4. "At least Bush is in prison."
*thud*

There is also Aldous Huxley's alleged last words. The story goes that he was on his deathbed and ingested some LSD. He stayed there with his eyes closed for eight hours, opened his eyes, said, "I thought so," and died.

The story is probably apocryphal, but I always liked it.

7. "Kick the tires and light the fires!"
As we prepare to launch our starships into orbit.

Buh-Bye, Earth. I'm off to outer space.

8. Rommel, you magnificient bastard!
I read your book!

Probably horribly inaccurate, but then I'm remembering the MST3K versions of this Patton quote.

Either that or, "No one walks out on me... I'm CHARLES FOSTER KANE!"

10. "Banzai!"
I guess that's a Japanese variation on the suicide whoop, but I like it better.

16. A few choices...
As I close my eyes for the last time:
"Wasn't much, but it'll have to do..."

Look down at myself in disbelief and say:
"Wha..? So this is the end of Chromo?"
Taken from the last line of "Little Caeser"

If my immediate family is standing around me:
"Well, you will all have to wash your own f*cking dishes now!"

But who knows what they will really say when that time comes...
