One thing that really irritates me about the game script is "I'll take my leave now" which has been used at some very inappropriate areas. Such as when surrounded by the watch after stealing and being told you'll either go to jail or return the stolen item.
Instead "I'll take my leave now" should be replaced with... "I'm about to leave now, you'd be wise to do the same!" which would only provoke the fight.
Other times before boss battles that end in dialog "I'll take my leave now" could end in "Bring it!" or "En garde!" (French for on your guard)
A few more suggestions to replace "I'll take my leave now" with boss dialogs...
"*Sigh* I'm kinda sick of listening to how you want to end the world, lets just end this now."
"This plan sounds just awful! Thank the Gods I'm here to stop you!"
"I've got friends in that town, I can't let you do this!"
"You're clearly mad, I have the perfect cure!" <fight>
"I really don't have time for you any more, so please stand still while I dispose of you."
"Well I think I've had enough of your eccentric babbling for one lifetime."
"My (weapon on hand) is taking confessions now, please kneel"
NEW:
"To be quite honest, my senile grandmother used babble on better then you. If you don't believe me, in a few minutes time you'll be listening to the old bat in the Hall of Echos!"
I'd like to have this thread to inspire more script that us fans can come up with to push for Larian to implement in the game. We can see how many of our ideas actually make it into the final product!

The best ending of a conversation goes to that one boss in Divinity 2 where you keep yelling "MAXOS" until the fight begins. The boss there hurls a ton of fire balls if I remember correctly. That is where I originally came up with the idea.
The most comical boss battle (which I wish the game had a lot more of) was in Cyseal after the trap house where you fought that undead king. The undead ministerial was my favorite.
Got a few more...
"There will be nothing immaculate about them mess I'll make out of you!"
"Time to beat you the way your mother should have!"
"I'm not afraid of any ghosts!" (Ok, got this one from Ghostbusters)
"I've got a real bone to pick with you..."
"What can a bunch of tiney goblins possibly do to stop us?"
"I heard that if you hit an orc hard enough, they talk like goblins."
"I heard that if you kick an orc just right, they sing like elves!"
Raze:
IMO the best Divinity 2 end to a conversation goes to Hallorn, in the Derelict Tunnels (bounty hunter quest). He basically says 'your money or your life' and you can talk through a philosophical debate about that choice, which increasingly confuses and angers him, until he attacks.
