To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne.
The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Our near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands.
There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A. troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.
If this proposal should be rejected one German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hours term.
All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well-known American humanity.
The German Commander.

Baldur: The tattooed man. Tracks show he now travels with a child. Where would they go next?
Mimir: Why would I know that?
Magni: You're the smartest man alive, aren't you?
Mimir: Smarter than all the dead ones, too.
Baldur: You help me, I help you. Tell me where they are, and I'll talk to Odin—
Mimir: Your father won't let me go, Baldur, and he won't let you kill me. You have nothing to offer me. So take your questions, take your threats, take these two worthless wankers, and piss off.

Meria: I will not fight you. Nor will I kneel to you. Dorne has no king. Tell your brother that.
Rhaenys: I shall. But we will come again, Princess, and next time we shall come with Fire and Blood!
Meria: Your words. Ours are Unbowed, Unbend, Unbroken. You may burn us, my lady, but you will not bend us, break us, or make us bow. This is Dorne, you are not wanted here. Return at your peril!

Riq IV: We'll be lenient if you renounce your Rick. What say you, Summer?
Summer: I say fuck you! My grandpa was my hero. You killed him because you were jealous of him — that's pretty obvious from the haircuts. So do what you want to me, but let my brother go. He already renounced Rick.

Summer: Grandpa, you're being stupid! Just surrender and our friends will give you mercy!
Rick: Kiss my ass, Summer! Your friends have no mercy! They're lame!

Gile: I asked you to come to me because—
Vald: I refuse.
Gile: I haven't told you what I want yet.
Vald: You cannot possibly be up to any good. I have no intentions of helping you with your plans.

Klaw: I told you -
T'Challa: That you will kill my mother? You will anyway. That you will destroy my kingdom? You would do that, too. It doesn't really matter what you do - I'm still going to kill you. So what's your leverage?
Ramonda: That's my son.
Klaw: You mean the one who just sentenced you to death?
Ramonda: No. The one who just sentenced you to death.

King Hadrian: (greeting the Theocracy's ambassador, who has just been dragged in by Space Marines) Ambassador Paul. Let me guess. You've come to apologize.
Paul: This treatment is abominable! A gross breach of diplomatic courtesy!
Hadrian: And so is launching a war. Speak your piece and leave.
Paul: Peace is the will of God, and the Theocracy has worked for peace since the One True Faith was brought into being by the Final Prophet. But peace has been threatened, again and again, by the actions of your illegitimate union of worlds. You have invaded our space, incited our populations to rebellion, and sought to control the spread of the One True Faith. These actions can no longer go unpunished.
I am ordered to offer you one last chance to submit yourselves before the Believers of the One True Faith. You must welcome us to your worlds, surrender your ships and industries to our custody, and prepare your people to embrace the One True Faith. Should you refuse, we will wage war until you are bowed in submission, ready to embrace God and take him into your hearts. There will be no further negotiation. It is submission or death.
Hadrian: You are correct on one point. There will be no negotiation.
You have mounted an unprovoked war against my people, commencing with a series of cowardly terrorist attacks that have left upwards of nine thousand civilians dead. Your... pathetic attempt to give us a declaration of war, too late for us to put our forces on alert, is only the icing on the cake. There will be no further negotiation — and no negotiated peace. The Commonwealth will fight until the Theocracy has been crushed, Ambassador, and it will be crushed.
Your people want freedom. We will give it to them. Your conquests want independence. We will give it to them. Your sons want the right to learn more than how to recite your prayers by rote. We will give it to them. Your wives and daughters want the right to make their own choices. We will give it to them. And the entire galaxy wants to sleep peacefully, without fearing conquest by you. We will give it to them.
I promise you nothing, but war to the knife. And the next time we meet, it will be when I take your surrender in the ruins of your homeworld.
Because we are a civilized people, we will allow you and your embassy to leave peacefully. It will no longer be necessary. (to the Marines) Get him out of my sight.

Mala: Should Kara Zor-L live, she will inevitably prove to be a hindrance to us. It is regrettable that she must die. But die she must. There is no need for battle. Our audience has left the stands. This show of combat pleased him, but it was most inefficient. Please. Let me do what is required, and I promise to make her death as quick as I possibly can. Your own will be even quicker, and as painless as possible. The decision is up to you.
Fury: You know what our answer is, big man. Come and get it.
Nuklon: Nope. Our answer is—go to hell!

Eleya: Breen commander, this is Captain Kanril Eleya of the Federation Starship Bajor. Release your prisoners immediately and surrender.
Ruul: Kanril Eleya. I have heard that name before, in intelligence briefings. Since you have apparently destroyed my ship, you will provide my men and I with a shuttle—
Eleya: Wrong answer.
Ruul: (to Tess, sounding surprised) She hung up on me.
Breen soldier: Dalsh Ruul! Transporter signatures! (cue Big Damn Heroes from Eleya and Bajor's assault team)

Gen. Wade raised a bullhorn to his lips. "Attention. You are approaching the border between Canada and the United States. Turn back and surrender, or face retaliation."
The Red Crusher laughed, swung his ball-mace in a circle, and said something in his native language. Both Battle and Wade understood him, and knew it was anything but an agreement to their terms. They had not expected it to be.

Grima seemed to be pondering their words. "Then you refuse to return what you have taken?"
"We refuse," Lucina said.
"Very well. I was hoping not to have to flex any...muscle..." Grima said, then fell silent.
Severa could feel the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. Then, a shockwave surged through her and Severa gasped. It felt like her body was being ripped apart at its seams, but her mind was being squeezed, dangerously close to bursting. The only thing she could hear was Lucina's scream, and then her panicked gasps.
"Is...is everyone all right?" Lucina asked. Severa opened her mouth, but all that came out was a pained moan.
"With the next blow, I will kill you." Grima chuckled. "The Gemstone and the Emblem. Now."
"Never!" Lucina gritted out.
"Still you resist me? Very well. Die, if you wish."
"We refuse," Lucina said.

General Grievous: Captain, your ship is disabled and boarded; your crew are defeated and dying at my hands. For your own sake, surrender this vessel to me—or I will kill every last Imperial here, and ship your heads back to your retreating fleet in garbage bags.
Imperial Captain: I'd die a million deaths before succumbing to the likes of you, Xenos scum! Your threats change nothing. Every man, woman, and child on this ship has been ready to die for the Emperor since the moment we were born. In victory and defeat, this is our destiny, and we will not shirk from it!
