History Quotes / EvilGloating

[[AvertedTrope So now I record everything in advance]]. It's fun sitting in the studio, blathering on without time pressure. I make sure I cover all the pertinent information, and edit out slips of the tongue. I used to add background music, but [[RealityEnsues I got into copyright trouble]]. Seriously. I load all my soliloquys to Website/YouTube once the dust settles, but if I put in soundtracks, BMI and ASCAP get the video yanked. Cheeky bastards. Not coincidentally, BMI and ASCAP are run by [[SupernaturalElite Darkling]] shitheads. (Note to self: [[EvilIsPetty fill their headquarters with anthrax]].)

->'''[[CorruptPolitician Alderman Richard Hughes]]:''' I'm Richard Hughes. [[AffablyEvil It's a pleasure to meet the man who handed me the election]]. (''offers his hand, but the Playa [[HandshakeRefusal refuses it]]'') No need to be modest, I'm serious. There's no way I could have beaten Marshall Winslow, God rest his soul. But you made the impossible happen, and for that, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero I can't thank you enough]]. I mean, had Winslow been the only man killed, attention would definitely have been cast on me, but after that [[StuffBlowingUp fireworks display]] you pulled at his funeral, [[FalseFlagOperation it's become abundantly clear these horrible crimes were committed]] by the [[NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters Third Street Saints]]. While before, people were criticizing my Saint's Row urban renewal plan, it is now being [[VillainWithGoodPublicity lauded]]. See, until you came along, I was [[KillThePoor displacing poor people]]. Now I'm destroying a hotbed of gang activity. What can I say? The public is fickle... [[NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine Champagne]]? (''the Playa refuses the champagne'') As you get older, you quickly learn that [[ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInTheWorld there are only two types of people in the world]]. [[PoliticallyCorrectVillain Race, money, gender, none of this matters]]. At the end of the day, [[SocialDarwinist you're either a winner or a loser]]. Now the [[BlatantLies sad truth]] about our situation is that, in order for me to be a winner, I have to level your neighbourhood and SaltTheEarth. Hold on for a moment. [[TheDragon Steven]], could you come in here? Where was I? Oh, yes, salting the earth. I suppose [[EveryManHasHisPrice I could try and pay you off]], but really, what's the point? You'd just say [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules no]], or in your case, stand there [[DeathGlare looking intimidating]], and we'd be right back where we started. So I figured I'd cut the middle man and get right to the point.\\

->'''Davros:''' Does it worry you, Doctor? That with it, I will transform Skaro's sun into a source of unimaginable power!? And with that power at my disposal, The Daleks shall sweep away Gallifrey and it's impotent corps of Time Lords! '''THE DALEKS SHALL BECOME LORDS OF TIME! WE SHALL BECOME ALL--'''
->'''The Doctor:''' '''[[CopycatMockery —POWERFUL!? CRUSH THE LESSER RACES!? CONQUER THE GALAXY!? UNIMAGINABLE POWER!?]] [[MemeticMutation UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING!]] [[AndTheRest ET CETERA, ET CETERA!]]'''

->''[[LampshadeHanging Ooh! I think I gloated so hard I pulled a muscle!]]''

-> It looked like Lord Voldemort had the upper hand. Hermione knew this, because the moment he did, he had started gloating again. That man, whether he [[ItMakesSenseInContext be a monkey or a necklace or a hat]], was obviously incapable of just shutting up — no matter what was at stake. She didn't even try to listen to what he was saying, only catching phrases like 'absolute power', 'bow to me', and 'unlimited rice pudding is mine!'. (…Well, she might have been imagining that last one.)

'''Discord''': "Oh, I'm exactly where I want to be – here, in the human world. Can you imagine? A separate world, filled with millions of humans, and it's been right next door all along. You're really quite a lot of fun, you humans. And just look at how amazing this world is! Leave you alone for a couple thousand years and you accomplish all of this."\\

'''Discord''': "From the looks of things, you've all made quite enough chaos without my help. We'll see about that. Well, I didn't plan to visit for long. Just long enough to drop in and leave you with something. You see, there's a whole world of humans out there waiting for me, and let's just say you’ll be happier if you're not one of them. Do you realize that there are ''billions'' of you in this world? Not thousands, not even millions. I could find millions of you in just one city. And it's not too far from here, is it? Like I said, Heartstrings – my sincerest thanks for your help."

'''Mr. Incredible:''' (snickering) He starts monologuing?\\

'''Frozone:''' Yammering! [[BondVillainStupidity I mean, the guy has me on a platter,]] and he ''won't'' shut up!

'''Mr. Incredible:''' He starts monologuing? ''(chuckles)''\\

'''Frozone:''' He starts like, this prepared speech about how "feeble" I am compared to him, how ''(rolls eyes)'' "inevitable" my defeat is, how ''(makes a dramatic hand gesture)'' "The ''world!'' ''Will soon!'' Be ''his!''" Yadda yadda yadda...\\

'''Plagg:''' So... We're evil now, huh?\\

->'''Reign: "Why am I telling you all this, Kara Zor-El? Because I want you to know... who it is that kills you today."\\

'''Taren Capel:''' Oh no, Doctor. I’m going to burn out your brain. Very, very slowly.

->'''Piter deVries:''' Perhaps [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim we should get on with it then?]]
->'''Baron Harkonnen:''' Get on with it? ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS-IS-KANLY]], Piter! Vendetta!'' And I am going to savour every minute of it. My family has hated the Atreides for generations. They have been the sand in our eyes, the ''stink'' at our meals. These arrogant Atreides, ''always'' standing in our way. I want Leto to appreciate the ''beauty'', of what I have done to him. I want him to know that [[SuddenlyShouting I, BARON VLADIMIR HARKONNEN]], am the instrument of his family's demise, the extinction of House Atreides, and the ascendance ''(MilkingTheGiantCow)'' of House Harkonnen.

->'''Discord''': “Enjoying your walk, Heartstrings? You’re getting along quite well on just two legs, I see. Like any other human. You really are one of them, aren’t you? I just wanted to stop by and offer my most sincere gratitude. If it weren’t for you, ''Heartstrings'', I never would have found this place. And to imagine, you were right there in Ponyville the entire time! If I had known there were humans left, I wouldn’t have wasted my time there. No, humans are far more fun. I’m rather fond of humans myself. I suppose we have that much in common, you and me. All that technology, right? And their hands that they use it with?”\\
'''Lyra''': “W-where are you?”\\
'''Discord''': “Oh, I'm exactly where I want to be – here, in the human world. Can you imagine? A separate world, filled with millions of humans, and it’s been right next door all along. You’re really quite a lot of fun, you humans. And just look at how amazing this world is! Leave you alone for a couple thousand years and you accomplish all of this.”\\
'''Lyra''': “How did you get here? How did you find me? What are you ''doing''?”\\
'''Discord''': “I think you know ''exactly'' what I’m planning. You see, I’ve been terribly bored, like you couldn’t even imagine. I’ve been in need of some good old-fashioned chaos. Or – my mistake – the humans here have all ''new'' ways to create chaos! I do look forward to this, I really mean that.”\\
'''Lyra''': “There’s more to humans than that. I’ve been studying them – us. We’re better than that.”\\
'''Discord''': “From the looks of things, you’ve all made quite enough chaos without my help. We’ll see about that. Well, I didn’t plan to visit for long. Just long enough to drop in and leave you with something. You see, there’s a whole world of humans out there waiting for me, and let’s just say you’ll be happier if you’re not one of them.
