From the first Odin mission (engine of destruction?): "Time to kick ass and chew some bubble gum" "Nothing like kicking back and drinking a cold one over your enemy's dead corpses"
Tychus is lulz XD
Another good one is in the belly of the beast (its more of a convo): Raynor - If I didn't know better Swann I'd think you were scared Swann - (some dodgy answer about being good with tools) Stetmann - Oh, I'm scared <-- YOU'RE THE FUCKING MEDIC WITH SELF HEALING POWERS STFU NOOB ()
"On a distant, shadowed world, the Protoss will make their final stand. Their heroes will gather, their forces will be marshaled, and they will die bravely. But still, they will die. And my zerg.. will be slaves.. to the hybrid. All will bow before the power of the fallen one." - Overmind
My brethren, hear me, for there is little time left. All that remains of our race, our civilization, are those that stand beside you now. Trust in each other. Strike as one will. Let our last stand burn a memory so bright we will be remembered forever.
The voice actor there fit the awesome epic-ness of that mission perfectly. Reminds me of Aldaris at the end of the last BW mission briefing, with "Executor. Tassadar. This comes too late to you. But the Conclave has witnessed your defeat of the Cerebrate. They know now that they cannot deny the necessity or the valiancy of your actions. We sought to punish you, while it was we who were in error. You represent what is greatest in us all, and all our hopes go with you. EN TARO ADUN, brave Sons of Aiur!" Every so often in my head, I still hear Aldaris say that last sentence...

I really like artanis' VA. He gives him the feel of a great leader, yet you can still hear his youthfulness.
I really disliked the newscasts, mainly because they should have shown a completely biased news source, not the "one objective journalist and one sycophant" that they showed.
I did like Gabriel Tosh. Pretty much everything he said was awesome. This dialog always makes me chuckle though:
Swan - "You should check these guys out. Marauders. They're the latest in big bada-boom hardware." Raynor - "I don't think this is a good time to be experimentin' Swan." Swan - "Relax hotshot just try these guys out against those stalkers, you'll see."
Swann: heh, looks like your girl came through Raynor: She's not my girl! Swann: What? Scary assassin lady whose just as likely to come after you next? Sounds like your kind of girl
and of course the VA for Mengsk is just fantastic
"Make no mistake! War is coming. With all it's glory... and all it's horror... "
"MARINES! We are leaving!" The mission where u had to stop kerrigan getting those buildings or w/e. Btw. I think its a reference from a Call of Duty 4 Cargo mission where the cargo ship got destroyed.

What? I don't think that's a reference to any CoD, it's just a normal sentence. I guess a real marine hears it like every day.
OT: One of my favourite quotes is one that actually isn't in the game anymore. + Show Spoiler +
In an earlier version after Jimmy killed Dr. Hanson he turned around and said to himself "What is it with all the women in my life."
My favorite is Selendis' "The only cure to zerg infestation is purification by fire. You know this to be true, James Raynor!" I never believed Hanson would find a cure to infestation, if only because no one ever has since the zerg first appeared, so reading this was like "Okay, finding a cure would be nice, but you know, miracles don't happen."
errr.... Definitely Any protoss quote ever, the protoss tend to make the best quotes, like as each of the great leaders are defeated in the final zeratul mission.

MEGA NO.
Ive realized that you have to buy into Starcraft's corny/campy side in order to fully enjoy it. Like when you first heard "ZUUUUURG!!!!! The very mention of this terrifing race once brought fear...."
My favorite quote by far is "in the rear with the gear" and when that doctor lady is constantly telling me I've struck a blow. Thanks for your strategic analysis, lady who lives in a lab and has no military training whatsoever.
'That thing may kill the Queen of Blades, but it's our sweat and blood that'll make it happen, after everything we've been through, past all the fire and fury... The one thing I know is that we can count on eachother to get the job done, or die tryin' if that's what it takes... Because some things, are just worth fightin'' for.'

This Along with Stetman during Belly of the Beast: "She's dead Jim" (referring to the giant queen) Also, the entire Raynor speech during the "Fire and Fury" Cutscene
And the "All Time Best": 'Do you hear them, Zeratul? Whispering from the stars...' - Kerrigan It's like: "You know... I don't really care... about anything. I just asked, because I thought it would be nice"
There are tonnes of amazing epic protoss quotes around, but I still think that nothing comes close to the one quote that sticks out in my mind for all SC campaigns:
"You see, at this point, I'm pretty much the queen bitch of the universe" from the mission briefing for Omega (final BW mission)

huh? How can you compare those two. There was never anything wrong with the bw quote, but the sc2 quote is terrible.
Donny Vermillion - "I had a brother on Tarsonis..."
Seriously, I think that was the best character moment in the whole campaign; the unabashed Arcturus Mengsk propaganda mouthpiece beside himself at what his ruler did to his family for political gain. None of the Jimmy/Kerrigan/Tychus stuff even came close.
I know it isn't from the campaign, but my favourite line overall is the Medevac's 'WE'RE HIT, WE'RE HIT, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE-haha, just kidding, shoulda seen the looks on your faces!'.
Also 'dayum, premature detonation!' and 'Siege tank, why can't I quit you?'
Tygus: "You cant fix stupid" Horner: "you never meet any normal girls" Medic: "on second thought, just call me" :D and the follow up ofc :D Medic: "here is some lotion...." you get the idea :D

Dude that line is from Aliens 2. Or it was very similar. Havent seen it in awhile.
The UNN News broadcast after Outlaws, when Arcturus talks about the artifacts. "Anyone found in the possession of these items will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the LAAAW". James Harper has a great low, grueling voice in general but the way he says LAAAW in that sentence is just awesome.
And of course Tychus' "I swear man, I didn't know nothin' 'bout no Zerg!" Triple negative!

I like the Garbriel tosh monologue. It wasnt as cheesy as the rest of the monologues in the campaign.

"It ain't over 'till it's over you son of a bitch!"
Probably my favorite quote from the campaign. Also the entire cutscene called "Nova" was just hilarious. And the Dustin Browder reference that Warfield makes made me lol for a few minutes.

^that was pretty good i thought, more so the moment than the dialogue of course.

another vote for this. pretty disappointing when the best line comes from a comedic relief character
My favourite : Belly of the beast, when you first encounters banelings. I have the french version but nonetheless: "Wow c'était pas loin. Ce serait mieux de pas les laisser exploser près de nous la prochaine fois !" from the medic, then Tychus answers : "Merci du tuyau gamin. Maintenant ferme ta gueule." with a totally badass voice.
Translates to : "Wow, that was close. It would be better not to let them explode near us next time !" "Thanks for the tip kid. Now shut the fuck up."
Also all quote from the mission where you have to protect the Odin. "Botter des culs et mâcher du chewing-gum." from Duke Nukem "Ca c'était de la vidange de compétition." which translate to "That was one hella good drain" but I don't know if you would say this in english after peeing...

It is in the Cargo Ship mission, but CoD didn't invent the line. Pretty sure it was in a movie way before CoD4, I'm not sure what movie, either one of the Aliens movies or Starship Troopers.
Tychus: "Damn straight, bettin our asses on some alien piece of crap dont sit right with me"
Raynor: "I hear ya Tychus, but if I was banking everything on that, I'd be quit already. Cause here we are in the mouth of hell, and we made it this far by leaning on eachother."
Warfield: "Whether its blind luck, or damn fool courage, I've never seen anything like what you two jokers have pulled off"
Raynor: "That thing may be the key to stopping the queen of blades. But its out sweat and blood that will make it happen. After everything we've been through, as to all the fire and fury, the one thing I know is that we can count on eachother to get the job done, or die trying, if thats what it takes. *looks down at the dogtag* Because somethings are just worth fighting for."
I liked most of Tychus' dialogue and the comic relief he put in made the game for me. For instance - "Sir, may i ask what the convict is still doing on my bridge?" *Tychus adjusts self* "Damn these eggheads thought of everything in here" *flush*
I also got a laugh out of the Diamondbacks "Uh huh... uh huh... uh huh... what?"
My brethren, hear me, for there is little time left. All that remains of our race, our civilization, are those that stand beside you now. Trust in each other. Strike as one will. Let our last stand burn a memory so bright we will be remembered forever.
Why am I only the third person to credit Artanis for this?
All of the Protoss in Wings of Liberty were great. Especially Artanis and Selendis. Even the cliched lines were good simply because the voice actors were consistently great. Like the way that Selendis dies saying "Forgive me great Tassadar... I was not... strong... enough" with her strength fading with each spoken word... just about brought a tear to my eye.
After the Odin mission when you talk to Tychus at the bar Raynor asks him how did he like driving the Odin and Tychus says something like:
"Man that thing is the single most beautiful thing in all creation, sittin' in that thing and dispensing righteous fury just about brought a tear to my eye"
wow i totally forgot about this one but just played it again and lmFao! horner: be careful in there raynor: hey careful is my middle name *chuckles* horner: i thought it was eugene? *smirks* raynor: shut it matt *unhappy*
