Classic Amiga game references and quotations

Please give me your best and most iconic quotations and references from classic Amiga games. It would be best if it was only a single phrase or sentence, not an entire text block. It doesn't matter whether the quotation was presented in the game as readable text or as audio sample.

I hope that's fun for you. Thank you.

I'll focus on sampled speech

Chaos Engine: "node activated"
Mortal Kombat: "finish him!"
Roadkill: "Good luck, you'll need it!"
Alien Breed: "Warning, destruction imminent"

"But the dragon was really a robot, and his operator was seen escaping in an airship!!!" - Wonderboy in Monsterland.

I did a double take when I read that end of game blurb. A robot. In a game which for its entire runtime pits you in a medieval world of castles, swords and magic. Why not just a normal dragon :/

That spoof techno song using the Valhalla speech from the Amiga Power coverdisk still makes me smile now.

Mega Lo Mania has loads, from "THE MINE'S DESTROYED" to "do you want to be on my team?" So much character and genuine fun.

The Blood Money intro, both the spoken part and the musical part with sampled speech, is quite something. Did anyone honestly say it "sigh-gnow-sis" before hearing that?

Also the speech in Goldrunner, plentiful and clear for such an early game, especially given its ST origins, even if the game itself is no classic.

For on-screen text, some of the powerup-collection messages in Bob's Bad Day were endearingly quirky, from "You feel much more vicious" to "wacky right gravity".

Not from a game, this is from Megademo 2 by Budbrain.

So, I have always wondered who Danny Pommergaard is.
Someone involved in the danish demo scene at the time ?

to loosely translate that sentence.
"Danny Pommergaard is a Svend Fat Belly" or "Svend Gut Bucket".
