1 Julius Caesar: “It seems to me that I know you, Gaul. Who are you?”
Asterix: “Obelix and Asterix!”
Obelix: “First Legion, third Cohort and I don’t recall the rest.”
2 “No, Obelix, not you!” — Getafix the Druid to Obelix, when the healthy-but-not-fat Gaul insists on having a portion of the legendary magic potion.
3 “No, you will not sing!” — Fulliautomatix the blacksmith, while relentlessly pounding Cacofonix the Bard.
4 “These Gauls are crazy!” — Roman legionary at the receiving end.
5 “These Romans are crazy!” — Obelix, often (the nationality can be substituted, Indians included).
6 “Zigackly!” — Obelix, drunk.
7 Obelix: “So the Visigoths are Goths from the east?”
Asterix: “No, the Visigoths are Goths from the west. The Goths from the East are Ostrogoths, but in relation to us, the Goths from the west live in the east. Do you see?”
Obelix: “No”.
8 Pegleg the Pirate, floating on the endless seas: “Sic! Ad nauseum (And so on to the point of causing nausea)!”
Pirate Lookout: “I’m feeling a bit seasic (sic) myself!”
9 Caesar, after the audience cheers his speech, urging Brutus to rise and clap as well: “Et tu, Brute! (You too, Brutus!).”
10 “That’s a good one, that is! Teeheehee!” — Obelix, about the 10th time, after he finally gets the joke.
11 “Saves us a few knocks, and comes to the same thing in the end.” — Pirate Redbeard, after scuttling his own ship before Asterix-Obelix destroy it.
12 “Alea jacta est!” (The die is cast) — Pegleg the pirate, after every shipwreck brought on Redbeard’s ships by Asterix-Obelix.
13 “ tempora, mores!” (Oh! the times! Oh! the habits!)
— Roman legionaries after a Gaulish thrashing.
14 “By Toutatis! — Asterix, in Asterix the Gaul.
15 “There is something rotten in my kingdom.” — Viking chief Odiuscomparissen, while holding a skull in his hand, in Asterix and The Great Crossing. (The nationality of the Vikings in this story is Danish, so Hamlet puns abound.)
16 “To be or not to be, that’s the question.” — Herendethelessen in The Great Crossing, as he wonders if he is a discoverer or not.
17 Briton 1, on noticing a fleet of Roman galleys approaching to invade British shores: “Goodness gracious! This is a jolly rum thing, eh, what?”
Briton 2: “I say, rather, old fruit!”
18 “I may have invented a potion which gives superhuman strength, and another which turns them into granite and makes them revert to childhood, but do you expect me to work miracles?” — Getafix the Druid, in Asterix and The Actress.
19 “He’s an excellent sort when he doesn’t sing.” — Getafix on Cacofonix the Bard.
20 Parent to Cacofonix as schoolteacher: “Oh, so a woman can’t be a bard?”
Cacofonix: “No Ma’am! She’s barred from being a bard!!!”
21 Bravura the female Bard to Obelix: “Right, fatso. Let’s see if your mathematics is as strong as your aesthetics. Say your III times table!”
Obelix: “Baby! One time three is Asterix, Dogmatix and me, but three times boars makes a lot more on the table, of course!”
22 Roman legionary 1: “Take that parsley out of your ears.”
Roman legionary 2: “What did you say?”
23 “Pachyderm I may be...but I am not FAT!” — Obelix, angry.
24 “Tap! Tap! Tap!” — Obelix, stumped.
25 Asterix to inn owner: “Two boars please.”
Obelix: “Two for me too!”
26 Asterix to Anticlimax the Briton: “What do you keep saying ‘what’ for?”
Anticlimax: “What? You don’t know what’s what, what?”
27 Vitalstatistix (ailing and in bed, exclaiming as the druid just touches his stomach) in Asterix and The Chieftain’s Shield: “OUUUUUUCH!”
Obelix: “Can I have a go too?”
28 Vitalstatistix in Asterix and The Soothsayer: “It looks like the gods have had a brainstorm under the influence of goddess Mania!”
Obelix to Asterix: “Ever heard of her?”
Asterix: “No, she must be one of the lunatic fringe.”
29 “I have a job to do, I have!”
“Fool!”
“Idiot!”
“Young hooligan!”
“Moron!”
— Gauls addressing each other while stuck in the endless traffic jams of Lutetia
30 “By Belisama!” — Obelix, excited.
31 “GRRRRRrrrrrrrr…” — Dogmatix, angry.
32 “Gauls! We have nothing to fear; except perhaps that the sky may fall on our heads tomorrow. But as we all know, tomorrow never comes!!” — Chief Vitalstatistix.
