Not sure if companions count, but I love so many of Bastian's lines. Particularly:

"What do dragons need with gold anyway?! They don't buy anything!"

All dialogue counts

It didn't say that exactly, just something along those lines with the same energy. The point is, the ghost was trying to be scary and Mirri verbally cut it down to size, not unlike Ash.

Now I have to add another - this one came from an Argonian guard who caught me with a small bounty:

Your soul is covered in mud. Pay your bounty, and let the rain of justice wash you clean.

There is also the Khajiit woodworker in Rimmen:

"Abazbi prefers to work with hardwood, rather than the softer varieties. For obvious reasons, of course."

"Trust Abazbi, for she knows how to handle a fine piece of wood. Perhaps you are wishing for a firsthand experience, walker?"
