Since the Glowing Eyes quote by the Ramones wasn't really good and has been commented out, I have a better suggestion for it:

Turn around, bright eyes.

I don't entirely get the quote in Pretending to Be One's Own Relative. With no context it seems like the man is just correcting someone on a mistake

Yeah, that is not clear at all. Unfortunately, there's no quotes page for a replacement.

Yo mods, can you please hook a crowner for Monster.Fan Works with the following options?

The Barnslake Killer: I want to stop being bored, Sherlock Holmes. At first, it started off with just a few. Moderation. But then, I got carried away. I wanted more.
Sherlock Holmes: You tried to kill me.
The Barnslake Killer: Yes, I did. A pity it didn't come off. It would have been a marvellous feather in my cap. All the same, I might still get that feather.

"Then, by far the worst, the center of the lab. A tank of tainted green nutritive liquid containing the greatest abomination the Druchii had ever created. She had somehow fused and perverted several dozen soulstones. She had turned shelter from the Old Enemy into a prison of pain and absurdity. The psionic waves emitted by this abortion still caused him mental pain even in this distant memory. The souls of the Eldar within were twisted, mixed together, and in unspeakable torment. He touched the tank and heard the distorted voices begging him to stop it as they would rather face the Old Enemy than continue to exist in this state."
—Description of Yzihira's torture of Eldar souls, Per Aspera Ad Astra (link)

"You and your precious cousin... I'll make sure to peel you apart slowly for all this trouble. I'm going to enjoy watching you scream in agony until your faces are frozen with true horror."

"You kidnap and brainwash our friend, you set Kuyou down upon us, you used us like toys... all so you can destroy the world with Alucard? All I see before me is a misguided fool that is going to be cast down into Hell."

I agree; with the "present" part removed, the Biff quote works well enough. It's a funny version of it, too.

Why does Uncle Vanya have a header consisting of a Take That! in the form of a Family Guy line? Permission to strike it (and the weird additional Take That! in the YMMV page) down?

[up] It isn't entirely irrelevant:

  • Referenced in "A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Bucks", when Peter attends a performance of Uncle Vanya, that he finds to be rather dull. He calls out from the audience, "For crying out loud, somebody throw a pie!"

But it's an obtuse and unnecessary reference either way, so definite cut.

[up] Yes definitely! I guess the comment makes sense in context, but not as a page quote.

For Sandbox.Monster NYPD Blue & Monster.NYPD Blue

"A man grabbed me from behind and I guess he must have injected me with some kind of sedative because I went right out…[I awoke] in this man's basement. It was like a torture chamber…There was a table with restraints on it, handcuffs chained to the wall. He'd bring in a bamboo cane that he'd use to beat the back of my legs. It was medieval…[I was fed] through a slot in the door. I'd eat, then wake up, very sore, sexually violated, bruised."

Music.Songs Of Innocence has a quote that's just commentary about the album's infamous release strategy, without really reflecting on the actual content of the album. At the very least, it needs to be deleted; however, I'd still like to float this proposition for an alternative quote. This specific lyric encapsulates the album's theme of preserving hope, but it might be a little obtuse:

"If there is a light we can't always see
And there is a world we can always be
If there is a dark that we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light, don't let it go out"
– "Song for Someone"

It really, really, really could happen.
