Your favorite NPC convos and quotes

[Saint Troy]

There's a rather cool one at the asura gate in The Grove. Can't remember the exact wording of it, but the asura gate guard/operator is chastising his sylvari assistant for "weirding out" his golem by asking it about its parents. Makes me laugh every time, and it illustrates the cultural differences between the two races very well. Pop through the gate from LA to The Grove and stand there for a little while to catch the conversation.

Thread winner folks! You heard it here first.

The one that I can think of (not really my favorite, but it's burned into my brain...I can't think of my favorite at the moment), is from when you are standing at the LA bank. There is a little girl and a charr playing. Most of their conversation is escaping me at the moment, but I ALWAYS catch the "Ah, GHOSTS!" "MOOOOOONSTERS" part.

If I recall correctly, they actually say things like how their parents would "kill" them if they found out they were playing together and that the parents are so dumb because of that. Then they proceed to "friends forever" kind of thing.

That's my favorite. Transcribed:

Sylvari: Your golem is strange. Was strange, rather.
Asura: You drove it away, you know that? I've never seen a golem run that fast.
S: I just wanted to ask it a few questions.
A: Yeah, I know. You guys are full of them.
S: Oh, yes. What's it like to be a golem? Does it dream? Does it have a family?
A: That was the last straw, you know. After that question about turtles in the desert, you asked it about its mother.
S: So?
A: It doesn't have a mother. It's a golem. You crossed its circuits. I don't know how you did it, but you weirded out my golem!
S: So, you are the mother? Or the father?
A: What? Well, I -- I guess I... Oh no. You're not getting in my head. You just stand there and help me monitor the gate.
A: Am I the mother? Blazing braces, this is what I get for working with the tree children.

My single favorite part of this is that the turtle in the desert is a reference to the interrogation of Leon at the beginning of Blade Runner.

Asura Agent: Do be careful with that! And whatever you do don't press the red button.
Agent: Why do you keep putting those on my equipment? You never ever let me use 'em.
Asura Agent: Don't be ridiculous, agent. Every gadget needs a red button.

Agent: I don't need your fancy gadgets. I have a sword and a smile. That's all I need to be a secret agent.
Asura Agent: A sword? Let me guess. All it does is cut and stab? I can fix that.
