I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hadn't yet, and if it is repeated elsewhere in this thread, sorry for the repeat.
The best conversation I have heard so far was one of two.
From TDPG, I overheard a story about a thief who got caught because his mark woke up, and he swept everything into his loot bag and fled, only to find out that he also swept up the lady's cat into his loot bag. I'm sure most of the older players know which conversation I am referring to.
From TDS, I really loved this because the conversations are sometimes randomly generated responses to circumstances. I was robbing the Inn at stonemarket plaza for the umpteenth time, and I got bored with playing mind games with the guards. So I went outside, and got one of the statues (I was on the last day) to chase me into the inn, and then I hid behind the bar, and taunted it. It stomped around, knocking over chairs, and barrels, and I got the "Did, I just see...?" "Hell's bells!", etc from the guards upstairs. And when they came downstairs to check, and saw it they said:"What the... I QUIT!" and "Don't look back, just keep running!" as they both ran for the door with it right on their heels. I was ROFLMAO.
And, yeah Benny is hilarious, in whichever game.

Let's see. . .in Deadly Shadows when the guard that starts searching for you happens to be Benny. .
Benny:(In a very dim-witted tone) Izzzzz...sssomone BEEEing CLEVURRRRR?! :cheeky:
(After escaping from a guard) Guard: DAMMIT! Where'd he go?? What am I supposed to say to say to the warden?? "Uhh er.. . Sir. .uh, I intercepted a criminal who, erm. . despite my best efforts. . .managed to. . . escape?". .Aw, CRAP!!
Guard: Nobody dares try anything when I'M patrolling the beat! That's 'cause I'm not afraid to bend the rules a little. . .
Guard: I'm bloody dangerous, I am!
Hammerite guard: Builder aid me 'gainst this SPAAAAWWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!
The Metal Age. . . .
woman: Don't you want a woman to keep you warm? :sly:
Benny: What for? This uniform is plenty warm enough, and it's not even cold out.
Karras recording: *tap tap*. . .Tis this functioning?. . .*microphone feedback*. .Oh. . .
And of course, the arguing guards in the Life of the Party mission XD
T2X. ..
Smuggler: (talking about the phonorecorder) People appreciate my music! It speaks to a whole new generation: "Girl you know I'm bluuuuue! OOoOohhh OOohhhh OOooOHhhhhhh, I love yoooOOOoOoOuuuuu!"
Smuggler: So what if it's pink?. . .doesn't mean anything. . .
. . .not a conversation, but letter in the hammerite church from a restaurant owner complaining about the riffraff in Sunnyport. One of the smugglers had been hanging around the tavern. . . ."And when I told him to go away, he merely sneered at me and then suggested that I perform certain activities with myself that I assure you are not anatomically possible!"
And from Thief 1. . .god, too many to name!. . .but my definite favorite:'
Benny: Hey! I'm goin' to the bear pits tomorrow! Ya wanna come with?

I thought the sides of sarcophagi in T1 were humorous; they had a carved engraving of an hourglass with wings.

What's that smell? Smells like ... old meat. Couldn't be me. I bathed three days ago.
Huh? :)

Must have been a pirate then.

Favourite guard quote from Thief 3:
(*sleeping guard*)
"Urm...lemoncake with...icing." *snores*
Funnily enough my brother had a lemoncake for his birthday. Guess what we were quoting all day...

Yes, the pictoral equivalent of the latin truism:
tempus fugit. Like the paintings, many of the decorative textures in Thief come from real sources. The busts that form the talisman locks in TDP's
Return To The Cathedral are closely modelled after an actual facade sculpture in London, England. It holds a (sculpted) heraldic shield of some sort.

What happened to the kitty? :(

Benny strikes again :)
m13c0201 - Sure are a lot of em.
m13c0202 - What?
m13c0203 - Zombies.
m13c0204 - Yeah. They came from that ship…poor bastards…the Abysmal Gale.
m13c0205 - And…call me crazy but…ain't they a bit more riled up than normal?
m13c0206 - They're just a bit on the testy side, you know, grumpy cuz they're wet.
m13c0207 - Idiot. Wet or dry…zombies don't care.
m13c0208 - Oh, like you're an expert. Anyway, don't worry…if one of them gets ya, I'll be happy to cut your leg off or whatever it is you're supposed to do.
m13c0209 - [Angry] You taffer, you only cut off my LEG if that's WHERE one of 'em gets me. See? Otherwise there's no point!
m13c0210 - Alright, don't get so mad, I'm just saying I'd help you out in a pinch, that's all.
m13c0211 - Well, it makes me mad I gotta explain these things all the time.
And one that isn't in the game (supposed to play in Docks):
m13c0301 - No, no, ya gotta talk like you never even seen a pirate. All slow and regular Joe style.
m13c0302 - Like this? [slow and loud] HEY YOU LANDLUBBER!
m13c0303 - No, no! That was just louder. And saying "landlubber" is a dead giveaway. See, on land, they all call each other "pal" or "friend". Now, give it another go.
m13c0304 - Alright. Um, hey you there, ah, PAL. You'll walk the plank fer that!
m13c0305 - Well, that's better, but instead of saying "walk the plank", landlubbers say things like "Have a nice day" and "Fine weather, ain't it?"
m13c0306 - But that's idiotic! Who could talk that way?
