'''Shizuku''': F-Famous? But, that's great! Maybe you have to stay a bit and somehow...\\
'''Kaori''': ''Somehow'', I made it up until now. It's a miracle I survived to high school.\\
'''Shizuku''': Gh... But...\\
'''Kaori''': Shizuku. There are no miracles left for me. This is it for me.

->'''Ria''': The bounty placed upon his head by Norsburg's clergy was quite high. Surely... it would be better for the Hunter to die on an [[KnightErrant errant knight's]] blade.\\

'''Ria''': ...

'''Donald''': BECAUSE I'VE CROSSED THAT LINE BEFORE!

->'''Harry''': After I killed Justin and got my head together at Ebenezar's place, I promised myself something. I promised that I would live my life on my own terms.

->'''[[ShadowArchetype Shadow Harry]]''': Don't you want to survive?
->'''Harry''': Of course I do. But some things are more important than survival.
->'''Shadow Harry''': Yeah. Like the people who are going to get killed when you die and don't stop Kemmler's disciples.

->'''Shadow Harry''': [[DoomedMoralVictor Take the high road if you want to]]. Choose to [[DealWithTheDevil walk away from this strength]] in the name of principle. But [[DeconstructedTrope after your noble death]], everyone you no longer protect, everyone who might one day have come to you for help, everyone who is killed in the aftermath of the Darkhallow - ''every'' life you might have protected in the future will be on your head.

->'''The Doctor''': The Daleks have ''failed!'' Why don't you finish the job, and make the Daleks extinct? Rid the universe of your filth! WHY DON'T YOU JUST ''DIE?!''\\

'''Lou''': You mean the victim?\\
'''Peggy''': No, that's not fair! 'Cause I'm a victim too! Was a victim first, before him.\\
'''Lou''': Victim of what?\\
'''Peggy''': You wouldn't understand. You're a man. It's a lie, okay? That you can do it all. Be a wife and a mother and this self-made career woman, like there's 37 hours in a day. And then, when you can't, they say it's you. "You're faulty," like-- like-- like you're inferior somehow. And... like-- like, if you could just get your act together until you're half mad with--\\
'''Lou''': People are dead, Peggy.\\

->'''Grover''': Listen, I'm trying to sell you a toothbrush, I'm doing the best I can, and I would appreciate it if you would not interrupt me. Now I have to start all over again.\\

'''Kermit''': [[SuddenlyShouting GROVER, I DON'T WANT TO BUY A TOOTHBRUSH!!!]]\\

'''Grover''': I'm trying to help you! I'm just trying! I'm just trying to be a salesman.\\
'''Kermit''': I've been trying to tell you all along that I don't want to buy a toothbrush!\\

'''Kermit''': I don't want a toothbrush!\\

'''Grover''':........ you do not have any teeth.\\
'''Kermit''': I told you that.

->'''Cho Sang-woo''': Come on! Gi-hun! [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Your life is so damn pathetic, and here's why.]] It's because you always gotta open your mouth and ask something idiotic. Because you're a nosy-ass idiot who's too slow to keep it shut. Someone who always has to get into trouble but somehow can't tell he's in it.
->'''Seong Gi-hun''': Okay. That's right. That's how I got caught in all this. Because I was slow, crazy incompetent. Just a dimwit who [[BasementDweller lives off his mother]], [[NotSoDifferentRemark but you're with me in this place. Isn't that interesting?]] [[BrokenAce Why is that? Ssangmun-dong's golden child, the genius Cho Sang-woo, who went to SNU was here?]] Rolling around this shithole, slumming with us simpletons, huh? Is it my fault that you're here?

->'''Nog''': It's not just a whim. I'm serious about joining Starfleet.\\
'''Sisko''': I don't have time for this, Nog. Whatever little scheme you had, you can forget it. You're not getting that letter.\\
'''Nog''': It's not a joke or a scheme. I want to join Starfleet. I want it more than I've ever wanted anything in my life.\\
'''Sisko''': You're a [[ProudMerchantRace Ferengi]]. Why would you want to be in Starfleet? Where's the profit in it?\\
'''Nog''': I don't care about profit!\\
'''Sisko''': Then what do you care about? Come on, Nog, tell me! Why is it so damned important for you to get into Starfleet? Why are you doing this?\\
'''Nog''': ''Because I don't want to end up like my father!''

->'''Odo''': Well, I guess you're not as successful a businessman as you think you are.\\
'''Quark''': Which means you spent the last ten years of your life trying to catch a nobody -– with little success, I might add. So you tell me, which one of us is the bigger failure?

->'''Commander Shepard''': If you need this much soul-searching to get over it, maybe the genophage was wrong. \\
'''Mordin Solus''': ''Had'' to be done. Rachni Wars, Krogan Rebellions all pointed to Krogan aggression. So many simulations. Effects of Krogan population increase. ''All'' pointed to war, extinction. Geno'''phage''' or geno'''cide'''. Save galaxy from Krogan. Save Krogan from galaxy!\\
'''Commander Shepard''': Look at the dead woman, Mordin. It doesn't look like you saved her.

'''Kratos''': ...come.\\
''(Turns to leave).''

->'''Tara''': I'm so sick of all this bullshit. Maybe I'd just be better off without (Maddie)...\\
'''Morgan''': '''[[SuddenlyShouting TARA]]'''. Stop. Just stop. You have no idea what you're talking about. You don't want Maddie to leave the show, but you're refusing to listen to her when she talks about coming back. You don't want to lose your friendship, but you're freezing her out when she tries to make connections again. I love your show. You know I do. But there are more important things in your life than talking about Bigfoot in front of a camera.\\
'''Tara''': ''(narrating)'' Holy shit. What the hell was that? She just shot through my bullshit like some kinda forest-dwelling therapist. How am I supposed to respond to that? All I can do is sit back down on the bed and let it wash over me.

'''Principal Skinner''': "Do you know why I care so much about my burgers superintendent? Why I take such care preparing each and every one? It's an interesting story really. [[MythologyGag You know I fought in Vietnam; bled for this God forsaken country.]] There were days when I couldn't tell my nightmares From reality. [[NightmareFuel The smell of burning flesh and the sight of my best friends getting blown up by landmines.]] You can't imagine what that kind of trauma does to a person. But maybe that's why I take such pride in my food superintendent. It's one thing in this crazy world that I can control. So if I want to call these hamburgers "steamed hams" then that's what I'll [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] do."

->'''Catra''': I ''told'' you not to come back! But you just love feeling like a hero, don't you?\\
'''Adora''': You'd rather I left you there to die?!\\
'''Catra''': ''WHAT DO YOU CARE?!'' I know you all hate me!\\
'''Adora''': ''I never hated you!''\\
'''Catra''': ...Then you're even dumber than I thought. Just... leave me alone.

'''Elastigirl:''' Then what? What is it?\\
'''Mr. Incredible:''' I'm not...\\
'''Elastigirl:''' Not what?\\
'''Mr. Incredible:''' I-I'm not strong enough.\\
'''Elastigirl:''' Strong enough. And this will make you stronger?\\
'''Mr. Incredible:''' Yes--NO!!\\
'''Elastigirl:''' That's what this is? Some sort of workout!?\\
'''Mr. Incredible:''' I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN!!!!! ''[a {{beat}}; he slumps]'' I can't. Not again. I'm not...strong enough.\\

->'''Alphonse''': Scar! You say that you believe alchemists have defied God. Isn't that hypocritical? You use alchemy just like we do!\\

'''Alphonse''': That's a lie! You're using the name of your god to justify murder. Revenge is all you care about! When you killed Shou Tucker and Nina, I suppose you believe you were doing god's work then too!?\\
'''Scar''': Interesting... you two saw that abomination as well, did you? Alchemy created that tragic creature. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion So that's the science you would spend your lives following!?]] ''[The Elric brothers are struck silent as Edward recalls Shou Tucker's NotSoDifferentRemark]'' That chimera was made because a man thought he could create when creation is the province of God alone.\\
'''Edward''': Maybe you're right. But why did you have to kill her!? You stole what little life she had left!\\
'''Scar''': Foolish as you are, you must still have known that chimera could never have returned to her human state. It would have lived out its life as a laboratory specimen, treated as a test subject, but never again as a human being.\\

'''Alphonse''': (He's right... even then we knew that Nina would be sent off to live in a laboratory. We knew full well what would happen to her.)\\
'''Edward''': (We didn't want to think about it... we knew there was no hope.)\\
'''Alphonse''': (So we did nothing...)\\
'''Edward''': (Nothing...)
