Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said "Good-bye!" and you were like (deeper voice) "No way!" (normal voice) and then I was all, "We pretended we were going to murder you!" That was great.
Throw yourself into the barbs.
Player: "Hell no." *jumps over barbs*
How disappointing.

"Oh, come now, we had fun! And alerting you to every other trap was more than fair!"

"Are you listening? Good. From now on, when I talk, listen! And follow my instructions. Play stupid, play clever, make the mistake of saying "no"? That collar on your neck'll go off and take your head with it."
"Raiden, turn the game console off right now! The mission is a failure! Cut the power right now!"

"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!"

Proper story’s supposed to start at the beginning.
It’s so simple with this one.
Now here’s a Kid whose whole world’s all right, snoozing there on a rock in the sky.
He wakes up… I’m just fooling.
He sees what’s left of the Rippling Walls. Years of work, undone in an instant.
He sees what’s left of Pyth the Bull.
The Gods... they’re all undone.
He sees what’s left of his lifelong friend.
His friend... he’s come undone too.
He sees. What’s left. Undone.

"There were over five thousand people alive in this city, the day before you arrived. How many are alive today, I wonder? How many will be alive tomorrow? I thought my duty was to protect this city from the storm. I was wrong. I have to protect it from you."
— John Konrad, Spec Ops: The Line
"Really? I was in the middle of something! Do you have zero consideration for others? Are you that convinced that I want something bad to happen to you? Why, I don't know how to convince you of this, but I really do want to help you, to show you something beautiful. Let me prove that I'm on your side. Give me a chance."
— Narrator, The Stanley Parable
"Alert! Alert! Evil Martian flangoes have invaded supermarkets across the planet. They have come to steal Earth's ammonia."

Remember when you found your first spinning kill blade? We were so young back then. Not that it matters. Nobody will ever make it to the other side. Can you see me waving?
It's probably best to skip this area and never come back. Nobody will even notice.
