Kefka is also notable for many humorous one-liners during the course of the game. The following are taken from the original English translation by Ted Woolsey of Final Fantasy VI .
- "My sweet little magic-user! Uwee hee hee! With this Slave Crown I'll practically OWN you!" - In Terra's first flashback.
- "Edgar, you pinhead! Why do you have to live out in the middle of nowhere?!?" - En route to Figaro Castle.
- "These recon jobs are the pits! ...AHEM! There's SAND on my boots!" - To his soldiers, while they're in the desert, who promptly clean his boots and salute.
- "I'd hate to see anything happen to your precious Figaro!" - The day before Kefka sets Figaro Castle on fire.
- "'Wait,' he said. Do I look like a waiter?" - While engaged in battle with Sabin at the imperial encampment near Doma.
- "Nothing can beat the music of hundreds of voices screaming in unison!" - As he poisons the Doma river to kill the castle's inhabitants.
- "I hate hate hate hate hate hate... hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE YOU!" - After Celes stabs him on the Floating Continent.
- "Run! Run! Or you'll be well done!" - While zapping the Emperor with lightning after acquiring the power of the Goddess Statues.
- "What fun is destruction if no 'precious' lives are lost?" - To Terra, as she tells him he cannot win as long as people hope for the future.
- "This is sickening... You sound like chapters from a self-help booklet! Prepare yourselves!" - During the final confrontation, as a reply to the heroes' cliché, melodramatic "what we've learned on our journey and why we fight against evil" speech. This line gave rise to the term "self-help booklet scene" among gamers to refer to similar sequences in other games.
- "Life... dreams... hope... Where'd they come from? And where are they headed? These things... I am going to destroy!" - Final battle dialogue
