Default Most memorable line from the MI series

What is your favorite/most memorable line from any of the Monkey Island games, individually or collectively?
(they don't have to be the same line)

The three obvious ones:

"Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!"
"You fight like a dairy farmer! (How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"
"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

My most memorable line is the immortal: "How appropriate. You fight like a cow." Whether used with "You fight like a dairy farmer" at any time or when training at Smirk's in SMI...
-"Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish-kabob! You respond with?"
-"How appropriate. You fight like a cow."
-"No! No! No! That was the response from the last insult. Doesn't even make sense when used here!" <sigh>

my favorite line is from Murray (of course!):

-"May I call you Bob?
-"You may call me Murray! I am a powerful demonic force! I am the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of darkness will applaud me, as I stride through the gates of Hell carrying your head on a pike!"
-"STRIDE?"
-"Alright then ROLL! ROLL through the gates of Hell... Must you take the fun out of everything?"

I rofl every time I remember that one.

My favorite from Tales:

LeChuck was boasting about how his spirit form cannont be harmed, then two seconds later..."Argh! Me spirit form!"

"I trust you as far as I can throw Manhattan."

"Dmnkly!"

"I wanted someone dangerous. I wanted...a pirate! By the way, what do you do for a living?"
"Flooring inspector."
"Oh."

"Great sainted jumping monkeys!"

"Hang on, the quicksand is sucking all the cool stuff I found in that snake from my pants. Now THERE's an odd sensation..."

I tried to think of the one line that pops into my head when I think of TMI and the first thing that hits me every time is: "Braawwk! It's me, Guybrush Threepwood! Mighty Pirate!"

All of the above
The "Monkey in my Pocket" song
The "Silver's Long Johns" jingle.
(I still sing them at inappropriate moments)

Papapishu!
Look behind you, a Three Headed Monkey!
How appropriate, you fight like a cow.
Wherever you go on sea or on land. You can't ever hide from Largo LeGrande!
Brawwwk! It's me! Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate!
We're pirates, Guybrush, not boy scouts.
Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just glad to see us?
Welcome to Stans!
The map, sir! I like it when you point at the map!
Ah, it's good to be dead. Ye are glad to be dead, RIIIIGHT!?
Unholy THIS!
Beware my clicking mandibles of DOOM!
Use...artifact...with...yourself.
Dmnkly!
Stay back, Susy Slicer!
SCIENCE!! I have science here!
A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea!

"Steel your courage, boy! Now! Before you gaze upon the terrible, horrible face of...SKULL ISLAND!"
"That's a duck!"
"What are you talking about, don't you see the skull?"
"This island doesn't look like a skull at all! It looks like a great, big, enormous duck! It should be called Duck Island!"
"Well, ya see...ya gotta squint and sorta turn your head and... Ooooooooh! It's just SO scary!"
"If you squint and turn your head it looks like a bunny."

The best part is that any one of those lines all by itself brings back memories of the entire conversation.

Well, I'd rather be a pirate on Scabb... than a scab on a pirate.

(One of many many memorable lines, all of the above included.)

Well, the only game I've played in English is Tales.
And I couldn't name just one sentence. So I'll name my favourite line by Guybrush in Trial and Execution: "I don't plan on dying today".

I'd have to make a list per character per episode and it would take days, so I'll add pretty much all of Stan's lines are my favourite, but I do have a soft spot for "Your Honor, I object, the defense is grasping at sponge-shaped straws here!"

When exactly does Guybrush say that? Somewhen in court?

No, he tells Stan that when he first sees him at his stand. You ask Stan why he isn't prepping for the case (not sure if it's a compulsory line) and he says the day he can't beat you with a widly flapping arm tied behind his back, etc, etc, and Guybrush says "Well, I don't plan on dying today", and Stan answers "And I didn't plan to wear the same jacket for 20 years, but here we are".

It really doesn't stand out that much until he DOES die later that day.

EDIT: actually, I think I might be mixing two different things, because if I remember correctly, after he says he can beat you, he says "know what I mean?" you say "not really" and he says "Exactly". Or something. So it might be a different dialogue option, but it's with Stan at his Trial of the Century-y-y-y merchandise emporium thingie.

RE-EDIT: okay, found a video. It's when you're asking him how sales are going. Around 9 minutes into this video
