Great Quotes (or better known as Love-in part deux)

So
starwolf_oakley gave me some inspiration for a fabulous topic when discussing what have been the some of the most memorable lines the Joker has uttered: "That's not funny!" vs. "His name was Jason, right?"

Throughout the comics medium there are some absolutely awesome lines uttered. What are some of the great ones you can remember and who said them? (I suppose also TV series and movies "based on" comic book characters counts as well coz well, I don't know if I'll ever stop hearing "Why so serious?" now thankyouverymuch).

For me, Batman takes the cake.
These three lines he said were fantastic. And he says them all to his archnemesis. They are all so good, I can't decide which one is the best. Actually, you know what? Batman calling the Joker "Puddin'" has got to be the best in my book. (At least to me, anyways).

1. From the Killing Joke: Joker is trying to prove his "one bad day" theory to Batman. Bats hits a little too close to home when he says: "Maybe it was just you, all the time."
2. From the recent Joker graphic novel: Joker asks Batman why he leaves a little window of his chiseled, handsome face for the world to see, when he is trying to appear to be a monster. Batman replies: "To mock you."
3. From Mad Love: Batman and Joker are fighting on top of a train. Batman tells Joker that he knew the Clown Prince couldn't let anyone else kill him (due to Joker's massive ego, etc) He then emasculates him by saying: "Though I have to admit she came a lot closer than you ever did.... Puddin'."

Also, I have to give honourable mention to Deadpool for a scene in which a German woman says "Nien!" and holds a gun to him. He replies: "Ten! Tee-hee. Phonetic joke. I am a cunning linguist, no?"
Any character who uses the term "cunning linguist" in a comic is reallyfrigginawesome in my book.
