Best cover, best line

The Enigmatic Dr X · 23 July, 2003, 02:59:57 PM

So we've had the best cover competition, but what about the poor writers out there? What do you think the best every line or piece of dialouge in 2K was?

If you take even thirty seconds you'll realise that there are so many to choose from - lines or phrases that have stuck in my mind, anyway, for years. And that's despite sometimes only reading them once!

Zenith Phase I has a few classics in particular - how about:

"You didn't drop him, did you?" (when Zentih drops the Welsh bloke)

or

"We still have to deal with... THAT!" (upon seing the big baddie in all its glorious colour-back-page-ness).

But enough of that, what do you think the best line is? It could be a catch phrase (Crime is life, sentence is death) or just an apt expression (S'right).

If you're half way interested, post a line. If there's enough of a response I'll try and organise a Logan style head to head (hey, I can steal anyone's thunder) or other vote. If not, then... Kiss my axe!

I'll get in first with
"Gaze into the fist of Dredd!"
He didn't think it too many.
"Let the dead fluidsss floww!"

"Control,get down to the alien zoo,and bring the biggest dose of salts you can find!"
And-The AFA,dedicated to eradicating corpulence in all its forms(from the same story IIRC)

"next time we get in our retaliation first" is the one that always sticks in my mind, says everything about the futility of war in a glib remark.

Oddboy · 23 July, 2003, 04:43:09 PM

Y'see - a lot of these just seem like 2000AD clich?s now... 'gaze into the fist...' yeah whatever.
At the time, great! But I think we need something that's both punchy and not overdone.

I've always loved "MIND THE ORANGES MARLON!"

Where do I stand?
I'll tell you where I stand.
I stand four-square for Justice. I stand for discipline, good order and the rigid application of the law - and Grud help any limp wrist liberals who say different.
