New Quote:
"Sharon... so pretty ... you ...take my ...breath..."

Captain America?

Ben Grimm?

BRM's got it -- those are Cap's last words (as far as we know...)

(Lucky guess, based on the chatter in Gym'll's)

Next:

S1: "You hang with dolphins?"
S2: "Raised by them, actually."
S1: "Aw, shoot! Now I gotta be civil!"

What, no guesses?! I thought this one was easy! Even if one hasn't read the quoted story, a basic familiarity with the characters should allow one to deduce the answer.

Oh well, a hint then: DC

Is it Lobo and Dolphin? I can't imagine when they would have interacted...

No, but you're close.

Well, it's been over a week, so I will turn this over to Xben, who *was* close.
The correct answer is Lobo and Aquaman, from Peter David's run on Aquaman (which coincidentally included Dolphin as a supporting character).

Xben, come on down!

"Now we're in the locker room. Why, there are some lockers now! Here's a locker up close. Uh-oh! That looks like trouble! Bob was always such an imaginative boy."

No guesses as of yet, and I guess it is pretty obscure. I'd give more of the quote, but I'm actually away from the comic now for a few weeks.

Here are some hints: it's a DC book, a mini-series. This is a female character who is, as far as I know, making her only appearance ever in a comic. Interestingly, she is never actually seen in the comic, we just read her words.

To know who this character is, you kind of have to know who this "Bob" she refers to is.

Sorry this has been so stalled.

The answer is from the first Ambush Bug miniseries: Robert Loren Fleming's (the writer's) mother, who takes over scripting for a page or two.

Anyone else who wants to can go next.

Easy one

"After my rocket crashed on your world, the U.S. War Department took me in and asked me to create an atomic bomb. That was 2 years ago. It took me 10 minutes."

Brainiac 5, in the World War II/time flux issue?

Yup Brainiac Minus One from Legionaires 54.

The rest of the quote being "I am the Manhattan Project"

your serve...

I'll post something over the weekend.

"There’s a theory that for a human to be killed by a god is the best thing that could possibly happen to the human under consideration. It eliminates all questions of belief, while manifestly placing a human life at the service of a higher power. Where do you stand on this theory?"

Dammit, that's incredibly familiar but I can't quite place it. I think it might be from Sandman though. Or possiblt Lucifer. It certainly sounds like something Lucifer would say.

you're in the right ballpark.

Lucifer played a role in the storyline this comes from, but he was not in this scene.

I'm fairly certain it's from Sandman then. Is it Loki towards the end of the series somewhere?

Was it the Corinthian? (the guy with the mouths as eyes - was that his name?)

Bevis has it.
Right before he torches Lyta's friend Carla.

(Drake, while the Corinthian was not the speaker I quoted, you do accurately describe him)

Yay! I knew I recognised it.

New quote:

"Oh Jesus, Harvey! Is it you again? You trying to ruin my heels?"

No takers?

Another quote from the same character in the same book:

"Oh, what a senseless waste of human life".
