The quote for This Index Is Expendable is too long, it being a rather long conversation.

Commander: Okay, let's see if I've got this right.... The kid's about to attack, and when he does, you want me to....
Mook: Surrender, sir.
Commander: Why would I do that?
Mook: Cuz sir, if we fight him, we're all gonna die.
Commander: What gave you that crazy idea?
Mook: Sir, I've checked around and no one aboard this ship has a name.
Commander: So what?
Mook: So it means we're goons! Faceless cannon fodder!
Commander: Bah! You have no proof of that!
Mook: Sir, in case you haven't noticed.... EVERYBODY ABOARD THIS SHIP IS WEARING A RED SHIRT!
Commander: Bah! Sheer coincidence!
Mook: YOU'RE LIVING IN DENIAL! YOU'RE GONNA WIPE US ALL OUT!
Commander: Bah! you're just cracking under the pressure, lad. Just relax. Here, let me show you something. It's a picture of my wife and kids! Ain't they something? They're the reason I'm here. I'm fighting for them. I ain't going to let them down.
[Beat]
Mook: Well, nice knowing you captain.
Episode 345 of Captain SNES

Maybe just the last part could work, or another quote entirely?

Mook: Sir, in case you haven't noticed.... EVERYBODY ABOARD THIS SHIP IS WEARING A RED SHIRT!
Commander: Bah! Sheer coincidence!
Mook: YOU'RE LIVING IN DENIAL! YOU'RE GONNA WIPE US ALL OUT!

Suggestions for ArchEnemy.Star Wars:

Darth Sidious: I have waited a long time for this moment, my little green friend. At last, the Jedi are no more.
Yoda: Not if anything to say about it, I have. At an end your rule is, and not short enough it was.

Darth Vader: I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now, I am the master.
Obi-Wan: Only a master of evil, Darth.

Rey: I know everything I need to know about you!
Kylo Ren: You do? Ah, you do. You have that look in your eyes. From the forest. When you called me a monster.
Rey: You are a monster.

Personally I'd probably go with the first one.

[up] I like the first one.

Do any of these work for ArchEnemy.Marvel Cinematic Universe:

Tony Stark: I get first crack at the big guy. Iron Man's what he's waiting for.
Vision: That's true, he hates you the most.

Also so I added this quote to ArchEnemy.Live Action Films:

"Oh, you. You just couldn't let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever."

Then I noticed that it was on Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object.

So if we keep it on the Arch Enemy one here is a replacement for Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object:

In 1979, an unstoppable force met an immovable object. Chuck Norris kicked Mr. T in the jaw. The result was the '80s.

Or replacements for ArchEnemy.Live Action Films:

"It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the archvillain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like you and me!"
Elijah Price, Unbreakable

"No, no, I'm not gonna kill him. We need each other. We define each other. We're... yin and yang, black and white."
David Allen Griffin, The Watcher

"So what now, Jack Sparrow? Are we to be two immortals locked in an epic battle until Judgment Day and trumpets sound?"

"All I want to do is bury Cocteau up to his neck in shit and let him think happy-happy thoughts forever."
Edgar Friendly on Dr. Raymond Cocteau, Demolition Man

"I been dreamin' about killin' you for forty years!"
Simon Phoenix to John Spartan, Demolition Man

Thoughts?

Ok I am sorry but I am just going to remove those Japanese quotes. If I keep waiting nothing will get done.

EDIT: Nevermind the Creamy Mami example. I dont know how to edit it without messing the page up entirely. I only want that unromanized Japanese part gone since the page shows the translation already.

[up] Apparently, someone was trying to be cute. I have those same issues with that quote. I haven't seen Fast Five in a while, but I'd like to suggest Hobbs' line about not letting Dominic and his team get into cars.

HoYay.X Men Film Series and HoYay.X Men First Class has the same quote:

"It is a little bit of a mini-tragedy that him and Magneto don't, you know, have sex and become married and become best friends."

So show about this for the Film Series page:

"If First Class was Erik's story and Days of Future Past is Charles' story, then Apocalypse will be both of their stories. The first movie was about Erik becoming empowered. That's the origin story of a man's power. Days of Future Past is about a guy who is a mess, masterminding the end of this massive movie. So they are both at their peak powers at the start of Apocalypse, so Apocalypse for me is the culmination of that three-act love story."
Simon Kinberg

Or if you still want McAvoy:

James McAvoy: It's that thing in a love story where you don't always like the person you're in love with, but you still love them. Charles and Erik always hated the way [the other] approached things. It's like, "Argh, he's always wanting to kill the humans! He's always going about the same old shit," and yet I just love the guy. I can't kill him, I don't want to mind-control him, I love him.
Michael Fassbender: That's right.

Okay the first one is swapped in.

Edit: [up]Wait did you mean keep the Simon or the first James one. Because if you meant the latter, I apologize and can change it back in.

Edit 2: [up] Okay in that case I added it back to HoYay.X Men Film Series and removed it from X-Men: First Class

There's a quote on Helicopter Parents that's basically just stating the trope name, and the succeeding lines actually seem to portray something of the opposite.

How is this quote for Imagined Innuendo?

Rachel: Ok, [Monica,] you're coming with me, and I also told them that if we're still here when they get off, then we'll go down to the cafeteria and get some Jello with them.
Joey: [In a suggestive tone] Yep. "There's always room for Jello..."
Rachel: Joey, how do you make that dirty?
Joey: Oh, it's easy. I can do it with anything, watch! [Same suggestive tone] "Grandma's chicken salad..."

[up] [tup] to the DW and Rockwell quotes


I suggested this as a replacement for Good Stepmother a while ago, but it got buried and I never got around to bumping it:

Hey I might not really be your mother
That don't mean that I don't really love ya
And even though I married your father
That's not the only reason I'm here for ya

NightmareFuel.Adventure Time has two quotes. I believe the top one has been around for longer.

The Lich quote is also used for the caption on Characters.Adventure Time The Lich, if that makes a difference.
