Everyone knows that the translators for Recettear did an AMAZING job making the dialogue extremely witty and hilarious.  What are some of your favorite quotes from the game?

Just a couple good ones:

"My inner mind has become a reality-cracking overgod.  He torments me!  Help!"--a quest posting in the Pub

"Believe me, she is the only round, strange object currently present!"--Tear, about Recette being an oddball

"A cute girl like me could get in all kinds of peril!"--Recette
"I do not recall saying anything about you being cute."--Tear

And slightly later on...

"A HOODLUM'S GONNA STEAL MY CUUUUUTENEEEEESS!"--Recette

That's not even to count Recette's random words like "Pie-kay!" and "Yayifications!"  Plus, possibly my favorite one-liner so far: "...barrels..."

What kind of amazing quotes have you all found so far?

Ever since I found it, I thought the "big sister" scene in the town square was nice. Even if it did feature that horridly evil little girl.  ;)

"So, because I'm bigger, I'm the big sister, right?"

Recette's million-and-one variations on "okay". The translators sure had fun with this. :3

I swear I remember Recette saying "What is this I don't even..." at some point.

As for her variations on okay, "Yepperoni" is my favorite.

You remember right. Though IIRC, they put a comma in the middle for grammar's sake.

"The Guild discovered a new dungeon!  Only there's something up with this one."

"Something up?  Like Stairs?"

Oh, Recette.

I really like this, as might have been obvious:
“There is no need to treat me like a flying ball of greed…” — Tear

"Believe me, she is the only round, strange object currently present!"--Tear, about Recette being an oddball
What's it with Tear and ballness? :)
“There is no need to treat me like a flying ball of greed…” — Tear

Personally, I can't help but think the "...barrels..." quote is more of a reference to Ashton Anchors from Star Ocean: Second Story, rather then the Atelier/Mana Khemia series.

Also, I think one of my favorite moments is Recette's lesson on the history of money: "And then the Hero said, "This is the end of my story"." or something to that general effect. I mean, how did she even GET to the point?

"Stained-Glass Yayness!!!"

Then there is the entire encounter with Griff before the level 50 battle... Epic.

The feared purple-haired wonder dropped by as usual, and she said something along the lines of "If you just divide it up and think of it as cups of coffee..." or something.  I laughed so hard.
