NPC Phrases or Greetings that you like

I know there was a thread about humorous NPC lines but this is somewhat different. A lot of the time NPCs say things that are inappropriate or just plain stupid, but sometimes they come out with something that really seems to work. My favourite in this category is:
May you find all that you seek traveller
For some reason I really like that one
Others ?

There's a lady in the Balmora Mage's Guild in Balmora . . .
who sometimes mutters "shouldn't be here" when I show up.
That always makes me think of the constructive things I COULD be doing instead of wasting time on the computer! (Like the eighth grade history tests that I should be grading right now!)

The orc outside Balmora mages and fighters guilds says "May your battles show only victorys" which is nice.

I was in Fort Frostmoth and I swear I heard one of the guards mutter "Pudding!" This surprised me, because it may be a reference to Woody Allen's old book
Without Feathers, I think.

Well I'm a big fan of the phrase:
Under sun and star outlander, we greet you warmly.
That's one of the phrases that stayed the same for me as my personality went up from 30 or so to 100. It isn't so extremely @ss kissing like as some of the things people say now like:
Greetings to you, a pleasure to meet you. and things like that as if we have been good friends all along, I might kill you where you stand. Though it is better than what all Telvanni say to me: GO AWAY!

The Altmer in the Mages Guild in Balmora says my favourite:
"I see you (pause) Hello!"

That guy on the east side of the great bazzar says one of my favorites and yet it gets annoying.....
"hi there sport"

Dirt
"Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt".....
I always laugh at that one - was it from something on MY boots?

At this stage I'm happy when anyone responds positively.
Anything thast isn't disparaging about Khajits, anyway.
Some that amuse me are;
"It speaks" when an Argonian sees me. Or, "Fresh meat" from the same.
For some reason, "Let's not make this official, outlander" sounds nice coming from the Ordinators in Vivec.
Finally. Though annoying, I often laugh when someone I am passing says, "You talk to much, outlander." - I was just walking past. I had no plans to speak to him/her at all.

I had somebody say that to me just after I had been trudging through a swamp, ROFL!

A giant Nordish man, bigger then me, whistled twice when I walked by. It could’ve been the exquisite clothes or it could’ve been something else. I decided to file for sexual harassment when I thought to myself… maybe the rest of the town doesn’t need to know about this.

I encountered the same on my brief excursion to Fort Frostmouth. I was tired at the time so didn't make that connection
(I ended up thinking it was some sort of strangely Nordic perverted comment) 
, but lol!
@Bloodthroe, ROFL!

After a hard day's work in Morrwind, I like to drop everything that I'm carrying, strip down to my loin cloth and run around whatever town I am currently passing through. Keep in mind that I am a *male* Imperial... As I'm streaking through the town, I get many-a-whistle from the Redguards and Nords, "You are a fool to walk around like that!" from the Dark Elves, "Aren't you a sight? You're naked!" from the High Elves, and my favorite, "Oh! Spare me!" from my fellow Imperials. I also walked up to Stargel in Balmora and he said, "I like what I see..." I would suggest staying away from him... Oh yes, and we can't forget, "Put that away!" And the laughs are quite comical... If you're ever frustrated with the game, I suggest stripping and running around a town like a care-free madman. But I agree with whoever said it, it is quite annoying when I'm just walking by someone and they say, "You talk too much, outlander." It makes me want to burst in a rage of fury and poison them while slitting their throats. Ah, the power... But anyways, my favorite saying? I find it amusing when a Khajitt that I have seen many times before will say to me, "Its scent is new." Or Sugar-Lips-Habasi saying, "Our sugar is yours, friend." I dunno... Can't think of a favorite one. I guess "Under sun and sky, outlander. May you find all that you seek and be well through your travels." It's pretty nice to hear coming from a Dark Elf. I once got a lecture from this one guy. I think he glitched or somethin'. OH! Wait, I just thought of one! It's hilarious when I'll walk in front of a person, then walk behind them and they'll say, "Someone is watching me... I can tell..." I like to stab them in the back at that point and say, "Surprise!", just for kicks.

I love, "Stoopid!" when someone dies.

The Ordinators say:
"If you here for trouble, you'll get more than you bargained for!"

That's exactly the kind of thing my mom used to say.
