Favourite English Dub Line?
Now, we all know that FUNimation gives the characters some pretty horrible lines, but were there ever times when you thought "Wow, that line is actually better than what he says in the original," or "Woah, that line was so much more well delivered than in the Japanese version."?
I'm not talking about unintentionally funny lines like "Frieza"'s "These balls..." or lines that screw up the story ("Your father was a brilliant scientist!"). I'm talking about the kind of lines mentioned above, that were actually good, solid lines that were perhaps better than the Japanese version's dialogue.
So, what do you think?
BTW, I'm nabbing "YOU WON'T ESCAPE... MY WRAAAAAAATH!!!!!!!!"

Well, I haven't seen much of the anime (I mainly just saw GS-Man Saga and onward), but I'd have to say that Goku's little persuasion to make Vegeta fuse with him via potarra was pretty well said. The Japanese version mostly just had silence while the flashback clips of Buu eating everyone was shown.

Oh yeah, one GT dub line I especially liked was when Trunks was trying to get Baby out of him and he says "Get out of my bodyyyyyyyyyyy!"
It just seems kinda more relative than "I am Trunks!" Though I can see why some would prefer that one better.

You can call me Rick because I'm not actually Piccolo.
I missed out on all of the DB Movie fun, huh?[quote]Point blank: it's gonna suck if you want it to. Personally, I'm seeing it as a comedy.[/quote][/size]

Piccolo, after his fusion with Nail:
I...can...DO THIS!!!!
I CAN WIN
I FEEL GREAT!!!
YES! YES! YES!!!
I'M AWAKE!!! I'M WIDE AWAKE!!!!!
I'M COMING GOHAN!!!
Not to mention the fact that he looks like he's gonna poop himself. I've never laughed so hard in my life...
OH! And:
Gohan: "Uh oh...you-know-who joined the Super Saiyan Club."

(makes sense to me, I guess)
And of course, we can't forget Peter Kelamis' delivery of "KAIOKENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" when Goku's encased in ice in the Ocean Studios dub of movie #2.
