"It's all connected . . ."

"It only hurts until your dead."

"They fire a warning shot through your head . . ."

"And HOW would YOU know THAT!?!?!?" (Uttered immediately after the player
blurts out knowledge only available if he had read the adventure
previously)

"I said that? No I didn't. And if I did, it's different now anyway!"

"It's all downhill from here."

"No matter how good you guys plan your run, I WILL find a way to hose you!"

"Instant Karma IS gonna getcha."

And sooooooo many more. :-)
