Me and my friend's collaborative webcomic: Forged MenSome security specialists are given the job of protecting a key witness in a court case against The Mafia. To make sure that the witness isn't killed before the trial, they locate an abandoned warehouse and convert it into a secret safe house, with reinforced walls and cameras that would catch any would-be assassins. A few hours before the trial, one of the specialists guarding the room the witness is in feels a draft and utters the above line...and then he opens the door to check on the witness, only to discover a massive hole in an 'impenetrable' wall and no sign of the man he was supposed to be guarding.

Spoken by the devil as he appears to collect his payment in a Faustian bargain.
"I'm afraid it's over, sir."
The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]That one's obvious. The line is said by the commander's adviser as he receives the battle reports that tell them that their most vital battle has been lost, and thus, they will lose the war too.
"That was an order!"
The Hero is cursed to obey any command given to him, and he has just been given an order that will cause him to cross the Moral Event Horizon.
"Do you have the courage...to ride with the devil?"
Spoken by the operator of evacuation vehicle that the heroes are in.
This is the last phase of your training course.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.Oh God, this is also easy.
The Evil Mentor forces his student to choose between two of his friends who gets to live and who gets to be killed by him in an effort to teach him about the unfair world. It went too well.

The heroes' Enemy Mine situation with a psychotic Knight Templar whilst Storming the Castle has been going rather well - he's even shared a couple of jokes with the team prankster. They just finished blasting through the Evil Overlord's armoury, and are about to head off... but their unlikely ally just stopped in front of them, and doesn't seem to plan on moving any time soon. One of them goes over to see what the problem is, and he holds up a live grenade, answering with a bright, cheery smile...

What's precedent ever done for us?A soldier with the nickname "Goose" is instructed by a fellow soldier to duck over the walkie-talkie, as he's about to be assassinated. However, the reader/watcher/whatever knows something that the other guy doesn't- Goose's walkie-talkie is broken.
"Now time is party time!"
YOU'LL PAY FOR THE WHOLE SEAT, BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDGE!!!A serial killer decides to celebrate his own birthday by kidnapping a bunch of people. When the criminal leaves, the innocent victims work together to try and escape from their horrible predicament...only for the sole exit to lead to a giant room filled with balloons and streamers, and the killer staring right at them. It turns out that the killer finds removing that last shred of hope from a victim's heart far more interesting than the actual kidnapping, and now that he has his 'present', it's time to get rid of his prey...
"Can someone please help me get this door off my head?"
The main protagonist of the story has encountered a problem. Gravity got all screw up, and now he's fallen into a door, as his center of balance also changed to his head.
But... The city was right there before I turned around!
The protagonist has just discovered he was Dead All Along as the city is replaced by infernal chains.
"I will not be undone by you!"
"All you Fascists bound to lose."A sapiant rope which can see the future (and thus knows who will undo the knots in it and claim the sword it protects) says this to the protagonist; she isn't really The Chosen One.
It seems to be turning cyan or magenta...but not both.
TV Tropes's No. 1 bread themed lesbian. she/her, fae/faerThe magical aura of a character is either cyan, magenta, or blue, indicating that the person is good, evil, or neutral, respectively. When a morally ambiguous character's aura is revealed, it rapidly flickers between cyan and magenta, but never blue, indicating that he is destined to either work for the good guys or the other guys.
"Soon, the super karate monkey death car will park in my space."
YOU'LL PAY FOR THE WHOLE SEAT, BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDGE!!!The setting is Japan; specifically, the studio of the hit show "Karate Monkey Saves World With Super Death Car And Beats Up Evil Doctor Toucan"...which never really gained fame in America due to a shoddy translation job. The problem is that nobody can stand the director, but since the pay is so good, they choose to kill him rather than seeking other employment. They decide to make it look like an accident by placing a mine under his parking space; normally, this wouldn't seem accidental, but the studio next door shoots extremely realistic war dramas. On the day the 'accident' is supposed to occur, they see the director walking around unscratched, and it's revealed that he decided to switch places since a friend wanted to park closer to the studio...and that friend who's about to be killed, as the line reveals, is the show's star.
It’s time to wade into the terrifying world of hardcore air rifle enthusiasts.
A totalitarian government rounded up all the air rifle enthusiasts, put them in camps, and pureed them. The hero needs to venture into the resulting pool where the puree was dumped to obtain a vital MacGuffin.
"James, sometimes when you look for love, all you find is walrus toast."
The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]"Walrus toast" is in universe slang for something that is actively harmful to the person who has it.
The line is from a detective who found out the hero is unknowingly in a Dating Catwoman situation.
I can't let you hide from yourself anymore-have you ever actually taken your gloves off?
What rises must fall, what falls may rise again.This line is said by the villain who knows of the Hero's darker powers since birth and has been grooming him to unleash it all and destroy the earth. He says this when he's finally had enough with the Hero Holding Back the Phlebotinum. He then forces him to unleash it when he makes him a Dead Little Sister.

The hero's love interest has been infected by a disease that has no known cure. However, an inter-dimensional traveler comes to his aid, informing him that the technology required to cure her exists in the world he came from, and that the only way to reach that dimension requires collecting some MacGuffins. Most of the following story consists of travelling across the world and collecting the MacGuffins, and by the time the hero has finally obtained the last one, the girlfriend has barely any time left to live. The hero is prepared to send his girlfriend to the traveler's world to be cured, when the traveler reveals that the only way to connect their two worlds for even the briefest of moments involves a ritual that will permanently destroy the MacGuffins. Also, only a single person can be transported using this ritual. The hero quickly realizes that the traveler must have already used his world's trinkets to get to this world, and that sending his girlfriend away to be cured means that he will never see her again.
All that changes when this cat enters the equation.
