There’s a scene on some movie or show where the antagonist says to the protagonist, ‘I want you to… like me.’ Or it may have been a pair of antagonists, and one says, ‘We want you to… like us.’ I _almost_ have it in my head that it’s a line from _Preacher_, but I just can’t remember. Does anyone know where the line came from? ---

There’s a scene with a conversation like that near the end of _Catch 22_, Martin Balsam and Buck Henry talking to Alan Arkin. ---
