I love the Marvin quotes throughout the books. I'm just wondering what are some of your favorites?

Plus I need more to add to my sig randomizer. xP

I can't see your quotes...so here are some...I'm not sure if you have them already or not.

"What a depressingly stupid machine."

"It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level."

"Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God I'm so depressed."

"It commited suicide."

Its not good by itself, but was a great ending to the dialouge piece.

"Me with the brain the size of a planet and they send me to bring you to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? Cos I don't"

That was in the movie. I knew this would happen...but that movie WAS good.

Douglas Adams

Ford stayed, and went to examine the Blagulon ship. As he walked, he nearly tripped over an inert steel figure lying face down in the cold dust.
"Marvin!" he exclaimed. "What are you doing?"
"Don't feel you have to take any notice of me, please," came a muffled drone.
"But how are you, metalman?" said Ford.
"Very depressed."
"What's up?"
"I don't know," said Marvin, "I've never been there."
"Why," said Ford, squatting down beside him and shivering, "are you lying face down in the dust?"
"It's a very effective way of being wretched," said Marvin. "Don't pretend you want to talk to me, I know you hate me."
"No, I don't."
"Yes, you do, everybody does. It's part of the shape of the Universe. I only have to talk to somebody and they begin to hate me. Even robots hate me. If you just ignore me I expect I shall probably go away."
He jacked himself up to his feet and stood resolutely facing the opposite direction.
"That ship hated me," he said dejectedly, indicating the policecraft.
"That ship?" said Ford in sudden excitement. "What happened to it? Do you know?"
"It hated me because I talked to it."
"You talked to it?" exclaimed Ford. "What do you mean you talked to it?"
"Simple. I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself in to its external computer feed. I talked to the computer at great length and explained my view of the Universe to it," said Marvin.
"And what happened?" pressed Ford.
"It committed suicide," said Marvin, and stalked off back to the Heart of Gold.

That's my favorite Marvin quote. My favorite quotes of all time include those of the Sperm Whale and the Petunias. "Oh no, not again." But the above is my favorite of all time.

I don't remember if these are from the movie or the book(s) or both.

"I've seen it, it's rubbish."

"WOuld you like me to open another door for you?"

And my favorite of all time (not from Marvin):
"All they have to do is program it to say, 'What? I'm confused? Where's the tea?' and no one would know the difference."

"Life, don't talk to me about life!"

"Think you have problems? What do you do if you ARE a manically depressed robot? Don't answer that, I'm [insert large number that I forgot] times more intelligent than you and I don't know the answer."

"I'm in the car park."
"What're you doing in the car park?"
"I'm parking cars."

"That does absolutely nothing for me."

"I've been talking to the computer."
"And?"
"It hates me."

"Freeze? I'm a robot, not a refridgerator."

"Excuse me,' said the owner of the metal hand in a voice that would have made an insect of a more sentimental disposition collapse in tears."

"My capacity for happiness,' he added, 'you could fit into a matchbox without taking out the matches first."

"I want to hear your speech,' said the mattress.
'This is what I said. I said, 'I would like to say that it is a very great pleasure, honor and privilege for me to open this bridge, but I can't because my lying circuits are all out of commission. I hate and despise you all. I now declare this hapless cyberstructure open to the unthinking abuse of all who wantonly cross her.' And I plugged myself into the opening circuits."

"Maybe,' said Marvin with unexpected authority in his lugubrious voice, 'it would be better if you monitored them from here. That young girl,' he added unexpectedly, 'is one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting.'
Zaphod took a moment or two to find his way through this labyrinthine string of negatives and emerged at the other end with surprise."

" Would you like me to sit in a corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?"
