--->'''Warden Norton''': Nothing stops. Nothing... or you will do the hardest time there is. No more protection from the guards. I'll pull you out of that one-bunk Hilton and cast you down with the Sodomites. You'll think you've been fucked by a train! And the library? Gone... sealed off, brick-by-brick. We'll have us [[BookBurning a little book barbecue in the yard]]. They'll see the flames for miles. We'll dance around it like wild Injuns! You understand me? Catching my drift?...[[MoralEventHorizon .. Or am I being obtuse?]]

* ''[[Literature/TheOregonFiles'': In ''Skeleton Coast,'' this is used on a captured ecoterrorist while interrogating her. The interrogator in question, Linda Ross, calmly and coldly describes how she intends to painfully and methodically torture the terrified captive until the woman either dies or gives up the information she wants. Much like the ''Princess Bride'', however, it was intended as a bluff, and one that works; her prisoner sings like a canary barely five seconds after Linda leaves the room. However, it should be noted that Linda took ''no'' pleasure in doing this to the woman, ecoterrorist or not, but the situation was too dire to utilize more humane methods of extracting information.
