About This Quiz
One of the things that makes the "Portal" game series so memorable is the funny one-liners and comments by the characters. Granted, there are only a few characters who actually speak, and the main protagonist, Chell, is not one of them. Most of the dialogue is actually conducted by GLaDOS (the main antagonist), and in "Portal 2," characters like Cave Johnson (founder of Aperture Science) and Wheatley (the sidekick) also make an appearance. Even some of the turrets have some great one-liners as well, like "I'm on fire," "Excuse me, you're squishing me" and "Sleep mode activated." But perhaps the most famous quote is "The cake is a _________." Unsure of what goes in this blank? Well, get your portal device and your thinking cap ready, because this gaming quiz will test your knowledge on some pretty memorable "Portal" quotes!
"Portal" was created by Valve and features unique puzzles, hilarious dialogue and a backstory that remains a mystery to this day. The company Valve is also known for hits like "Left 4 Dead," "Half-Life" and "Team Fortress." But when it comes to "Portal," players are treated to a science-based world that is both exciting and haunting. Put your "Portal" knowledge to the test!
Portal device
One of the first things that Chell obtains in the "Portal" games is none other than the portal device. She uses it to solve puzzles and get closer to the real enemy of the game: GlaDOS.

Terrible
Pleasant
The enemy GLaDOS is known for her heavily sarcastic remarks and long-winded responses, so when she's hoping that your "brief detention has been a pleasant one," she really doesn't mean it.

Tests
Truth
Once again, GLaDOS is up to no good with her sarcastic remarks and responses, this time by saying that she's been "enhancing the truth" to Chell. This occurs in some of the early test chambers.

Cake
GLaDOS wholeheartedly believes that she can tempt Chell with cake and encourages her to quit through most of the puzzles. But did you know that you're able to find the cake in the first Portal game?
Ice cream
Apple pie

Marriage
Therapy
Grief
How nice of GLaDOS to offer you grief counseling, right? Wrong, because she's a sadistic type of machine who won't actually offer you cake or counseling, even though Chell probably needs it.

Destroyed
Euthanized
During the 17th test chamber, GLaDOS forces Chell to destroy the weighted companion cube, which accompanied her on quite a few tests as both a helpful aid and as a potential "friend."

Retaliate
Speak
Although the weighted companion cube doesn't speak in the game, there's an underlying message to what GLaDOS is saying here. Is she actually worried that it may talk, and if so, what does that say about the cube itself?

Lift
We should probably thank GLaDOS for giving us a lift ... to the next test chamber. But regardless, it's a reward for your efforts against this evil machine (maybe she does have a soft spot after all)?

Kill
Trap
GLaDOS is making fun of Chell here during one of the test chambers, essentially calling out her lack of intellect. We all know Chell isn't dumb, because she (well, you, the player!) manages to solve GLaDOS' most diabolical puzzles.
Lock
Damage

Defiance
Another word for "defiance" is "resistance." So essentially, GLaDOS is saying that if you refuse to participate in the tests or rebel in any sort of way, then you're apparently going to "android hell."

GLaDOS says this line during the end of test chamber 19, right before she attempts to kill Chell via a fire pit. Maybe you'll be destroyed in 4000 Kelvin temperatures, but at least the Aperture devices will be unharmed.

Wheatley's introduction in "Portal 2" is basically iconic. For those of us who played the first game, it was jarring but also a lot of fun to meet a character who talked to Chell and didn't seem to wish her imminent harm.

Management
Wheatley is attached to something called a management rail, which he's supposed to stay on to for dear life (literally). But luckily, after he releases himself from it, he seems to be alive and unharmed.

When Chell uses her thermal discouragement beam on turrets, they'll reply with several phrases like "This is not good" and "You've made your point." One of the other ones is "I'm on fire, owww."

Sometimes turrets feel sad about their friends dying, but other times, they seem to praise Chell for her efforts. In this context, a turret is complimenting Chell's aim for firing at another turret.

Humans
Wheatley tends to talk a lot in "Portal 2," and one of the things he rambles about is humans. He actually goes on to say "And their ... folklore. Wonderful, very colorful ..."

We don't know if GLaDOS is telling the truth when talking about this "Aperture Science Self-Esteem Fund for Girls," but one thing's for sure: Chell is here to escape into the real world, not donate her organs.

Peptic
Who knows if peptic salve and adrenaline is even available at Aperture Science, but it's nice to know that GLaDOS still cares for your well-being (in the most sarcastic way possible).

Danger
GLaDOS is talking about "danger" here, and she means it. As in, she's not really using this element for any lab tests but purely to watch Chell suffer.

There's a section in the game that explores the "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day" aspect that "did not end well," according to Wheatley. And one of the science projects was none other than a baking-soda volcano.

Wheatley is talking about the neurotoxin generator in "Portal 2." After you reach it, he also says "Not going to be able to just, you know, push it over. Have to apply some cleverness."

The song "Still Alive" plays in the credits at the end of the first "Portal" game, and the word in the blank is "dead." Other memorable lines in the song are "Go ahead and leave me" and "I think I prefer to stay inside." Good luck getting it out of your head!

Pain
Once again, GLaDOS messes with Chell's mind by saying that she (as a machine) can feel pain, but then gets annoyed when Chell doesn't listen to her. This aggravates GLaDOS because she has nobody else to torment.
Sorrow

ANGERED
ANNOYED
MURDERED
GLaDOS has some hard feelings between her and Chell after the first game. The sadistic machine also uses the word "murdered" during her reawakening and doesn't seem to understand why Chell would do such a thing.

Lasers
The evil GLaDOS is once again trying to scare Chell, but this time with potentially deadly lasers. This occurs during "The Cold Boot" chapter of "Portal 2" in the first testing chamber.

When you use your portal device to launch a turret, it will sometimes say "I'm afraid of heights." It may also yell "See you soon," "I'm flying," "Glorious freedom" and "Wheeeeeee."

During "Portal 2," GLaDOS actually has a change of heart and fights on your side against the evil Wheatley. Who knows if Chell is actually adopted or not, but according to Wheatley, this means that she has a "lack of parents."

Cave Johnson founded Aperture Science, and he gives many insightful clues toward the history of this lab. He also talks about different kinds of gel substances in the game, and one of them is called repulsion gel.

Cave Johnson was the kind of man who did whatever he pleased, all in the name of science. And in this case, he bought a lot of moon rocks to make a gel substance, but apparently, he got pretty sick from it.

Apparently, Mr. Johnson is talking about gasoline here. Then he says, "That's normal. We've been shooting you with an invisible laser that's supposed to turn blood into gasoline, so all that means is it's working."

GLaDOS is referring to Wheatley as a "little idiot" ever since he decided to go the evil route. But despite his traps, Chell and GLaDOS still manage to work together to defeat him.

GLaDOS claims that Chell broke her heart because in the first game, she defeats her (almost). And ever since then, GLaDOS has been giving off many passive-aggressive comments.
