Some of the best lines are those which aren't made up. Therefore these are from various conversations between me and some of my friends, so some may not make all that much sense. ^^

Taking all of these. Unfortunately for what will probably end up a pre-Nano short story, but still, these fit for the one character I've worked out:
C1: You got a name? C2: I've got hundreds.
C1: What if I kill you? C2: Trust me, won't help.
C1: You had better tell me where we are this instant. C2: Somewhere. C1: Thank you, Mr. Specific. Your attention to detail astounds me. C2: I was rather eloquent, wasn't I?
C1: I wouldn't like to run into one of those on a dark night! C2: That's not likely to happen. C1: Oh goo- C2: They hunt in packs.
Love it, that's very natural! I just poked in and saw that your story looks very interesting, too. With your plot and dialogue, I'm very intrigued and want to read it...so I hope you finish it this year!
C1: They're a landlocked country. We're on a man-o-war. Why are we even fighting them? C2: They offended king and country, sir!* C1: I don't mean us as a country. I mean those of us on this ship. C2: Orders are orders, sir. They don't really have to make sense. We just have to follow them. C1: But we're a Navy engaged in fighting a land war with a landlocked nation. Rather useless isn't it? We're not serving any purpose. Can we just go home now?
*Feel free to change this line if you're writing about a country without a king, of course.
C1: Be careful with that! It's a very toxic and corrosive chemical! C2: Your MOM is a very toxic and corrosive chemical. C1: Be that as it may...
And (I know someone already grabbed this but I'm taking it too):
C1: You had better tell me where we are this instant. C2: Somewhere. C1: Thank you, Mr. Specific. Your attention to detail astounds me. C2: I was rather eloquent, wasn't I?
Leaving a few that I either took part in or over heard at a LARP I play in:
C1: Oh god, [character], You're going to kill us all. C2: (extremely up beat) Twice!
C1: Gods, I hate you all. C2: How can you hate people so much...don't you heal people? C1: Yes, and I like to insult the corpses before I bring them back from the dead. 'Cause I'm a people person. C3: If you're a people person, then I'm the best fighter here. C2: We're all doomed...*facepalm*
A few that are (sadly, in some cases) from real life:
C1: Does SHE know it's a date? C2: (really excited) Yeah, that's the best part!
C1: Is it due tomorrow? C2: Yes. C1: FML. C2: I know, right?
C1: Zombies make everything better. Every one else: staaaaare. C1: Oh. Ah. Chocolate. Did I say zombies? I meant chocolate. CHOCOLATE makes everything better.
C1: If we are all God's children, but Jesus is God's only son, does that make everyone a girl? C2: God help us with our struggles of lesbianism. C1: That, and incest, as I guess we're all sisters now. C2: Yes, but the incest started on page one of the Bible. It wasn't until John 3:16 that everything really came out of the closet. C1: I bet the pillow fights are awesome, though. C3: I believe the correct wording is that Jesus is God's "only begotten son." This implies that the rest of us are, in fact, adopted.
C1: What's a zygote? C2: A zygote - C3: COMES IN A LITTLE GLASS VIAL!!! (optional: insert a jokey conversation about artificial impregnation here.)
C1: So where's your mom been? C2: She's visiting her dad in Phoenix. He has... has, uh... he's been diagnosed with... um, what's that disease where you can't remember anything? (Yes... C2 was me)
-silence- C1: And he smells like one too~ -more silence- C2: ...That was random.
(talking about knocking noises, as in a seance) C1: One for yes... two for no... C2: Three for maybe, and four for "We need to work out a better system!"
"C1: If we are all God's children, but Jesus is God's only son, does that make everyone a girl? C2: God help us with our struggles of lesbianism.

Can't use it though but it's brilliant! And the chocolate/Zombie one xD sounds like something I could do! :) Thanks!
C1: I feel like I'm comforatable now. C2: If you feel like you're comfortable, then you are. C3: That's like the definition of the word.
C1: You may have freedom of speech, but you can't just go into a crowded movie theatre and shout "fire." C2: If it makes you feel better, you can go into a crowded fire station and shout "theater!"
C2: (Says something to set up a that's-what-she-said joke) C1: That's what she said. C2: She wasn't talking to you.
C1: Remember when you had amnesia? C2: What? C1: Nevermind.

Thought I'd put down some real life experiences...Some I'm not too proud of
C1: "Well, you know what they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." C2: "Except STDs, drug/alcohol/gambling addictions, children, and of course a love of Phantom of the Opera." C1: "What?" C2: "If you've ever seen it at the Venetian, you'd love it too."
C1: "I have one rule. Don’t die. C2: "So, how big are the consequences for breaking that rule?"
C1: "You'll never guess what just happened!" C2: "You got into Stanford? 'Cause that's something nobody would guess. C1: "Number one, that hurt. Number two, I JUST FOUND 3 DOLLARS IN QUARTERS!" C2: "...And?" C1: "I'm now 3 dollars closer to being a millionaire?" (C1 was me by the way...)
C1: "How are you? C2: "Ever had a day where you want to set someone’s face on fire and put it out with a fork?" C1: "No." C2: "Oh, well that’s the day I’m having."
C1: "Wanna go out to lunch?" C2: "I'd rather eat gravel and wash it down with Bleach while watching paint dry." C1: "Is that a no?"
C1: "What if there's a zombie apocalypse?!" C2: "You'd be fine." C1: "How do you know?!?!" C2: "They're zombies, they eat brains." C1: "Oh, good. I thought I'd die there for a second."
C1: "I'm getting coffee, how do you like yours?" C2: "Black." C1: *laughs a little* "Black like your soul?" C2: *comepletely serious and glares a little.* "No. Black like my coffee. Now go get it."
C1: "Well, once you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up." C2: "There's always the lower pits of Hell." C1: "Let me guess, you're a pessimist." C2: "Of course not! That would never work..."
I might post some more later, but now I must return to my outline...it's currently mocking me and my characters and yelling at each other...
C1: "How are you? C2: "Ever had a day where you want to set someone’s face on fire and put it out with a fork?" C1: "No." C2: "Oh, well that’s the day I’m having."
C1: "I'm getting coffee, how do you like yours?" C2: "Black." C1: *laughs a little* "Black like your soul?" C2: *comepletely serious and glares a little.* "No. Black like my coffee. Now go get it."

Like theese taking them to see if my character wants them. and maybe the coffee one, too. I'll ask her.
C1: "I'm getting coffee, how do you like yours?" C2: "Black." C1: *laughs a little* "Black like your soul?" C2: *comepletely serious and glares a little.* "No. Black like my coffee. Now go get it."

C1: So you're saying he's dead? C2: Yes. C1: Really? C2: Uh-huh. C1: And you're totally sure he's absolutely dead? C2: I said he was dead, didn't I?

C2: *irritated* For the last time, he's dead! As a doornail! *pause* C1: You might want to check again, just to be safe. C2: *heavily sarcastic* ...Silly me. Turns out he's alive!

Here's another one from the coffeehouse that I can't use in a story but it's too funny not too share :)
C1:Can you like not be a dick for two secants?
C2: I've tried. It's not worth it.
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
I may have to use that one.
Leaving:
C1: You hate me!
C2: I don't hate you, you just disgust me!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
I think I might be able to use this. :D Thanks!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Adopting it but modifying it XD
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Taking all of these. Unfortunately for what will probably end up a pre-Nano short story, but still, these fit for the one character I've worked out:
C1: You got a name?
C2: I've got hundreds.
C1: What if I kill you?
C2: Trust me, won't help.
C1: You had better tell me where we are this instant.
C2: Somewhere.
C1: Thank you, Mr. Specific. Your attention to detail astounds me.
C2: I was rather eloquent, wasn't I?
C1: I wouldn't like to run into one of those on a dark night!
C2: That's not likely to happen.
C1: Oh goo-
C2: They hunt in packs.
C1: Thank you, Captain Obvious.
C2: You're welcome, Lieutenant Sarcasm.
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
C1: What are you doing?
C2: Br....eaking into this house.
C1: What?
C2: I tried to change it at the last second and just couldn't.
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
I think I could use this. Thanks :D
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Love it, that's very natural! I just poked in and saw that your story looks very interesting, too. With your plot and dialogue, I'm very intrigued and want to read it...so I hope you finish it this year!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Hilarious! I might take it and tweak it a bit.
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
C1: They're a landlocked country. We're on a man-o-war. Why are we even fighting them?
C2: They offended king and country, sir!*
C1: I don't mean us as a country. I mean those of us on this ship.
C2: Orders are orders, sir. They don't really have to make sense. We just have to follow them.
C1: But we're a Navy engaged in fighting a land war with a landlocked nation. Rather useless isn't it? We're not serving any purpose. Can we just go home now?
*Feel free to change this line if you're writing about a country without a king, of course.
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Adopting:
C1: Be careful with that! It's a very toxic and corrosive chemical!
C2: Your MOM is a very toxic and corrosive chemical.
C1: Be that as it may...
And (I know someone already grabbed this but I'm taking it too):
C1: You had better tell me where we are this instant.
C2: Somewhere.
C1: Thank you, Mr. Specific. Your attention to detail astounds me.
C2: I was rather eloquent, wasn't I?
Thank you!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Leaving a few that I either took part in or over heard at a LARP I play in:
C1: Oh god, [character], You're going to kill us all.
C2: (extremely up beat) Twice!
C1: Gods, I hate you all.
C2: How can you hate people so much...don't you heal people?
C1: Yes, and I like to insult the corpses before I bring them back from the dead. 'Cause I'm a people person.
C3: If you're a people person, then I'm the best fighter here.
C2: We're all doomed...*facepalm*
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Taking your first one! Will work pretty much anywhere in my novel :)
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Same!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
OMG! The second one is perfect for my book! Thank you!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
C1: Don't touch that!
C2: *jerks hand back* why?
C1: *grabs object* 'Cause it's mine.
C1: You got a problem, bro?
c1: Probably, but that's beside the point.
C1: You killed my friends.
C2: Yep.
C1: You killed my family.
C2: Yep.
C1: Now I'm going to kill you.
C2: I don't see why not, it's only fair.
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
I'm totally stealing your first one there.
Let's see, what do I have to leave....
Oh! These were all random things that I thought whilst sleep-deprived. Have at it.
Male: Man, you should’ve asked for a woman!
Female: What would I do with a woman?
Male: That’s not the point!
C1: So now you’re hogging all the glory?
C2: This isn’t about glory! This is about truth!
C1: Oh, so you’re hogging all the truth.
C1: Yeah, sure I got a Ph.D.… in kicking your ass!!
C1: This wasn’t pretty last time, what makes you think now will be any different?
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
A few that are (sadly, in some cases) from real life:
C1: Does SHE know it's a date?
C2: (really excited) Yeah, that's the best part!
C1: Is it due tomorrow?
C2: Yes.
C1: FML.
C2: I know, right?
C1: Zombies make everything better.
Every one else: staaaaare.
C1: Oh. Ah. Chocolate. Did I say zombies? I meant chocolate. CHOCOLATE makes everything better.
C1: If we are all God's children, but Jesus is God's only son, does that make everyone a girl?
C2: God help us with our struggles of lesbianism.
C1: That, and incest, as I guess we're all sisters now.
C2: Yes, but the incest started on page one of the Bible. It wasn't until John 3:16 that everything really came out of the closet.
C1: I bet the pillow fights are awesome, though.
C3: I believe the correct wording is that Jesus is God's "only begotten son." This implies that the rest of us are, in fact, adopted.
C1: What's a zygote?
C2: A zygote -
C3: COMES IN A LITTLE GLASS VIAL!!!
(optional: insert a jokey conversation about artificial impregnation here.)
C1: So where's your mom been?
C2: She's visiting her dad in Phoenix. He has... has, uh... he's been diagnosed with... um, what's that disease where you can't remember anything?
(Yes... C2 was me)
-silence-
C1: And he smells like one too~
-more silence-
C2: ...That was random.
(talking about knocking noises, as in a seance)
C1: One for yes... two for no...
C2: Three for maybe, and four for "We need to work out a better system!"

TOTALLY taking that!!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
The knocking noises one suits my MC perfectly. Consider it adopted!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue

I will be adopting that last one. Go seance!

Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Adopting the zygote one, though I'm altering it to this.
C1: What's a zygote?
C2: A zygote-
C3: Comes in a little glass vial!
C2: (serious; not seeing the joke) A little glass vial?
C3: A little glass vial!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Repo references :) You're officially amazing.
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
It's official...I'm just going through these to find people I think are hilarious...
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
A LITTLE GLASS VIAL! (Sorry, couldn't help myself... I love that movie!)
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
I absolutely LOVE this one:
C1: If we are all God's children, but Jesus is God's only son, does that make everyone a girl?
C2: God help us with our struggles of lesbianism.
C1: That, and incest, as I guess we're all sisters now.

Can't use it though but it's brilliant! And the chocolate/Zombie one xD sounds like something I could do! :)
Thanks!
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
C1: I feel like I'm comforatable now.
C2: If you feel like you're comfortable, then you are.
C3: That's like the definition of the word.
C1: You may have freedom of speech, but you can't just go into a crowded movie theatre and shout "fire."
C2: If it makes you feel better, you can go into a crowded fire station and shout "theater!"
C2: (Says something to set up a that's-what-she-said joke)
C1: That's what she said.
C2: She wasn't talking to you.
C1: Remember when you had amnesia?
C2: What?
C1: Nevermind.
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
C2: (Says something to set up a that's-what-she-said joke)

I'm adopting that one, too XD
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Adopting:
C2: It's a long story.
C1: We've got time.
C2: What time is it?
C1: Six thirty.
C2: No we don't.
C1: What if I kill you?
C2: Trust me, won't help.
C1: You had better tell me where we are this instant.
C2: Somewhere.
C1: Thank you, Mr. Specific. Your attention to detail astounds me.
C1: We had sex!
C2: What?!
C1: Good, now that I have your attention...
And a couple more...
Leaving:
C1: And we have a test tomorrow
C2: Really? What about?
C1: Math
C3: Nudity is liberating
C1 and C2: What?
C4: I know right?
Yeah, that one really happened.
C1: And I will just shove the Earth under my armpit.

Re: Adopt a Dialogue
Thought I'd put down some real life experiences...Some I'm not too proud of
C1: "Well, you know what they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."
C2: "Except STDs, drug/alcohol/gambling addictions, children, and of course a love of Phantom of the Opera."
C1: "What?"
C2: "If you've ever seen it at the Venetian, you'd love it too."
C1: "I have one rule. Don’t die.
C2: "So, how big are the consequences for breaking that rule?"
C1: "You'll never guess what just happened!"
C2: "You got into Stanford? 'Cause that's something nobody would guess.
C1: "Number one, that hurt. Number two, I JUST FOUND 3 DOLLARS IN QUARTERS!"
C2: "...And?"
C1: "I'm now 3 dollars closer to being a millionaire?" (C1 was me by the way...)
C1: "How are you?
C2: "Ever had a day where you want to set someone’s face on fire and put it out with a fork?"
C1: "No."
C2: "Oh, well that’s the day I’m having."
C1: "Wanna go out to lunch?"
C2: "I'd rather eat gravel and wash it down with Bleach while watching paint dry."
C1: "Is that a no?"
C1: "What if there's a zombie apocalypse?!"
C2: "You'd be fine."
C1: "How do you know?!?!"
C2: "They're zombies, they eat brains."
C1: "Oh, good. I thought I'd die there for a second."
C1: "I'm getting coffee, how do you like yours?"
C2: "Black."
C1: *laughs a little* "Black like your soul?"
C2: *comepletely serious and glares a little.* "No. Black like my coffee. Now go get it."
C1: "Well, once you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up."
C2: "There's always the lower pits of Hell."
C1: "Let me guess, you're a pessimist."
C2: "Of course not! That would never work..."
I might post some more later, but now I must return to my outline...it's currently mocking me and my characters and yelling at each other...
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
C1: "How are you?
C2: "Ever had a day where you want to set someone’s face on fire and put it out with a fork?"
C1: "No."

I must adopt this. It is hilarious.

I'm stealing:

Appropriating "That's the kind of day I'm having." Thanks muchly.
Re: Adopt a Dialogue
From various stories and such.
C1: “I want to talk to you, not the top of your head.”
C2:. “If I say the ground’s more interesting. . . . ?”
C1: *laughs*
C2: “Were you there all night? What were you thinking!”
C1: “I -- I needed some time to think.”
C2: “Oh, you were ‘thinking’ with [him] weren’t you.” *chuckle* “It’s alright, I think he’s quite handsome.”

And leaving this:
C1: So you're saying he's dead?
C2: Yes.
C1: Really?
C2: Uh-huh.
C1: And you're totally sure he's absolutely dead?
C2: I said he was dead, didn't I?
C1: 'Cause it would suck if he were actually alive. Inheritance and all that. We need him to be dead.
C2: Don't worry, he's dead.
C1: You're certain about it?
C2: Yes.
C1: Are you ABSOLUTELY sure?
C2: *irritated* For the last time, he's dead! As a doornail!
*pause*
C1: You might want to check again, just to be safe.
C2: *heavily sarcastic* ...Silly me. Turns out he's alive! Probably gonna live another hundred years, he's so healthy and...y'know, not-dead! Too bad for us!
C1: WHAT?! But that's gonna ruin EVERYTHING! We really, REALLY need him to be dead so I can get the inheritance!
C2: ...C1, he's DEAD.
*pause*
C1: But you just said he was -
C2: *angry* It's called SARCASM!
