Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jaeger

A German phrase from the anime Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin. It is said at the beginning of the anime's theme song, and has become popular. It translates to: They are the food (prey) and we are the hunters. You are the prey = Du bist (singular) or Ihr seid (pl "y'all are) das Essen (undefined/non-specific/ "meal," may be incorrectly used in this case).

Person 1: Have you seen Attack on Titan? Person 2: Oh yeah man, I love that anime! Both (yelling loudly and in unison): SIE SIND DAS ESSEN UND WIR SIND DIE JAEGER!
