"If the Hero tells me he wants to break up with me or quit his dangerous job for my protection, it's already too late; a kidnapping is already in the planning, and I will take all reasonable precautions against it."

Bruce Wayne: You'll leave me?
Alfred: You see only one end to your journey. Leaving is all I have to make you understand, you're not Batman anymore. You have to find another way. You used to talk about finishing a life beyond that awful cape.
Bruce Wayne: Rachel died believing that we would be together; that was my life beyond the cape. I can't just move on. She didn't, she couldn't.
Alfred: What if she had? What if, before she died, she wrote a letter saying she chose Harvey Dent over you? And what if, to spare your pain, I burnt that letter?
Bruce Wayne: How dare you use Rachel to try to stop me?
Alfred: I am using the truth, Master Wayne. Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day. I'm sorry.
Bruce Wayne: You're sorry? You expect to destroy my world and then think we're going to shake hands?
Alfred: No... no, I know what this means.
Bruce Wayne: What does it mean?
Alfred: It means your hatred... and it also means losing someone that I have cared for since I first heard his cries echo through this house. But it might also mean saving your life. And that is more important.
Bruce Wayne: Goodbye, Alfred.
Mary Corleone: I'll always love you.
Vincent Mancini: Love somebody else.
Dani Ramos: What did you tell them?
T-800 / "Carl": I told them you coming here makes this place unsafe for them. Also, the day I warned them would come, has come. My past has caught up with me. And...I won't be back.

Martin: Get. Out. We're not friends, Daisy! None of us are, we're all just trapped together and kidding ourselves that we don't hate it. Christ, there are more important things than feelings right now, alright, so just- leave me alone! For good.
Daisy: ...Right. You got it.
(she closes the door, and Peter Lukas materializes)
Martin: Well?
Peter: I'm impressed. And grateful.
Martin: I didn't do it for you. (...) It's easier, this way. I'm sure you would have had no problems sending her away.
Peter: I hadn't really thought about it. And now, thanks to you, I don't need to.

He had a wife, a kid, responsibilities. "Take the money. Do something good with it." Well... I tried. I tried. But he wouldn't listen. My boy was stubborn. My boy was strong... and he was gonna get himself killed. So I told him... I told him I did it too, that I was like Hoffman, getting by, and that's what you heard that night: me talking him down, him kicking and screaming until the fight went out of him. He put me up on a pedestal... and I had to show him that I was down in the gutter with the rest of them.
Broke my boy. [crying] I broke my boy...
Broke my boy. [crying] I broke my boy...

Veronica: Ram didn't write that love note, I did.
Martha: (laughs) No...
Veronica: Yeah. The Heathers put me up to it. The whole school was in on the joke and no one laughed harder than Ram. He didn't love you. He was a dick. Now he's dead. Move on. (Martha runs away in tears) Shit... (Ghost!Chandler smugly looks at her) No — I had to hurt her! If JD caught her going through his stuff, he would —
Ghost!Chandler: Kill her? Is that what you're afraid of?

Finally, Shen Qingqiu said, "I thank Zhangmen-shixiong for his generosity. Now get lost. Never appear before me ever again."
Yue Qingyuan put Xuan Su back on his waist, then complied with Shen Qingqiu’s wish and slowly walked out.
If you can escape this, Sect Leader Yue, get far away, as far as you can. From now on, never again involve yourself with a thing like Shen Qingqiu.
