This thread is for general discussion of page quotes, whether to change, move or remove them.
Unused quotes should be put on a Quotes Wiki page (just replace the namespace in the URL of the wiki page you are making a quotes page for with Quotes/) or, if they don't have an article, on Quotes Looking for an Article.
Image captions are discussed elsewhere and have their own thread
in the Image Pickin' forum.

I don't know if the "Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" is another page quote, but I think it would work just fine as one.

I think 'squeeee' is a very much in-context quote. Some things that make some people squee make other people go 'interesting, but not my thing'. 
(I squee over new tech advances.)
Contract on the Hitman and He Knows Too Much have the same quote.
Contract on the Hitman and He Knows Too Much, keep it on the former. It isn't as direct on the latter.

There's a lot of good quotes in the Quotes page. I like the Game Of Thrones.
I'm bothered by the quote on Embarrassing but Empowering Outfit. I think it would fit better with Rainbow Pimp Gear (in fact, I thought it was already there).
If you still want a quote for Embarrassing but Empowering Outfit, there's always the one in the Webcomic section that would fit better:
KillItWithFire: Reminds me of this one group I ran with. The barbarian in our group found, and I quote: "a pink frilly tu-tu of Strength +6", and he wore it with pride for the rest of the campaign.

That's perfect for Embarrassing but Empowering Outfit. Make it so.

Which of Toonami's two page quotes should stay on the page, and which one should move to Quotes.Toonami?

I personally like the first one better.
I don't see how the quote on Bifauxnen has much of anything to do with the page.
Braggart Boss has two quotes (from the same character, no less). The second one is more fitting in my opinion.
I dunno, for me the first looks better.

Unsettling Gender-Reveal has a spoilered quote. I think the first quote from the tab is clear and concise enough for a decent replacement. Thoughts?
"In distress", my ass.
Bifauxnen: It doesn't. The one on the quotes tab doesn't seem like it does, either, but is more suited to Unsettling Gender-Reveal (more on that in a minute).
Braggart Boss: I think the second one is better at emphasizing the "braggart" part of the trope name. The first quote seems more like it's about him being a Big Ham, with the Punctuation For Emphasis.
Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Minus the pothole, I agree that the first quote on the quotes tab gets across the basic trope concept with a minimum of fuss.

Moved the first quote of Braggart Boss. For some reason, there was a commnented out note to leave the multiple quotes be because "it works", but I don't think there's been an official discussion or consensus for it, so I changed it accordingly.
I removed the blue links from the remaining quote per site policy. Unfortunately, the admittedly funny text after the quote was no longer really appropriate without the pot hole, so I removed that text as well.
Also, this is off-topic, but is that quote about "expository banter" and "ladies who dress like men" actually from FFV, or is it from a parody? It seems awfully slapsticky and lampshady to be an actual quote from the game. But I am not familiar with FFV.

Attract Mode 's 2nd quote can go,in my opinion.
New theme music also a box
Agreed. It's an example, but it's not particularly illustrative. The first quote is a very illustrative example, so it's got the whole package.
Uh, what about The Scottish Trope? The big problem I see with the quote on there is that it's got a gag that never works above the example line.
What do you mean? Since the word Macbeth has been de-spoilered, it seems to make sense. I mean, a more illustrative quote might work... But I think it'd be hard to find a very illustrative quote for a trope that by definition involves not saying something. It also doesn't include any Pot Holes that (I think) violate the page quote/blue link rule.
So should I move the Bifauxnen quote to the quotes page?

On the topic of Cumberbatch, I thought of this recent comment from Kiera Knightley on his fans:
""It's terrifying..."I mean, they're lovely. I feel terrified saying they're terrifying cause they might come after me. So… yes, it's amazing! They're very artistic! They paint pictures of him. You go to premieres and there's these amazing paintings of Ben looking Ben-like… [They're] a very hysterical, artistic type."
