This is the thread for dialogue that you've overheard that sounds like it belongs in a novel, but for which you're certain you have abosolutely no use for in your current NaNoNovel. Leave a line, take a line! Or more!
If you're leaving dialogue that you've overheard somewhere, consider *not* explaining the context, just to make things more interesting!
And my first contribution, for which I will give the context just because otherwise it sounds so very wrong:
"Would you like me to cut your eye out for you, honey?"
Thank God context was a pumpkin-carving event. o.O

"No, dude. I wouldn't want to touch you innappropriately or something."
These two guys were on a bus that was pretty much empty. They were squished together on a seat and just bickered. According to my sister, who was sitting across from them, it took them forever to realise that there actually WERE other seats available. XP

From an e-mail I sent today to a friend:
"I dunno about Thanksgiving in Canada. I think they were just jealous and copied us. I think it's funny that their Thanksgiving is the same time as our Columbus Day, otherwise known as "Rape, murder and pillage the indigenous population" Day. Pretty ironic if you ask me."

One I caught myself saying last Halloween (after someone else picked an unfortunate song for my entry in a karaoke contest):
"My throat's still sore from having done Justin Timberlake last night."
I had said variations on this phrasing to three or four different people before a gay friend cracked up laughing, and it's become one of my more horrifying stories ever since.
