Only the "bro". Other than that it seems a decent interpretation.
Yeah, this.

No. You're thinking of "brah." "Bro" is how people with a fratboy speech impediment say it.

Oh, and I agree it isn't really a great line.

I always thought the 'bro' part was because he was talking to a monkey.

...Maybe that's just the way my brain works.

I thought that too. Still doesn't seem like something he'd actually say though. Probably jusy Viz trying to sell the monkey-boy thing more than they needed.

The Trunks special has one of the lines that I really can forgive because their joke replacing dialogue was legitimately hilarious.

JPN Ver
No. 17 is just blowing stuff up while No. 18 sits and watches. No. 18 asks why he's killing and destroying things one by one, thus taking longer.

He responds by saying its more fun to drag it out, otherwise there will be no fun later.

Yeah, its a line that fits their devious, calculating ways, more so No. 17, and well done.

FUNi Ver
Again, No. 17 blowing stuff up and No. 18 watches. No. 18 asks if he can hurry up since she finds watching him boring.

No. 17 retorts "Boring? This isn't boring. BORING is watching you shop for clothes for 2 hours. THAT'S boring."

A little less mature, but hey, they're kids and Chuck's delivery is just so damn funny.

I think its safe to say I love that man.

Not as rare as you might think. *points at self* :D
"I am no warrior. I will never fight again."
That was a good line, but as far as I remember, where it was used it kinda felt "tacked-on". As far as I know, it's a new line for the Season Sets. Would've been much more powerful if he'd said it as part of his original speech though.
In a nutshell: Likes the sub and the dub and barely ever posts.

I quite liked Vegeta's mocking of the Jinzoningens (specifically #19), it was more clever in the dub.

Other than that, nah.

Final episode of GT. Right at the very end Goku says "Till we meet again, guys!" I could see Goku in Japanese say this too, so I really didn't mind.

I'll post more when I can think of some.

I actually really like that line too. It sounds really cool with "DAN DAN" playing in the background, too, if you have the new box sets and have that option.
"Gohan, l...listen..."
"What is it, Mr. Piccolo?"
"Why...didn't...you...DOOOOOODGE!!!???"
