So, this is something I've been thinking about for a while. I got the idea from "Post a Lyric From the Song You're Listening To". Basically, just post a quote from anything you like - books, TV, movies...anything. It doesn't even have to be fiction.
I'll start.
"When death captures me," the boy vowed, "he will feel my fist in his face."

She smiled weakly. "There was a button. You know how I feel about buttons."

"When inspiration came, it was in the form of a picture, a mental image of two small wavy forms and one big one. That was all--a bright, sharp image etched in his mind, no more, perhaps, than the visible top of a vast iceberg of mental processing that had taken place below the waterline of consciousness."

Ah, tick-tick-tock...is that the sound of a Geiger counter or my lifespan counting down? It's both! That's right, here at Black Mesa when we talk about Half Life, we mean it in more ways than one. So make your peace and come to Black Mesa! Here you'll win a chance to fight freaks of nature; escape countless safety hazards; wander aimlessly for hours; and die scared, tired and alone!

"You wrote a concession?"
"Of course I wrote a concession! What, you wanna tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing?"
"...No."
"Then go outside, turn around three times, and spit! What the [heck]'s the matter with you?"
"It's, like, 25 degrees outside..."
"Go!"
"Of course he wrote a concession speech, why wouldn't he? What possible reason would he have to not write a concession speech?"
"...The wrath from high atop the thing."
"He upped and said we were gonna..."
*pause*
"No! You gotta go outside, turn around three times, and curse!"
"Spit."
"Spit and curse!"
"Do everything. Go."
"Go! Go!"
