I have some similar one's that have come up over the years...

"Shard just shot Ya Kiddik full of Narcoject."
"He WHAT?!?!? What's the price on his head?"
"40,000 nuyen."
"Let's invite him over and collect it."

or...

"You know, it's a shame that Widowmaker called out a hit on the
Chrome Fang's leader. Now I'll have to get all hyped on combat drugs and
go over to his house and waste him. And I actually kinda liked the guy."

or...

"What are you so pissed about?"
"Quarn sent two ripples of rockets into the building to cover our
escape."
"What's wrong with that?"
"He neglected to wait until we were out of it. I think I'm gonna
cram a crayon into his rigger jack and superglue a bottle cap over it.
And that's nothing compared to what Tempest is gonna do to him if she
ever gets outta the hospital."
"What color crayon?"
"Burnt Umber."
"Ouch."

or maybe...

"You know, Longtooth has a (Rating 6) Power Focus. Do you know
what that thing is worth?"
"Do you know somebody who can fence it?"
"Yep."
"Fifty-fifty split?"
"Yep."
<blam> <blam> <blam>

or how about...

"Whaddya mean Badger is an Overseers' plant?"
"Yeah. I found out from a trustworthy associate this morning.
Let's grease the pig and hand his head over to Blake as a peace offering."
"Okay."


Aaaahhhh, the chaos, paranoia, mistrust and discord. It really makes
being a GM worthwhile. :)
