OK, so this for The Dragon:
and this for The Executioner, right?
How about this?
Now the witch is back, and there's Hell to pay!

There's nothing wrong with the existing quote. It's fine to just put it in the Quotes page.
That doesn't sound at all wicked out of context.
EDIT: You changed it since I was writing this. That one's fine.
Can I make a small adjustment to Defiant Stone Throw? I dislike stage directions in quotes, and I don't think that first one is particularly needed.
Old German Man: [slowly stands up] Not to men like you.
Loki: There are no men like me.
Old German Man: There are always men like you.

For “The Reason You Suck” Speech, maybe cut it down to the last two sentences?
There's no reason to replace the current quote. Just put it on the quotes page.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallFor Spaceship Slingshot Stunt:
Of what was once a neutron star
And use her gravity to whip us
Into dark galactic rifts
Regarding Wicked Witch, this one from the Quotes tab might work:
Dr. Frank Mandel: They are malefic, negative and destructive. Their knowledge of the art of the occult gives them tremendous powers. They can change the course of events and people's lives, through harm. You don't believe me? Their goal is to accumulate great personal wealth. It can only be achieved by injury to others. They can cause suffering, sickness, and even the death of those who for whatever reason offended them.
If length is an issue, it could be shortened a little like so-
Alright, changed.
Next order of business: I think that while the quote on Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous does a perfectly adequate job of communicating the "Sexually Ambiguous" part, it does not communicate the "Otherworldly" part. The character being discusses is, I guess, some sort of ghost or demon, but the quote does nothing to indicate that.
I think that this quote from the example sections does a better job of getting both parts across:

Decoy Getaway, Stunt Double, and Trapped the Wrong Target all have the same quote from Spaceballs:
For Stunt Double, I recommend this quote from The Fall Guy (2024):
Not sure which trope should keep the Spaceballs quote. I lean towards Decoy Getaway, since that trope is about a look-alike, which ideally is what a stunt double is.
Done! For Decoy Getaway, would this work:
Louis XVI: Perhaps you're right. But who would sit on my throne in my absence?
Count DeMonet: We'll find a double and put him on the throne.
Louis XVI: Ah, a double in case of trouble! I like it!

@ Theriocephalus: I think the current is fine. The fact that they're talking about Gozer choosing to be whatever it wants adds a degree of mysticism. Plus, I find it snappier and simpler than the suggestion.

I've got a quote for “The Reason You Suck” Speech. Is this acceptable?
Edit:
Thanks.

Sometimes the risk is worth taking before the fall.
