Line 16:
* Close the gates!
* He's getting away!
* I'm [[Surrounded Byby Idiots|surrounded by imbeciles]]!
* Must I do everything myself?
* [[You Fool!|Fools!]]
 
'''Seize them!'''
Line 27:
 
* [[Robin Hood]]
* [[The Scarlet Pimpernel (Filmfilm)|The Scarlet Pimpernel]]
* [[History of the World Part One]]: "Ah, seize this!"
* ''[[Mortal Kombat (Filmfilm)|Mortal Kombat]]'': Shang Tsung tries this when the heroes have infiltrated the Black Tower to rescue Sonya under the guise of the brown-robed monks. But Princess Kitana, who is also among them, stops them in their tracks with a "STAY WHERE YOU ARE!" before denouncing the [[Big Bad]] for trying to "interfere with the Tournament" and win it by treachery.
* The modern version was uttered in ''Tommy Boy'' by Zalinski: "Don't let him leave the premesis, Marty." This was preceded by the far more middle class "GET HIM!", said by Tommy.
* The Disney version of ''[[Robin Hood]]''.
* The Wicked Witch of the West in ''[[The Wizard of Oz (Filmfilm)|The Wizard of Oz]]'', in the castle as the Scarecrow, [[Cowardly Lion]] and Tin Man escape with Dorothy and Toto.
* Played for laughs in ''[[¡Three Amigos! (Film)|Three Amigos]]'' by Steve Martin, when surrounded by the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Mooks]].
* ''[[Bionicle]]: Legends of Metru Nui''
 
== Literature ==
 
* ''[[Animorphs (Literature)|Animorphs]]'': Visser Three says this all the time.
* In ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Guards Guards|Guards Guards]]'', the Palace guard is at one point to seize Vimes. [[Genre Savvy]] as they are, they [[Mook Chivalry|question the wisdom]] of [[Conservation of Ninjutsu|attacking a lone person]], who might even start swinging on the chandelier.
** In another book Rincewind has had so many variations on this phrase that he muses (while running) that his nickname is "Don't let him get away!".
* In the Star Trek novel ''How Much for Just the Planet?'' the evil queen says "Seize them! Oh, I do love saying that! Seize them again!"
Line 47:
 
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Steel Sky"
* ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]''. John Crichton is infiltrating a Peacekeeper base [[Dressing Asas the Enemy|disguised as an officer]]. It's later revealed that Scorpius can see heat, and this vision showed that Crichton wasn't even the right species.
{{quote| [[Big Bad]] Scorpius: Guards, that man is an impostor. Seize him.}}
** An interesting example, since this trope is usually an indicator of [[Incoming Ham]], yet Scorpius delivers the line with an utterly flat affect.
Line 57:
== Radio ==
 
* From the [[The HitchhikersHitchhiker's Guide to Thethe Galaxy (Radioradio series)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]] radio series:
{{quote| '''Hig Hurtenflirst:''' ''(to foot warrior)'' Well then just seize the prisoners.<br />
''Foot warrior falls over''<br />
Line 66:
== Video Games ==
 
* In the ending sequence of ''[[Wing Commander (Videovideo Gamegame)|Wing Commander]] IV'', Admiral Towlyn [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpbOkVdl7b0#t=1m58s demonstrates how to be a melodramatic villain].
 
== Web Original ==
Line 74:
== Webcomics ==
 
* ''[[Digger (Webcomic)|Digger]]'' caught this from the hyenas at one point.
 
== Western Animation ==
Line 83:
** Another version, subverted:
{{quote| '''Bureaucrat 1.0:''' Guards! Bring me the forms I have to fill out to have her taken away!}}
* ''[[The Thief and The Cobbler (Animation)|The Thief and Thethe Cobbler]]'' has the line 'Sieze Him! Take Him! Sieze Him! Take Him!' spoken by Zig Zag the film's [[Large Ham]] and primary antagonist.
