You guys are killing me.
"Ashley Willyums"? Hmmm ... yummy!!!
Ashley:Fine. Fine - you did it.
Shepard: I did what?
Ashley: You got me on my bad side. You finally did it.
Shepard: I did what, Ash, what?!
Ashley: Aren't there "special" pictures of me in your locker?
Shepard: No,... uhh ... have no idea what you're talking about.
Ashley: Then explain those!
Shepard: Oh, those pictures. Is it wrong to admire my girlfriend?
Ashley: That's okay. Just make sure Joker doesn't see them.
Shepard: Sure, ...
Ashley: Just for your info, Mister: it took two weeks and I had to pull a lot of strings to get those pictures out of the extranet. Joker somehow managed to post them in a forum called BSN. I really don't want to see them again. Except in your locker.
Shepard: Sure ... uhh ... yes.
Ashley: And we definitely need to discuss those naked pictures of Miranda I saw on your datapad.
Shepard: Joker?
Ashley: Joker.
First page, dialogue! Nice job Data.
I think Ash would go to great lengths to make sure nobody had those kind of pictures of her. Well, considering in the future those type of shots would be VERY hard to keep private.

I don't know about you guys, but I am just waiting for Bioware to pull off the "The Lord is my Shepard" joke with romanced Ash. The potential is there for so many good comebacks.
I'd laugh. My Shepard would laugh. And Ash would be like:
Ash: Dont laugh at my emotions.
Shepard: You laughed too.
Ash: I'm allowed to laugh at my own lameness.
Shepard: That's not fair, Ash. You laugh at mine.

Ashley: Oh god, John. You love pulling cheesy lines, right?
Shepard: Hey, I just was about to tell you something important, Ash.
Ashley: Sorry for shooting you down ... *smiles*
Shepard: No, won't tell you now. You got me on my bad side.
Ashley: Don't be a baby, John. I could tell you a cheesy line if that's going to help you.
Shepard: Maybe ... ?
Ashley: "The Lord is my Shepard. And I'm in love with Shepard, my Lord."
Shepard: *snickers* ... that's cheesy for sure.
Ashley: Yeah, cheesy ... Now tell me your story!
Shepard: Just wanted to say "I love you" and ask you for a date - what about 8pm in "Liara's Den"?
Ashley: Sure, why not. But why "Liara's Den"? Think it's a bit cruel to do all that lovey-dovey stuff when Liara is around. After all, she still has strong feelings for you ...
Shepard: I know ... and that's bad. I really like her - just can't give her what she needs most. You know, we had that talk before-
Ashley: John ...
Shepard: Okay. No date in "Liara's Den" then. The cabin?
Ashley: I'd say the "Flux". We could make it to the Citadel within six hours. I definitely need to dance ...
Shepard: The "Flux"? Deal.
Ashley: See you then, Skipper ... *kisses gently on cheek*
Shepard: See you, ... my love ...
Ashley: And stop using that tone ... it gives me fuzzy feelings!

That's a good one, though I was thinking more along the lines of her discussing what happened after Horizon.
Ash: (Having got onto the topic of Horizon) "You know Shepard, when the Collectors attacked, I was one of the first to be caught in the seeker swarms..."
Shepard: "I'm sorry I didn't get there sooner Ash, it must have been horrible for you."
Ash: "I was the farthest from the ship when it landed. I had to watch as all the others were taken before me. It was like I was trapped in a nightmare, unable to wake."
Shepard: (Opens his mouth to reply, but is interupted.)
Ash: "Just let me finnish skipper! I had no idea what was going to happen to us, no idea if I would live to see my family again. Yet no matter how scared I was.... I... Part of me wanted the end to come... If only... If only for a chance to be with you again."
Shepard: (Embraces Ashley and holds her to him.)
Ash: "Eventually, I began to pray. But I couldn't get past the first verse. 'The Lord is my Shepard'... It just kept repeating over and over again in my mind. Then, just as quickly as it started it was over and the Collectors left. I ran to the center of the colony. I had heard the defence batteries firing and I thought there were survivors that might need my help."
Shepard: (Leans back to look into Ashley's eyes as she finishes.)
Ash: "And there you were. Back from the dead... Come back to me..." (Ash trails off and looks away, tears in her eyes.)
Paragon Shepard: "You know I will always do everything in my power to come back to you Ash."
Neutral Shepard: "I remember how happy I was that you weren't taken. I tried to find you as we went through the colony."
Renegade Shepard: "That's why you told that colonist I was a god. 'The Lord is my Shepard', I like the sound of it."
Ash: (Hits him and laughs) "You jerk!"
I apologise if this seems out of character. I didn't take the time to deconstruct the characters and understand them before writting.

Ashley: So, Captain Hannah and I ended up talking for a bit. I heard about the incident.
Shepard: Which?
Ashley: I believe she called it the 'backflip' incident.
Shepard: Oh. Haha - that's when I was about ten I think. First time I tried to do a back flip off the veranda.
Ashley: And you broke your collarbone.
Shepard: I remember that one, I ended up hobbling up the stairs saying 'I'm alright' while my arm was red and blood. Scared the hell out of my mum, and my dad. He just shook his head and laughed. Something about inheriting his recklessness.
Ashley: You know, I always wondered where that scar came from.
Shepard: And now you know.
Ashley: And I heard about a few more embarrassing stories.
Shepard: .... what did you hear?
Ashley: Something about a three-year old toddler, waddling around asking random people if -
Shepard: AH-da-da-da-da! Not listening.
Ashley: I saw a picture too. You were a cute toddler.
Shepard: Not! Listening!
Ashley: God, you're such a baby. Oh, and just quickly, do you remember a 'Trisha Gates' by any chance? You used to visit her when you were a kid?
Shepard: Yeah - actually. Not really clear on it, but I'm pretty sure she was my mum's best friend. Or close to. Made the best chocolate cake. *Smiles nostalgically.*
Ashley: That's my mother.
Shepard: *Face goes blank instantly.* .... Bullsh!t.

Thought I would pop in and let you in on something that I haven't seen discussed before on BSN as it pertains to "how to not romance Ashley in ME1".
I just finished my canon run of ME1 in preparation of ME3. I decided to have my MShep not romance anyone in the first two games. In the past when avoiding a romance with Ashley I would choose the "You're out of line!" dialogue option when Ash brings up her concerns regarding aliens being on the Normandy, which results in Shep yelling "That's enough Chief! You always second guess your superiors!?". Ashley responds to this unexpected chastising with a "Sir! No Sir!" I personally hate this dialogue option because of how it harsh Shepard sounds. However I had to go along with it because I thought it was the only way to prevent an Ashley romance without leading her on besides not talking to her (which by doing that you lose out on interacting with a great character). However in this last playthrough I was having this exact same conversation with her and dreading the inevitable I decided to try to find another way. Well having now finished the playthrough I can definitively say there is another way to kill the romance in this same conversation that in my opinion makes Shep sound much less harsher.
Instead of picking "You're out of line!" keep the conversation going, go ahead and select the paragon options if you want, Ash will talk about her family's history in the milatary and how they "tend to think of Earth's interests as our own."
On the last dialogue choice choose the "Just shut up" dialogue choice. I know, it sounds harsh and this is probably why its been overlooked, but in actuality it results in a much less sour exchange between Shepard and Ash. Selecting it will result in Shepard in saying it an authoratative but not accussatory tone "I expect you'll keep your family's politics to yourself Chief. This mission will be hard enough without you picking fights with aliens." and Ash resigns with a humbled "Aye Aye Commander."
So there it is. I think by taking this route for Shepard comes across as a Commander trying to nip any potential confrontation between Ash and the others by simply telling her to keep her thoughts to herself, instead of yelling down at her for even questioning the practices of her superior officer. I know it may seem weird posting an alternative "how to not romance Ash in ME1 guide" here but I figured some of you guys will be replaying the game the next couple months as I am and may want a playthrough where you don't romance Ash, but would like to know of a better way to kill her romance that isn't so, well mean. I also decided to post it here because I figured the ME1 forums would be dead and more people would see it here. Sorry for the looooooonnnnnng post.
Cheers!

Shepard: Right.
Ashley: The one verse that kept popping into my mind was 'The lord is my Shepard'.
Shepard: ... *trying not to smirk*
Ashley: And... what?
Shepard: No, nothing.
Ashley: What?
Shepard: Nothing at all.
Ashley: .... you're a bastard.
Shepard: True on both counts, but come on. It's not often that your girlfriend calls you 'God'.
Ashley: That's not what I mean.
Shepard: Coulda fooled me.
Ashley: ... Tell me, Dear John - do you value the content on your pants? Cause I'm gonna cut them off if you keep this up.
Shepard: That would make this relationship very boring, don't you think?
Ashley: Jonathan!
Shepard: I'm sorry, but you're making this far too easy.
Ashley: Why do I even both with you?
Shepard: Because you love me so desperately.
Ashley: Yeah - I'm starting to think that I have issues.
Shepard: You're sleeping with an undead guy; who has an entire species worth of information stored in his brain; who slew more than a couple of mythological races and has an ego the size of a planet... and you're only just now wondering if you have issues?
