We've got something like that, but it's imm-run.
It's a mob, called the Gossip. You say the name of a player to her, and she gives you some gossip about him. At present she responds to about 50 different names, but only with a set line. And you have to be a pretty wellknown player, to get on her gossip list.

It would be possible, using scripts, to give her a random number of lines to choose from for each name on her list.

It would also be possible to make her repeat any line a player says to her, which I suppose would be more along the line what you want. We've got another mob doing that, it then replies with a random line from its memory, and the memory builds up with new lines until the mud crashes or reboots.
