"I can't believe they'd just leave me like that. I mean, okay. They always talk about doing this kind of thing and then they go and do it. And then they laugh about it. And they watch as I get brutally hurt, and laugh about that too. A lot. "
— Red Mage, 8-Bit Theater
"I'm on your side you fucking idiots! How many of you do I have to kill before you understand that?! ...Do I look like an alien?! Am I green?! Do I have tentacles coming out of me?! ...I just wanna go home! Why is everyone trying to kill me?! I'm awesome! Are you all jealous?! ...This is the worst rescue operation in history!"
"You summoned me, Prince of Don. I am here. To join you? No. To demand your surrender."

"Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven? Behold now, the terrible vengeance... of the Forsaken! Death to the Scourge! And death to the living!"

David: After Joker’s capture, Dent’s talking to the press about Batman “saving his ass,” and then gets directed by Detective Ramirez to a car to take him home. This is the last time we’ll ever see Harvey Dent, White Knight of Gotham...I’m sure she’s done some pretty crappy things on the take, but this is really some next-level corruption.
Chris: Also, Dent’s last line: “I’ve got a date with a pretty upset girlfriend.” That’s the last line of an action movie. Dent clearly believes that this is over and done with.

"How could my own brothers believe that what transpired at the Temple Prime did not unfold exactly as I planned? Of course, I could not have planned for an ambush BY MY OWN FORCES!"
It is a very kingly, honourable, and frequent practice, when one prince desires the assistance of another, to secure him against an invasion, that the assistant, when he has driven out the invader, should seize on the dominions himself, and kill, imprison, or banish, the prince he came to relieve.

Finally, the day of reckoning came. Robert Baratheon marched on the capital after his victory at the Trident. But my father arrived first, with a whole Lannister army at his back, promising to defend the city against the rebels. I knew my father better than that. He's never been one to pick the losing side. I told the Mad King as much. I urged him to surrender peacefully. But the king didn't listen to me. He didn't listen to Varys who tried to warn him. But he did listen to Grand Maester Pycelle, that gray sunken cunt. "You can trust the Lannisters," he said, "the Lannisters have always been true friends of the crown." So we opened the gates and my father sacked the city.

Gen. Lee Oliver: Caesar on the cross, been a long time since I've seen the kind of work you've laid down today... A damn long time. And the screams of those Legion bastards as they kicked dirt running East... Like a choir of angels to my ears. Speaking of - that crazy light show you called down over the Fort, what the fuck was that, some kind of thumb from God you called down? Amazing, fucking amazing. Coudl use a hundred of you, just scatter you over the East like jacks, give those plumed fucks the what-for.
The Courier: Hold that thought, General. I wanted to introduce you to some friends.
Gen. Lee Oliver: And... uh... Well. These uh... These boys with you? Hello there, smiley...
(The rest of the Securitron Army rolls up behind Oliver and his retinue)
Gen. Lee Oliver: Guess it ain't no secret how you, uh... I say, can you ask them to put their weapons down? Was just reaching in my coat to give you a cigar...
The Courier: The Dam is won... for me. You and the Legion have both lost this day.
