"YOU STUPID CHIIIILD!! YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE ONE-TEEEENTH?!!!"

Also from Yu Yu Hakusho, which I remember so well because not only did I record that episode on my former VCR at the time, but the episode that happened to play that episode was also the last episode of Yu Yu Hakusho that aired before it was off the Toonami block and ended up in a graveyard timeslot.

Oh I got another.

"In case you haven't noticed, this isn't really a horse!" - Musica from Rave Master.

"Nothing will come out of nothing. Speak to her!" - Juliet from Romeo x Juliet

It's weird how out of all the lines in Romeo x Juliet, that line I happened to remember the most. I first saw the subtitle translation when watching the episode and then wondered how the line would be different out of curiosity and it changed to that line which felt unusual to me at the time. The funny thing is, a couple of months later when I had a Drama & Society course, I was reading The Tragedy of King Lear for the first time and recalled that same exact line in class. Then I wondered, "just what kind of lines did the script writers take from other Shakespeare plays?"

"There's no such thing as miracles. You can say that word any way you want but, in the end, it's pronounced as 'fraud'."

Some of my favorites:

"You're gonna catch emo." - Kozue from Sasami Magical Girls Club episode 1.

"Life is short, so girls should love." - Aki from Boys Be episode 9. Michelle Ruff's cute girl voice.

"Oooh, a basement!" - Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho, somewhere in season 1 where they're rescuing Yukina.

Love these comeback quotes from Yu Yu Hakusho.

Sensui: (to Yusuke) Which brings us to reason number three, why you don't even stand a slim chance of beating me: The gap between your spirit energy and mine is far too great. If your spirit energy could fill a fishbowl, mine would fill the ocean.
Kuwabara: Which ocean are we talking about 'cause, buddy, some of them aren't as big?

Narrator: Yamanade - the devil with six hands. This rare super-sensory breed of demon has six arms, which can move independently of their master.
Kurama: He's an actual yamanade.
Hiei: Teh.
Kuwabara: I don't care if he's a unicorn. Let's start this fight! We'll see how special he is when I'm smashing him.

Kuwabara: Why is Sensui talking so much? You think he's buying time?
Kurama: I don't think that's it. He's exuding as much confidence as ever.
Itsuki: You're right, Kurama. I haven't seen Sensui this happy in a long time, as he's getting to kill and prove a point.
Kuwabara: Shut up! From now on, you're in quiet time, okay?

Yusuke: Dammit! First you say I'm faster, then you get the heads up on me like I'm an old lady crossing the freeway. For just once I want some honesty from the bad guys!

from Castle in the Sky

Dola: "Gotta start talkin' like a real pirate!"
Sheeta: "I've been practicing. Um, HAAAR, matey! Shiver me timbers."
Dola: "Keep practicin'."

Charles: "Sheeta, can you make pudding? I LOVE pudding!"
Louie: "I get to lick the spatula!"
Henri: "And I like chocolate cake with that, oh, what's that frosting? It's kinda pink and swirly, with...."
Dola: "WILL YOU SHUT UP!? Ah, what can I tell you? They just... really like dessert."

There are lots of other great exchanges between the pirates that always leave me in stitches. These two examples are among them.

Ashi-taka: "Look, everyone! This is what hatred looks like! This is what it does when it catches hold of you! It's eating me alive, and very soon now, it will kill me! Fear and anger only make it grow faster!"
Lady Eboshi: "I'm getting a little bored of this curse of yours, Ashi-taka! Let me just cut the damn thing off!"

from Princess Mononoke

I was really surprised to hear Minnie Driver's Lady Eboshi actually utter a four letter word like that, especially since I was so used to her Jane in Tarzan. Even so, I think this is a better role for her.

"Don't tell a dwarf how to fight his battles!" - Ghim, Record of Lodoss War

“A boy has the right to dream. There are endless possibilities stretched out before him. What awaits him down the path he will then have to choose. The boy doesn’t always know. At some point the boy then becomes an adult and learns what he was able to become. Joy and sadness forever will accompany this. He is confronted with a choice. When this happens, does he bid his past farewell in his heart? Once a boy becomes an adult he can no longer go back to being a boy, the boy is now a man. Only one thing can be said: a boy has the right to dream. For those endless possibilities are stretched out before him. We must remember all men were once boys.”

The scene in which Sheeta attempts to impress Dola with her pirate talk from CASTLE IN THE SKY. Yes, it's an extra conversation, but who cares? It's funny, it's in character, and it also fleshes out the relationship between Dola and Sheeta.

What do you mean by "extra conversation?"

That line's actually been confusing me for a while. I know I've heard it in the movie, but every time I watch my DVD of it I can never seem to catch it. Was it removed on the DVD release, or something?

I liked this dialogue from El Cazador de la Bruja episode 24

Nadie: What’s Maxwell’s demon?
Blue-Eyes: You don’t know?
Nadie: Yeah, no.
Blue-Eyes: It’s a theoretical model created in an attempt to halt the increase in entropy, breaking the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy refers to the movement of molecules, exciting surrounding molecules, causing them to begin moving as well. It assumes the existence of an entity, or demon, capable of preventing the natural movement of molecules, an exchange of energy which completely negates Newton’s second law. (Nadie’s spoon lowers). (pauses) Should I continue?
Nadie: Can you explain it more simply?
Blue-Eyes (lighter tone) There’s a scientific theory called Maxwell’s demon. And if it were a reality, WHOLE BUNCHES of power could be produced with no real limitations. Better?
Nadie: Don’t have to be a bitch.
Blue-Eyes: Shall I try one more time with smaller words?
Nadie growls.

When Blue-Eyes changes her tone, it's not cartoony but gives the attitude of an elementary school teacher or someone on a kids show. Couple with Nadie's usual "yeah, no" remarks that keep the dub current.

Personally, I hate it when a dub--or anything, for that matter--uses that kind of "hipster" tone.

One my of my favorite Dub Quotes is Ghost Stories: Episode 5 - The Bloody Sports Festival, When Hajime says "You can't cancel the Festival, One little retarded boy has his heart set on this thing. Not to mention the hours and hours his very handsome personal trainer has sacrificed for the little Dweeb. If you won't think of him then consider all the Halo playing and Monkey Spanking I've sacrificed"

Episode 1 of Death Note:

Light Yagami: At first I wrote the names of the worst criminals I could think of, Like I was cleaning up the world one name at the time, So that eventually no one will ever do anything evil again. (...) It will be a new world free of injustice and populated by people who I've judged to be honest, kind and hard working.

Ryuk: But if you did that it would make you the only bad person left.

Only remember that quote because it's so incredibly good, and probably one of the things that got me in to Anime to begin with.

Bear in mind I might be a little off, as these are coming off the top of my head.
"You fool! You think ideals can change the world? Fine! Then why don't you go ahead and shoot me, C'MON!" - Lelouch from Code Geass last episode of R1 (Johnny Yong Bosch)
"Nothing that happens now is any of your concern! Your very existence is a mistake; you need to be erased from the earth. I'LL TAKE CARE OF NUNNALY!" - Suzaku from Code Geass (also) last episode of R1 (Yuri Lowenthal)
I loved this episode just for that crazy dynamic between Lelouch and Suzaku. Do the ends justify the means? Do they not?
"Bang" - Spike Speigel from Cowboy Bebop last episode (Steve Blum)
Must I explain?
"My bro is gone; he's dead! But he's here on my back, and here in my heart. He lives on as a part of me!!..Just who the hell do you think I am? I'm Simon. I'm not my bro. I'm ME! SIMON THE DIGGER!" - Simon from Gurren Lagann episode 11 (Yuri Lowenthal)
Two words: character development. I actually shed a tear for him.
"Heave, anchor! This ship of fools is about to embark!" - Okabe from Steins Gate episode 24 (J Micheal Tatum)
As much as his character developed, and despite the shit he went through the entire time, he still hasn't lost that one aspect, that enthusiasm, that made him so likeable in the first place.
