20To be a Character Catchphrase, the phrase must be ''repeated multiple times'' in an identifiable way -- what is simply the most memorable line of a movie is not a Character Catchphrase unless it is repeated by the same in-universe character. When it's the ''audience'' that adopts a character's line as a Catchphrase, it's a MemeticMutation. Conversely, when several different characters [[InvertedTrope utter the same phrase at (or about) one particular character]], that character becomes a PhraseCatcher.

22If the character has a BadassCreed, it will probably double as a Catchphrase. BeamMeUpScotty is a false or oft-misquoted Catchphrase. Compare ArcWords, OneLiner, OtherStockPhrases, WordPower. Contrast with AuthorCatchphrase, which is when a phrase is recycled across unrelated works by the same author/actor/creator.
