Unfortunately I don't have the lines memorised, and ParagonWiki doesn't have them listed either, but my favorite line comes from the Freakshow in the Silver Mantis Strike Force.
So one Freakshow mob is bored because nothing ever happens and start a philosophical discussion on the nature of violence. It ends with the following lines, roughly paraphrased:
Freak 1: The carnage is already here, inside all of us.
Freak 2: That's so profound, man.
Then there's also every line by the Superfreak. Oh, and that part of Doc Buzzsaw's briefing is also great:
Doc Buzzsaw: She who lives by the cybernetic monstrosity powered by living coral, all too often dies by the cybernetic monstrosity powered by living coral.
Words to live by.

And look, here I am, like, totally fighting alongside YOU! This is even better then when I worked with Silver Mantis. She's, like, totally uptight, until you get to know her, y'know? But this is sooo much better than that. |

You're greeted ouside by the applause of several civilians, along with Gregor Richardson of MAGI, who says he is here to take the artifact back to the MAGI vault. With all of the eyes of the civilians on you, you hand over the artifact with a forced smile. ((You, being a Rogue, were were planning on selling it)). It's the MAGI vault anyway, you're sure that it'll be back on the market in no time. |

Basically all Clockwork dialogue in Praetoria is great.
Here's a Clockwork line from IVy's arc in Neutropolis:
CHEN SENDS ME TO AID YOU. HE NOTES THAT IF YOU DIE, HE WILL NOT CRY AT YOUR FUNERAL. NOTHING PERSONAL.
Then there's the one from the little tryst between the Freakshow and the CoT.

Nemesis: "Ah, yes. That is indeed a good question. One which will be answered shortly..."
Longbow Forces: "You are all under arrest!"
Requiem: "How did they know we are here?"
Nemesis: "Oh, that's quite simple. I told them."
Arakhn: "But they'll capture you, too!"
Nemesis: "Well, this is just another automaton. And if any of you survive, I invite you to join me and my Empire."
Arakhn: "This is all your fault, Requiem!"
Requiem: "This is all your fault, Arakhn!"
Center: "...And this is why I never invite Nemesis to ANYTHING."
All it's missing is Viridian grumbling and saying "I'll make a note of that for next time..."

Over the last few issues, we've seen some pretty awesome new bits of content as well as great dialogue- even dialogue revisions in certain missions and zones. So I thought I would create a thread where we could share some of our favorites. So far, this is one of my ultimate favorites to date:
From the last mission of the ITF:
5th Column #1: "Of course! I always think this is going to work. That's what makes me such a loyal citizen."
Arc ID: 475246, "Bringing a Lord to Power"
"I'm only a simple man trying to cling to my tomorrow. Every day. By any means necessary."
