--->'''Conan''': I think you never saw a man from the West before. Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man — like this!

-->'''Gregor''': His meds must be further off dose than I thought. No, watch—he's bluffing. I'll prove it.

** When shit starts going down, Crowley gets a crapload of these. First he takes out Duke Ligur by [[BucketBoobyTrap rigging his door with a bucket of holy water]], then proceeds to take advantage of Hastur's paranioa and finally '''trap him in an answering machine.''' (He resists the urge to turn him into Freddie Mercury, though, because [[EvenEvilHasStandards you can only go so far]].) With this done, he hauls ass to Aziraphale's bookstore, which is at this point on fire, and runs into said burning building because he thinks Aziraphale is still inside. Afterward, cue further asshaulery as he makes his way to lower Tadfield, utterly destroying his car until he's driving a fireball of charred metal and rubber.

[[AC:Nation]]

For you, this place is HELL. You HEAR me? You UNDERSTAND? For you, here is PAIN. Here is DEATH. He died EASY. You will die HARD. You will die SCREAMING. Your bitches will HOWL. Your pups will STARVE. I will FEED YOU YOUR FUTURE."''

-->"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers
-->For he today that sheds his blood with mine
-->Shall be my brother, be he ne'er so vile
-->This day shall gentle his condition:

-->And hold their manhoods cheap whilst any speaks
-->That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day."

* Awesome/TheChroniclesOfNarnia

* Hell, just Paul's first few scenes, where he isn't impressed at all by the Reverend Mother and repeatedly questions her statements and talks back to her. Plus, he keeps his hand in a box that makes it feel like it's on fire, for even longer than the test is usually done.

* Jeff Higgins' first encounter with Gretchen. It's a classic story of BoyMeetsGirl, boy protects girl from army (with only a shotgun and his three best friends to back him up), boy helps girl murder her rapist, boy proposes to girl using a bilingual dictionary. [[spoiler:She says yes]].

[[AC:AdventursofHuckleberryFinn]]

* No love for Huck? What of his conclusion to his mental debate on whether helping a slave runaway would send him to hell? "All right, fine, I'll 'go' to hell then."

Don't forget to mind the '''spoilers''', Tropers!

* Leopards routinely attacked, mauled, and devoured the highly primitive cave people at the beginning of the Book. However, the trusty Monolith showed up, and gave a few lessons in various things, including how to wield weapons. A few nights later, the leopard attacks a cave full of people thinking it will kill them all. Not this time....
