one): And, No... I didn't mean that in the 'good' way.

One of my favorite that I saw just yesterday, I was running through an Aurora Borealis mission full of Longbow.
As I ran up to a group the Longbow Spec-Ops turned away from me, pointed off the the side, yelled "LOOK OVER THERE!", then went into stealth.

One that always makes my hidden stalker a little nervous is when an NPC says something along the lines of " I could have sworn I saw something".
"I think I'm cute. I've got gold medals.
I've got the moves that make them all tap out.
The Angle Slam, the Ankle Lock.
Marty Jannetty...still can't walk.
I'm just the sexy Kurt.
I'll make your ankle hurt.
I'm just the sexy Kurt.
I'll make your ankle hurt."
