The Best Quotes from your Characters?

Sita: Macey! Don't worry! We've come to save you! Wait, why are you eating a plate of sausages and mash?

Macey (To the reader): I should eat more. It keeps me stable I guess.

Cameron: I've been many places in this universe but I don't think I've ever met anyone as dumb as you.

Samuel: You think you've beaten me just because you got me on the ground? You're probably right but that won't stop me from getting back up.

Ali: I didn't mean to burn down to foster home… it kind of just happened.

A-Blade: And now I have my best friend and a bunch of idiots to deal with

Tristan: "Since I don't have you Jason, I'll make you succumb to me."

Jason: "Why are you doing this!? Why me! Oh God- You made me kill her!"

Xiu: I would stay away from the Kates twins, once they see a new hottie…Another fan club is in motion."

Ruby & Lucy Kates: "Do you ever imagine what Tristan is thinking about? He's just staring down Jason for three minutes now. Sexual tension?"

Johnny: "Sorry, I only speak non-homophobic? Can you repeat that in queer?"

Stardew: What? Is some ‘crucial human element’ lost? I told you both, I am not going to be your friend, I am going to be your mentor. I am not human, do not treat me like one. I am competent in my field, which is action, and if you want to do it, go off without me, but if you want me back, by the Tree you’ll have a trek, and even then if you find me, I will not be ready to forgive you. Do you see the way I burn? I am part fae, which is akin to feeling the power of the raging elements through you, and now I dare you: choose for yourself your next path. I will not tell you your business, so do not tell me mine.

(i'm probably using this all wrong, because I'm literally putting a monologue here. The quotes don't fit together without the context. the quotes will be in italics.)

(context: A character is going through a glitched/corrupted version of Cinderella. The character speaking is the Step-Mother. My first attempt at writing a redeemable villain. This is all on a stage.)

LADY ROSEWARN: Is it so hard to believe that I hate seeing my home become a scattered mess?

You have no idea what it is like to lead your family to a miserable end time and time. It makes me sick, telling this story over and over, again and again, being the only character with any recollection; Being forced to abuse and torture; Crying yourself to sleep because you’re the monster and then wake up the next morning because the show must go on!

I have done things no mother should do. I’ve been forced to beat my own stepdaughter, to disfigure my own daughters, for CENTURIES.

We had a life before this story, did you know that? I loved Ella as if she was my own. Yes, I had married her father for his money and land, but I never intended to harm the innocent little girl that offered me flowers when I arrived each day. I thought of her as my own daughter. I treated her well. Isabella taught her how to sew. Mariella taught her how to sing.

And then those Grimm brothers came and rewrote our story.

One day we reached The End and the story didn’t begin anew. So we made our own chapter. I fixed my relationship with Ella, despite all that I’ve done to her.

And then we reset. Every year, we had only one reset when your company came in. And for fifty years, I managed to feel better about my sins. I felt like a real mother. There was no reset for years. But the story began again. Things were slightly different. Background characters weren’t showing up on time.

I had to return to the story. Return to being a cruel, twisted, hideous mess that calls itself human. I had to harm Ella, disfigure my daughters…There came a point where… my girls, they… They didn’t change back. We were back at the beginning and their eyes were… I saw the tears of blood dripping from their sockets and.. The story went on as normal. And it only got worse. The resets continued, but something broke. Each reset resulted in more and more corruption. I am the only one now that is mostly free from glitching.

So, now I ask you to fix my story. Give us the happy ending we deserve. At least. the ending that Ella deserves.

Cello, who never realised that manipulative behaviour doesn't make you a good person:
"What would you have me do? Not manipulate people to gain power?" scoffed Cello. "Would you have me let people make their own mistakes and potentially destroy themselves? Absolutely not."

Conversation between two old multi-dimensional time travelers. Rick's from an alternate world where the feminist movement ended in such a extreme split that it's basically men v. women now. Elise is a WW2 bomber, and a war hero.
"Don't you forget why humanity got as far as they did! Men! We did it all!" Rick practically shouted.
"Yes, yes, Man Maketh Fire and all that," Elise replied tartly. "But Woman Maketh Fire Under Man's Hiney if he doesn't stop making sweeping statements that exclude women from world history."

My favorite character, Dakota, in everyday life:
"You thinkin' of picking a fight?" Dakota gave a laugh, then abruptly stopped, all humor gone from their face. "Just. Don't."
"What you donna do, beat me up?" egged on Tam. Dakota shook their head.
"Nope."
"…Then what?" asked Tam, slightly deflated.
"I'm going to ignore you until you give up. And then I'm not going to notice you leaving, because I'm not going to notice you're here in the first place."

One of my favorite scenes between one of my main ruthless antagonist who is wounded severely and the smol young woman who finds him and tries to help him even though he threatens to kill her.

Him: "If you had any brains, you'd leave right now."
Her: "… Well, I guess I don't have any brains then, do I? But I do have a heart, so I'm not leaving you here to die."
Him: "You don't know what kind of man you're dealing with."
Her: "The injured kind."

Melaine: “Hey don’t worry about it seley.”
Selena: “I told you not to call me that Melaine, it’s very stupid.”
Melaine, laughing: “I can do what I want, I’m the oldest,”
Before everything happened

Some random moments of my dumbass characters pretending to be powerful and raw. (Hint: none of them are. At all.)

“I am not an anarchist, but my blood runs close to chaos and turmoil fills my lungs. I carry disarray upon my shoulders, shedding discord in my wake.”

“Go on, hide your sins behind a veil of smiles. You can only eat so many of your errors.”

“You telling me I cannot is like daring the sun not to scorch your unprotected flesh. I will burn your nay-saying to the ground along with the ruins of the dreams you’ve crushed before.”

“This bloodline ends with me. A million year cycle will be broken by my powers, and mine alone. I will be the last of my line, and they will speak of me forever.”

“My body is a temple only I am allowed to worship. Your opinions are laughable in the face of God.”

Ivan: "We can't help everyone. But everyone can help someone."
Claude: "Alright, Socrates, relax. I don't need to hear a whole philosophy lecture at 9 AM."
Ivan: "Bastard. Your mother doesn't love you."

Captain Ramsey trying his drill sergeant impression right before a battle against monsters:

“HEY, TURD FARMERS! I HOPE YOU’RE HAVING A GREAT F(bleep)KING DAY, BUT PLEASE DON’T TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT CUZ YOU HAVE A PRETTY F(bleep)KING SERIOUS JOB AHEAD OF YOU. BEFORE Y’ALL BAIL AND GO OUT THERE FIGHTING LIKE IDIOTS I HAVE A FEW SOMEWHAT HELPFUL TIPS. TIP NUMBER ONE: DON’T BE THAT ONE DRAMATIC A-HOLE THAT TRIES TO BE A DAMN HERO BECAUSE THE SERAPHIM WILL TARGET HEROES VERY VERY VERY QUICKLY, AND YOU WILL FIND ALL OF YOUR LIMBS TORN OFF WITHIN THE NEXT THREE SECONDS AFTER DECIDING TO BE A HERO. KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR ASS AND YOUR ASS ONLY. TIP LETTER TWO: SAVE EVERY DAMN AMP YOU HAVE FOR THE FINAL BOSS OR WHATEVER THE HECK THAT NERD IS BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE EVERYTHING YOU BOYS GOT TO SMASH HIS FACE INTO OBLIVION. TIP NUMBER C: DO NOT FEED THE SERAPHIM YOUR ARMS BECAUSE… Y’KNOW, THAT’S JUST DUMB. THEY’LL JUST, UH, THEY’LL JUST MURDER THE F(bleep)K OUT OF YOU AND YOUR BODY WON’T LOOK LIKE A PERSON AND IT’S JUST GROSS. ALSO: YOU MAY BE WONDERING, “HOW MANY SWORDS SHOULD I TAKE WITH ME!?” OR “HOW LONG SHOULD I SCREAM AT A TIME?” ANSWER: YES.”

Soldier: “… Did you get any of that?”
Other soldier: “Naw, bro, I got none o’ that.”
Other other soldier: “Dude, you scream too much.”
Other other other soldier: “Like, none of that helped. We been doin’ this for a bit, man.”
Ramsey: “F**K THIS CREW, I HOPE YOU ALL DIE.”
