Feel like this what she would have said when she met Larry in LSL2.

In connection with Katrina's line ... NARRATOR, QfG4: "You find yourself falling asleep."

A NSFW one: Ad Avis, QfG4: "How nice of you to come." (That is ... so not what he meant)

And a milder one ... Ad Avis (QfG4): "You fool! Did you really think you could escape from me?"

And just for fun ...

Meh, I don't feel like those are something that can be taken out of context. They don't really have the potential for a "double meaning" when just hearing that line.

3 and 2 in particular!

Mudbath Troll, KQ7: “I have the same trouble with Hogarth. I just use wet sulphur!”

Narrator, KQ6: “Alexander feels a strange pulling sensation.” (Apparently this one’s rather popular out in meme-land, or so I’ve read.)

Narrator, LB2: “A slab of meat which smells ripe!”

Er ... consider Katrina's line -- “I want you to know what it is like to be helpless!” -- and her costume, and she's whipping the hero ... and the hero falls asleep.

Hmm, I don't understand the first two? *shrug* But I haven't played enough King's Quest anyway.

I mean, the wet sulfur - a bit of a stretch.

But the "Alexandar feels a strange pulling sensation" taken out of context is very clearly sexual... in the right mind.

Narrator, LB2: “Jeepers, Laura! Not in front of witnesses!”

But I don't recall that one. When does that happen?

Trying to perform certain actions in the museum, like opening secret passages, if someone else is in the room (or sometimes even when not, it can be a little buggy).
