"I am gathering a strike force to confound or destroy my enemies. Though my power dwarfs that of any single being, I cannot function in many places at once... not with full coordination of purpose. I have brought you here to work as some of my agents. Accede, and great wealth and power shall be given you. That, and the lives of your old enemies, whom I will send you against. Refuse, and you die on the spot. Make your decision."
—Mordru, Hellsister Trilogy
Manny: Look, as much as I'm tempted to join a monkey...the Easter Bunny and a giant bag of pudding...I'll pass. No one's going to stop me from getting back to my family!
Captain Gutt: That family is going to be the death of you!
A special offer for today, I'll tell you what I'll do
All those who sign without delay will get a free tattoo
For it's like money in the bank
Come on, join up, and I'll be frank
Unless you do, you'll Walk the Plank
The choice is up to you
—Captain Hook during "The Elegant Captain Hook" song number in Peter Pan
Bramblepaw: Join you? After everything you've done? I'd rather die!
Tigerstar: Are you sure? I won't make the offer twice. Join me now, or you will die.
Bramblepaw: Then at least I'll go to StarClan as a loyal ThunderClan cat.
Tigerstar: Fool! Stay, then, and die with these other fools.

Omni-Man: You're doing this for nothing. Being a part of the empire will make Earth better than it ever was!
Mark: And what if they resist?
Omni-Man: That's why we're here, to keep them from resisting! To show them how wrong they are! How pointless it is! That they can be a part of something bigger...or die!

"You may rejoice, citizens of Iacon! Your new ruler, Megatron, has arrived! No longer will you be plagued by the burdens of freedom and choice. Henceforth, MY will is the only guidance you shall require. Embrace the Decepticon way, and reap its rewards... or resist, and face destruction."

Sebastian: And what's in it for me?
Xaneth: Oh, this is the fun part. You learn how to fight better, you learn all the tricks of the villainy trade, including how to be an insufferable prick. You learn how the dungeon works, you get a small cut of whatever loot we get... And... I don't rip your spine out through your skull and tie it as a ribbon on the package containing your still beating heart that I will send to your mother along with the message that she's next.
Sebastian: [Beat] So where do I sign up?

Keep this on the down-low, but my crew was just wiped out by the pirate council. See, they're trying to amass a giant force of pirates, because they need help going after some old treasure of some sort. We didn't want to join, so they sank our ship!... Makes me wonder, though, why would they need so many pirates to go after some treasure? It's that dangerous?
—Ballast Harbor bar patron, Ocean's Heart
"I am so very reluctant to fight any of our old friends from the academy. It's all well and good if we can convince them to join us... But in the end, we're still making them bend to our will. They might not want it at all. We're essentially forcing them to choose between death or betraying their friends and family. It feels cruel."
—Mercedes von Martritz, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
