Line 5:
* "The Weighted [[Companion Cube]] will [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|never threaten to stab you]] and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice." <ref> In one level GLaDOS gives the player a Weighted Storage Cube that had to be carried through the level. Playtesters would often leave the cube behind and get stumped, so Valve gave the cube a [[Palette Swap]] and had GLaDOS talk about the cube constantly. As a result many players became incredibly attached to the cube and some even gave it a [[Memetic Badass]] status. Also a [[Trope Namer]].</ref>
* "You will be baked{{spoiler|, and then there will be}} cake." <ref> GLaDOS, resident [[Ninja Butterfly]]/[[Mission Control]]/[[Big Bad]], is an immensely popular [[Fountain of Memes]] for her dark, dark comedy, with nearly ''every single one'' of her lines repeated or mutated in some form. Some other examples are listed below. Note that this example is what shows up in the subtitles, but you hear the full line.</ref>
** "Any contact with the chamber floor will result in an "unsatisfactory" mark on your official testing record, [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|followed by death]]. Good luck!"
** "Speedy thing goes in, speedy things comes out."
*** "Wheeeeeeeeeeeee..."
Line 11:
** "Someday we'll remember this [[Creepy Monotone|and laugh, and laugh, and laugh]]. ''O-oh-oh boy''."
** "You're not smart. You're not a scientist. You're not a doctor. You're not even a full-time employee."
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tax4e4hBBZc "I think we can put our differences behind us.] [[For Science!]]. [[You Monster!]]."
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APAcU3YBhYc "We're going to have fun... with Science!"]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A88YiZdXugA "Don't disappoint me...] or I'll make you '''wish''' [[Fate Worse Than Death|you could die]]..."
Line 24:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i-nMWgBUp0 "That's 65 percent more bullet per bullet."]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mt8I6cvFsM When life gives you lemons, burn down life's house.] '''''WITH THE LEMONS.''''' <ref> Cave's final pre-recorded message has him deliver an epic rant subverting the typical "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" idiom. It is widely believed he actually managed to do this.</ref>
*** I don't want lemons, I want pictures of Spider-Man! <ref> J.K. Simmons, the voice of Cave Johnson, also played J. Jonah Jameson in the ''[[Spider-Man]]'' films, resulting in a lot of [[Hey
** "The Solution? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZMSAzZ76EU ROBOTS!] Then... fire the guys who made those robots and build BETTER robots!"
*** "BAM! Robots gave us six extra seconds of co-operation. Good job, robots!"
** "Science isn't about "why?". [[For Science!|It's about "why not?"!]]"
** "Chariots chariots." <ref> From the over half hour of additional dialogue added with the Infinite Testing Initiative (read: user-designed test chambers). Cave first says that due to the multiversal nature of the program, he'll precede all of his messages with "chariots" so the tester knows it's Earth Prime Cave. When he realizes there's a universe where his counterpart for no discernible reason says "Chariots" before his sentences, he adds another one on for good measure.</ref>
* "How are you holding up? ''Because I'm a potato.''" <ref> About halfway through ''Portal 2'' GLaDOS gets attached to a potato, and says this. [[Fan Nickname|Also known as "PotatOS"]], taken from the developer commentary.</ref>
