personal favorites

Cullen: I had a really great interview at a place called the "Inquisition," so you might be getting a call as a reference. Varric: You tried to arrest my best friend last month. Cullen: It would be great if you didn't mention that.

Hawke: What's your favorite hobby? Fenris: Wine. Hawke: Wine. Hawke: Okay, what, like making wine, drinking wine? Judging wine? Fenris: Just wine.

Viddasala: I have got to admit, you are really frustrating, Inquisitor. What is it going to take to make you scream? Inquisitor: What, you mean to say Bull never told you? And here I thought you two were close.

Meredith: Champion, do you think I got to be the Knight-Commander of Kirkwall by being late? Hawke: No, you got there by back-stabbing and ass-kissing. Meredith: Maybe so, but I started those things promptly at 8. Hawke:

Inquisitor: So red lyrium is alive? What do we do with that information? Varric: What do you do with any information? You just stuff it deep down inside and keep an eye on it.

(after recruiting Fenris) Fenris: Where's your place? Hawke: You don't have to take me home. Fenris: I wanted to go the opposite way.

[at the Warden's funeral] Leliana: I don’t want anybody else. Nobody rocks my body or my world like Sal. Zevran: I’d like more people at funerals to give speeches about how they were going to miss the sex.

Hawke: Mother! You've gotta help! They're cooking mages in the streets of Kirkwall. Leandra: Listen, kids. You're eighteen and twenty years old now. I can't be fighting all your battles for you. Bethany: But Mother— Leandra: No "but"s. You march right back out there, look them in the eye, and say "Don't eat me!"

Duncan: I want to set you up with our newest female recruit. Alistair: I'm already dating her. Duncan: I thought you were gay. Alistair: Then why would you want to set me up with her?

Nightmare: You have no real family. You're on the wrong side of 40. You're childless and alone. Somebody close to you said "One more flop and it's over." Hawke: Hawke: Somebody said they were close to me?

Solas: If I die in an unforeseen construction accident, will you do one thing for me? Lavellan: Oh, anything, sweetheart. Solas: Blow up the Veil. Lavellan: Hm. Well... I said I'd do it, so I guess I'll have to.

Inquisitor: I want to get started. Hawke looks very excited. Varric: She did say before, "I want to blow the Inquisitor's tiny mind." Inquisitor:

Aveline: Maker, I can't wait to be old. Merrill: If it's any consolation, you look older than you are!
