You're planning a page in a manga or a comic. It's a tense, page-turning scene. You're character stands up on a platform/stage/rock/castle/giant plastic boob and the lights shine as a spotlight.

This is it. The big one. The speech that should cement in your reader's mind that your character is Bad-Ass with a capital B (and A).

You slowly think of something for him to say.... and you come up with something crap. Utter crap. A monologue that has pretty much ruined the entire scene and the dignity of the character.

Monologues and One-liners are essential for a kick-ass, awesome manga. But when they fail, they fail.

Here is the thread to introduce your One-liners/Monologues and have them completely fail-free with clever advice from fellow MTers. Or, maybe you need advice on one or can't think of one. Or, perhaps you just want to dump one here. This thread is here for all of those purposes.

Get your sunglasses and Schwarzenegger-style speech on and enter today!

hahahaha. You make the best threads. Here's one:

"Yeah?"

"It's not the end of the world."

[Insert explosions/earthquake/random awesome stuff here]

"It makes me want to punch the moon!"

^Fail.

It took me three hours to come up with that, lol.

"Prepare to be sweetened!"

and then a tribe of strawberries destroy everything.

Guy 1 is about to go out and do something dangerous...

Guy 1: "If I were you, I would totally do it."
Guy 2: "Why wouldn't you do it?"
Guy 1: "Because I'm smart."
Guy 2:"Wait, are you calling me stupid!?"
Guy 1:"Well, wouldn't you like to know?"

"Time for your daily lead injection, ass-hat!"
*insert extremely gory gunshot here*

Bad guy to his brother on a operating table:

"Mother always liked you best and I really didn't know why, now I guess it's time to slice you open and see if that gives me an answer."

diffrent situation, guy standing in front of a big window, overlooking a city, talking to a hero behind him:

"I'm lonely all the time, so my thoughts are that you can't be lonely if all the people in the world are gone."

"But you can't just do that! Billions will die!"

"But it won't make a diffrence, well to me anyways."

Cool guy: When we find him I want to give him these flowers

Other guy: Are these flowers for peace sir?
