What a great idea! What a great poll. 

FYC:

ADA Miguel Prado: I accept you. I accept you, Dexter, like a brother.

Dexter Morgan (in response): I killed my brother. I killed yours, too.

Dexter: Brother Sam believed light can keep darkness at bay. But I wonder if darkness is defined by light.

Nate Fisher (Six Feet Under): My father's dead, my mom's a whore, my brotherwants to kill me, and my sister's smoking crack. I think I win.

Regarding Loki's quote, are you positive he says the other stuff after "Trust my rage"? I haven't been able to confirm it, and it's not listed here (although we can't really trust the IMDb quote pages):

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1981115/quotes/?item=qt2047170&ref_=ext_shr_lnk

About Michael's quote, he actually never says brother there, but I already have another one of his quotes.

I'll consider the others, thanks.

I don't remember that Jon Snow quote. Are you sure it's from the episode Beyond the Wall? Who does he say it to?

Narrator from Once Upon a time in... Hollywood:

"When you come to the end of the line, with a buddy who is more than a brother and a little less than a wife, getting blind drunk together is really the only way to say farewell."

Private Ryan from Saving Private Ryan

"Tell her that when you found me I was here and I was with the only brothers that I have left and that there was no way I was gonna desert them. I think she'll understand that. There's no way I'm leaving this bridge."

@Jessica,

For your consideration:

Boys Town (1938)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029942/mediaviewer/rm96255490/ 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029942/quotes/?item=qt4869602 

Whitey Marsh: He's not heavy, he's my brother.

I have not found an image for the specific scene where this quote occurs, however, this image is representative.

The film 'Boys Town' (1938) is based on the real Boys Town in Boys Town, Nebraska.

The Origin at Boys Town

The phrase became synonymous with the organization in the early 1920s. According to Boys Town history, a boy named Howard Loomis, who had polio and wore leg braces, arrived at the home. Other older boys would take turns carrying him up the stairs.

When Father Flanagan, the founder, saw a boy named Reuben Granger carrying Howard and asked if it was hard work, Reuben famously replied: "He ain't heavy, Father, he's m' brother."

Use in the 1938 Film Boys Town

The film, starring Spencer Tracy as Father Flanagan and Mickey Rooney as a rebellious youth, used this sentiment to drive home its emotional core.

FYC (quotes from women) for Part 2:

"You're my half brother. You know who else was my half brother? Tommy! Tommy who I tried to kiss. I tried to kill my half brother before my real father killed him! That's how screwed up I am!"— Thea Queen ("Arrow")

I know I already suggested a Dexter quote, which is on the list, but I knew to look to Debra for "brother" quotes so just in case you want to use one:

Deb: "Why is it we never talk brother-sister stuff?"

Dexter: "Our dad was a cop. You're a cop. I work for the cops. For us, this is brother-sister stuff." 

 

(This may crop better than the other images of the two of them:

I tried to kiss my half brother before my real father killed him.

Tommy died at the end of Season 1. Thea only became "killy" in Season 3.

Added the quote from Arrow, thanks.

I'd rather not have two quotes from the same character, but I like Deb and Dexter's more so if it's OK with you I'll add it instead of the other one.
