| 9 | ->''"When you kill your enemy, you wanna look straight in his eyes so he knows that you're the one who beat him to death! It also gives you a chance to deal out some really zippy one-liners. Like, 'I hope you brought your wallet, 'cause the rent in Hell gets paid in advance!' Or my personal favorite, 'You just got Sarged!'"'' |
| 10 | -->-- '''Sarge''', ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' |
| 11 | |
| 12 | What's better than killing your most hated enemy? Sending them into the afterlife with your voice in their ears and the proof of your badassery in their head, that's what. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Another common staple of the ActionHero, this finishing quote need not be a OneLiner, but [[JustBetweenYouAndMe the longer your little speech goes]], the more likely the bad guy will find some way to evade your intended killing blow or worse, make you TalkToTheFist. Consequently, GenreSavvy heroes are advised to just KillHimAlready and save the pithy quotes for [[BondOneLiner immediately afterwards]]. Of course, sometimes (as in the ''Heroes'' and ''Matrix'' examples) it seems that a Pre-Mortem One-Liner somehow paralyzes your enemy while you deliver it, or maybe they're just courteous. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Alternatively, the quote can be said in that short window of time ''after'' the killing blow is struck, but ''before'' your enemy's consciousness fades, as a metaphorical way of adding salt to the wound. Be warned, however, that if your enemy still has motor control, the quote might spur them to pull off a TakingYouWithMe. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The [[RoarBeforeBeating monstrous equivalent]] is less articulate. Not to be confused with a PreAsskickingOneLiner, which is used at the beginning of a fight; these quotes are used to ''end'' the fight. Also related but different is a one-liner delivered when [[SoLongSuckers escaping from battle]]. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | GiveMyRegardsInTheNextWorld and SeeYouInHell are subtropes. Compare BondOneLiner (aka Post-Mortem One-Liner), which is said ''after'' the victim's consciousness has faded, and directed at the audience, to another character, or just to oneself. If the victim is the one speaking, it's DefiantToTheEnd or FacingTheBulletsOneLiner. |

| 41 | * [[DownplayedTrope A deathless example]] from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', at the end of the first season. [[spoiler:The Female Titan]] is trying to climb the Wall and escape when Mikasa swings in and severs her fingers. Then Mikasa lands on her face to look her in the eye and tells her, "[[spoiler:Annie]]. Fall." And so, she falls, and is soundly defeated. |
| 42 | * Guts from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' to [[spoiler:Father Mozgus]]: "When you meet your god, tell him to LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!!" |
| 43 | * ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' has a number of these, given it's a 26-episode love letter to 80ies Hollywood action. Revy vs the neo-nazi captain is a good example. |
| 44 | -->'''Revy:''' Say hi to the Führer for me, would ya? *BANG* |
| 45 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': |
| 46 | ** After [[spoiler:Avirama]] berates Kira for not fighting like a warrior should and Kira [[spoiler:traps him with his sword underneath his neck, ready to decapitate him]]: |
| 47 | --->'''Kira:''' A warrior does not beg for his life. |
| 48 | ** Mayuri Kurotsuchi, after incapacitating Szayel Aporro Granz with the superhuman drug and a sword to the chest, not quite piercing his heart. |
| 49 | --->'''Kurotsuchi:''' Alright, then. [[AndIMustScream Enjoy the next hundred years.]] |
| 50 | ** Much later, in the Thousand Year Blood War Arc, [[RankScalesWithAsskicking Yamamoto]] gives us this one: |
| 51 | --->'''Yamamoto:''' ''[while being attacked by [[spoiler:his deceased comrade's Bankai, which was stolen by a Quincy]]'' Chojiro... You must be so humiliated... Chojiro... I feel your anger... The bankai you honed... '''''IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THIS WEAK!!!''''' (He then incinerates said [[spoiler:Quincy]] down to the bone at point blank range.) |
| 52 | ** A little after that, [[spoiler:the new BigBad Yhwach turns the tables on Old Man Yama]]: |
| 53 | --->[[spoiler:'''Yhwach:''' Farewell, Shigekuni Yamamoto.]] |
| 54 | * Muska's "Goodbye! Enjoy the ride!" quip in the Disney dub of ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'' before dropping the soldiers to their deaths. |
| 55 | * ''Anime/CodeGeass'' gives us [[PsychoForHire Luciano Bradley]], who ask his victims, "What's the one thing you value the most? That's right -- your life," right before tearing them apart with his [[HumongousMecha Percival]]'s [[ThisIsADrill Particle Drill Lance]]. Later [[spoiler:Kallen Kozuki [[IronicEcho uses the exact same line]] before killing Luciano with an even nastier weapon: her [[FacepalmOfDoom Radiant Wave Surger]]]]. |
| 56 | -->'''Kallen:''' Question... what do ''you'' value most? Your ''own'' pitiful life?\ |
| 57 | '''Bradley:''' You think an [[FantasticRacism Eleven]] can threaten me?!\ |
| 58 | '''Kallen (under breath):''' [[SeeYouInHell Send a postcard.]] ''(sets Radiant Wave Surger to full power)'' |
| 59 | * ''Manga/DeathNote'': Light Yagami likes using these. |
| 60 | ** [[spoiler:"I win, Near." Unfortunately for Light, about five seconds after said one liner is delivered, we discover that Near is one step ahead of the game and has [[OutGambitted set events in motion to counteract Light's grand plan]]. The Pre-Mortem One-Liner instead becomes a confession.]] |
| 61 | ** "Good bye (Name of the victim)" several times, [[spoiler:"Good bye Lind L. Taylor" "Good bye Raye Pember" "Good Bye, Naomi Misora"]] probably to gloat in the fact that he can kill them ''because'' he knows their names. [[spoiler:Ryuk gets to say this to Light himself in the end after [[HoistByHisOwnPetard writing Light's name in his own Death Note.]]]] |
| 62 | ** "Why do you keep looking at your watch?" "Oh that? That's because I'm Kira." |
| 63 | * ''Franchise/DragonBall'': |
| 64 | ** Many characters are fond of these, particularly Vegeta. Although after 70% of them, [[TheWorfBarrage it turns out the target is OK after all]]. |
| 65 | ** Future Trunks gets two in particular before utterly OBLITERATING his targets. |
| 66 | ---> "This is for Gohan!" ''[[[spoiler:Destroying Future Android 18.]]]'' |
| 67 | ---> "The nightmare is over, Cell! DIE!" |
| 68 | ** Kai has variants of these two. |
| 69 | ---> [[AndThisIsFor "That one was for my friends! THIS one's for me... and my teacher, Gohan!"]] ''[[[spoiler:After vaporizing Future 18, before blowing Future 17 to pieces.]]]'' |
| 70 | ---> "SAY HELLO TO YOUR ''DOOM,'' CELL!!!" |
| 71 | ** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'': The [[Recap/DragonBallSuperFutureTrunksArc Future Trunks Saga]] has a few: |
| 72 | *** Beerus gives out one to [[spoiler: Present Zamasu]] before erasing him with [[CessationOfExistence Hakai]], depending on whether it's the original Japanese dub or the English dub. |
| 73 | ---> '''Beerus (sub)''': "Don't get cocky. Hakai." |
| 74 | ---> '''Beerus (dub)''': "Sorry Kai, but your luck has just run out. Hakai." |
| 75 | *** Later on in the arc, [[TopGod Zeno]] says one to Zamasu [[spoiler: [[EldritchAbomination after he has become one with the multiverse]] before erasing it all]]. |
| 76 | ---> '''Zeno (sub)''': A world like this must disappear! |
| 77 | ---> '''Zeno (dub)''': All of existence go away! |
| 78 | * ''Manga/ElfenLied:'' "[[FantasticRacism You know who isn't human?]] '''[[KidsAreCruel You know who isn't human?!]]''' '''[[BewareTheNiceOnes PEOPLE]] [[UnstoppableRage LIKE]] [[YourHeadASplode YOU!!!]]'''" |
| 79 | * ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'': |
| 80 | -->'''Kenshiro:''' YouAreAlreadyDead. |
| 81 | * In the manga of ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', straddling the line between this and BondOneLiner (being said after the killing blow but before actual death) is [[FourStarBadass Major-General Armstrong's]] [[spoiler:"''You'' are among the weak who will become the foundation of this country," as she pushes General Raven into a wet concrete floor after stabbing him.]] Not only is it a pun, it [[IronicEcho echoes]] [[spoiler: TheSocialDarwinist speech Raven had just been giving her]]. |
| 82 | ** Ed's defeat of the two brothers in Lab 5 fits this. Specifically, his line just before blasting their AnimatedArmor body in half using Scar's signature trick: |
| 83 | --->'''Edward''': "I just remembered this guy I don't like." |
| 84 | ** In ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'', Roy gets one before killing [[spoiler:King Bradley, who has been revealed as a homunculus]]. |
| 85 | --->'''Mustang''': "I don't know how long you've lived, [[spoiler:Fuhrer]], or how many times you've cheated death, but not anymore." ''*sets [[spoiler:Bradley/Pride]] on fire*'' "It's the end of the line." |
| 86 | * Unexpectedly, one character from ''Anime/GargantiaOnTheVerdurousPlanet'' has this moment. |
| 87 | -->[[spoiler:'''[[BigBad Striker]]''': [Chamber] you are clearly malfunctioning. You must reformat and reboot. This is your final warning.]] |
| 88 | -->[[spoiler: '''Chamber''': Response to final warning: Go to hell, tin can!]] |
| 89 | * The Major gets a good one in ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex 2nd Gig''. After [[spoiler: Gouda]] is informed that the Prime Minister has authorized any means, up to and including assassination, to prevent his defection, he says that it's a bluff. |
| 90 | --> '''Motoko:''' You think so, huh? Well you're '''dead''' wrong! |
| 91 | * ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' had this memorable line by Gintoki before he defeated Oboro in the Courtesan of a Nation Arc and then used again by [[spoiler:Takasugi]] before [[spoiler: killing Sada Sada]]. |
| 92 | -->Say hello to Sensei for me. |
| 93 | * ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' |
| 94 | ** Alucard [[spoiler:when he kills Luke Valentine]]: "I'm a dog? Then you're dog food." |

| 96 | --->'''Seras:''' How does it feel having somebody fuck with your head?! How does it feel, you [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BITCH]]?! |

| 100 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'': After Polnareff realizes that Vanilla Ice is a vampire, he taunts Ice into approaching an open window and says "Now go to Hell, asshole."

| 102 | *** When manga artist Rohan Kishibe defeats Cheap Trick by [[spoiler:tricking it into getting dragged off to the afterlife. Before it goes, he uses his stand, Heaven's Door, to open Cheap Trick like a book and write in a command.]] "I don't know if there is a Heaven or a Hell. But just in case, I will write... GO TO HELL!" |
| 103 | *** Before killing Shigechi after the latter has touched a doorknob, Yoshikage Kira telepathically says "Sorry, but Killer Queen has already left its mark on the doorknob." before Shigechi explodes into multiple pieces. |
| 104 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'': While he skips the face to face part, Giorno Giovanna says, knowing the moment Polpo [[AteHisGun would try to eat the gun Gold Experience turned into a banana]], drops one heck of a zinger. |
| 105 | --->'''Giorno:''' I took the liberty of changing one of your guns into your favorite snack. It's your last meal, Polpo. Hope you enjoy it. |
| 106 | * Aya gets a number of these in ''Anime/KnightHunters''. Particularly notable examples: |
| 107 | ** "I am neither the devil nor Death. I am just a murderer." -- just before killing [[MadArtist Wunder X]]. |
| 108 | ** "Don't look. It's the death of a man whose life is not worth living." -- to [[DamselInDistress Kaori]] just before Ken unloads a shotgun into the villain's mouth in the OAV. |
| 109 | * ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' at the end of Episode 24: "Be scattered to the ends of the galaxy." [[spoiler:Delivered by Brera Sterne just before he blows a meter-wide hole in Alto's fighter, which explodes shortly afterward]]. |
| 110 | ** Resident HotBlooded guy Bobby pulls off one in episode 7 as well. "'''REST IN PEACE!!!''' ''(fires [[WaveMotionGun Macross Cannon]])''" |
| 111 | * ''VideoGame/{{Medabots}}''' Metabee ends his fights like this every time his Medaforce is activated in the dub. |
| 112 | * ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory]]'' has this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXjaZe3lPF8 gem of a speech,]] [[spoiler: right before an ''entire Earth Federation Fleet'' gets their asses nuked to Kingdom Come:]] |

| 134 | * In ''Anime/WonderEggPriority'', each of the girls has a catchphrase that functions as this, being said every time they land the finishing blow to a [[MonsterOfTheWeek Wonder Killer]]. |

When Frank Castle is fired upon by a pair of hoodlums who are [[GangstaStyle aiming their guns sideways]] and each one of their shots misses him by a mile. Frank uses this opportunity to dispose of them with shots to the head. He then calmly walks up to the last remaining gangster and tells them this. |

| 188 | ---> "Here's a special delivery!" ''[[StuffBlowingUp (The bomb then punches through the deck and explodes inside the ship, blowing the entire thing to smithereens)]]'' |
| 189 | ** The next chapter has this gem from Sunburst, as part of a BigDamnHeroes moment: |

| 197 | * ''FanFic/{{Atonement}}'': |

| 199 | --->'''Tether''': Well, I kinda figured I'd give you the finger. [Touches Pandora's finger to Teacher, letting Pandora absorb him] |
| 200 | ** Because Ruin's power is voice-activated and very lethal (disintegrating all biological matter in front of her), ''anything'' she says is this. She's not one for snark, though. |
| 201 | --->'''Ruin''': No. [Kills a MesACrowd Birdcage inmate] |
| 202 | --->'''Ruin''': No more. [Kills [[MookMaker Horde]]] |
| 203 | * ''Fanfic/BrotherOnBoard'': Being armed with a rifle, Sabo often averts the 'nobody dies in ''Manga/OnePiece''' rule. Two notable examples thus far: |

| 205 | --->'''Nezumi''': You... you'll pay for this! I'll place a bounty on your head! A big one! You'll regret the day you crossed me, pirate!\ |

| 213 | * ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': |

| 269 | -->'''Yami:''' That's Russian vodka you're pouring all over yourself. If you were to shoot me, the lighter would fall from your hand and you'd be cooked to a crisp. It'd probably be the closest this restaurant would get to offering 100% beef. |

Now go to Literature/{{Discworld}} fics ''Hyperemesis Gravidarum'' and ''Strandpiel'' by Creator/AAPessimal. |

She points out that he has just ripped a huge hole in the back of her tunic. Then stabs him with her short sword. [[note]]Unlike Olga, he isn't wearing armour under his shirt.

| 296 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'': Right before Anastasia destroys [[BigBad Rasputin's]] [[SoulJar reliquary]], she says to him, "Dasvidaniya!", which is the Russian word for goodbye. Doubles as a bit of an IronicEcho, as Rasputin also said the same thing during his VillainSong. |

| 298 | * In ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'': |
| 299 | -->'''Helga''': You promised me a percentage!\ |

| 369 | * In the ''Literature/AlexRider'' book ''Crocodile Tears'', [[spoiler:Desmond [=McCain=], the villain, is about to shoot Alex, and says "You're going on a short journey to Hell."

| 383 | ** ''Literature/TheFifthElephant'' sees Sam Vimes avert this trope, consciously so. As he takes down a psychopathic rogue werewolf who is resisting arrest, he refrains from making any quips about the manner of the werewolf's death because, in the mind of copper Vimes, to do so would cross a line from "the dangerous suspect died whilst resisting arrest" into "pre-meditated murder". [[note]]Vimes offered Wolfgang several chances to give himself up; when all were refused, he had to escalate to the next level of legitimate force to keep it legal. A wolf then played chase with an explosive rocket, catching it in his jaws and - very briefly - worrying at it.

| 402 | ** ''Shadow of Freedom'' raises the stakes with this conversation between Sir Aivars Terekhov and Brigadier Yucel: |
| 403 | -->'''Terekhov:''' I can’t say it’s been a pleasure speaking to you, Brigadier. Educational, yes, in a disgusting sort of way, but not a pleasure. In fact, [[{{Foreshadowing}} I’m just as happy we won’t be speaking again]]. |
| 404 | -->'''Yucel:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Good. Now get the fuck out of here]] before I change my mind and decide to [[HostageSituation shoot a couple of dozen of them]] to hurry you on your way! |
| 405 | -->'''[[GoodIsNotSoft Terekhov]]:'''Oh, [[TranquilFury I’m not afraid of that.]] [[DeadlyEuphemism In fact, you should be receiving my response to your terms...]] [[OrbitalBombardment just about now.]][[note]]To make it even better, [[LateToThePunchline Yucel is still trying to figure out what that last bit meant]] when her headquarters is atomized by Terkhov's orbital strike.[[/note]] |

I had only a moment before talking to a corpse, but I got it in. "It was easy," I said. |
| 410 | * ''Literature/{{Johannes Cabal|TheNecromancer}}'' Johannes is a pithy man who usually only employs lethal force, or no violence at all. As a result he tends to have several of these. When stranded in a pocket dimension with no sense of time that has turned the other inhabitants into dull automatons who repeat actions over and over, Cabal takes a croquette bat from one, ostensibly to help take a shot. "Tricky shot." He says-before bludgeoning the man dead in one swing (it doesn't take). |
| 411 | ** In ''Literature/JohannesCabalAndTheFearInstitute'' Johannes and a man are staring over a cliff edge, which , Cabal says, two things at the bottom.

| 414 | -->''With that Atli hurled his spear at him and pierced him through the middle.'' |
| 415 | * In the ''Literature/RedDwarf'' novel, ''Better Than Life'', Talkie Toaster uses his signature line "Hey pal, you want some toast?" right before taking down a giant polymorph monster with a pair of super heated ashtrays. |
| 416 | * ''Outcast of Literature/{{Redwall}}'': "You have lived like a coward, now die like a soldier, sah!" |
| 417 | * In the ''Literature/RepairmanJack'' book Fatal Error, Jack gets ambushed and held at knife point by some guys who describe how they're going to torture him to death. Earlier in the scene, he tells them that if you're in a fair fight it means you didn't prepare enough. When he breaks free and pulls a gun out, he says, "You didn't prepare enough" before shooting them. This is especially awesome because Jack doesn't usually do one-liners, being a pragmatic fighter. |
| 418 | * In ''Literature/ReturnOfTheLiving'' [[spoiler: the ghost protagonist Alma is going to merge consciousness with the villain Professor, which they both know from the Professor attempting to merge ghosts with living beings could destroy either or both of them and which the Professor reminds her. Alma laughs off her attempts to disuade her and mocks her adversary's fear.]] |
| 419 | --> What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost. |
| 420 | * From the Old Icelandic ''Literature/SagaOfGrettirTheStrong'': Thorfinn had made a botched attempt on Thorgeir's life and left his axe behind. Years later, cue the following exchange: |
| 421 | -->''“Here I bring you your axe!”, said Thorgeir. Then he struck at Thorfinn's neck and cut off his head.'' |
| 422 | * In the ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' story "The Solitary Cyclist," Carruthers tries to avert the scheme he'd hatched with Jack Woodley to gain the inheritance of a young woman named Violet Smith by marrying her to Woodley. Carruthers, Holmes, and Watson arrive just after the ceremony is finished.[[note]]He doesn't kill Woodley, but is persuaded against finishing him off because--as Holmes points out--first off the priest was defrocked and so the ceremony invalid, and secondly England does not recognize forced marriages and rather treats such abductions as serious felonies.[[/note]] |
| 423 | -->'''Woodley:''' You're too late. She's my wife!\ |
| 424 | '''Carruthers:''' No, she's your widow. [BANG.] |
| 425 | * In ''[[Literature/DocSidhe Sidhe-Devil]]'', Rudi Bergmonk catches the man most responsible for him being forced to kill his eldest brother. The guy tries to surrender. Rudi, a crook who's [[EnemyMine working with Doc Sidhe]] only in order to avenge his brother, replies, "You've mistaken me for one of the good [guys]." Bang. |
| 426 | * Spoofed at one point in the ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant'' series: |
| 427 | --> ''' [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Vaurien Scapegrace:]]''' Valkyrie Cain, welcome to death.\ |
| 428 | '''Valkyrie Cain:''' [[DeadpanSnarker That is such a stupid thing to say.]] |
| 429 | * ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' has several: |
| 430 | ** In ''Literature/AGameOfThrones'' Ned Stark recalls when he fought and killed Ser Arthur Dayne at the Tower of Joy. It is somewhat downplayed by the fact that Ned doesn't mean it as a boast or a taunt, [[WhatASenselessWasteOfHumanLife but a sad and foreboding rumination on how even more men are about to die in battle in a war that is already over]]: |
| 431 | --->'''Ser Arthur Dayne:''' And now it begins. ''(unsheathes his sword)''\ |
| 432 | '''Ned Stark:''' ''(with sadness in his voice)'' No. Now it ends. |
| 433 | ** A particularly dark one that later becomes a plot point from Roose Bolton before he slays [[spoiler:Robb Stark]]. |
| 434 | --->'''Roose:''' [[spoiler:Jaime Lannister sends his regards.]] |
| 435 | ** Ser Gregor Clegane, before he [[spoiler:crushes Oberyn Martell's skull]]. |
| 436 | --->'''Gregor:''' Elia of Dorne. I killed her screaming whelp. ''Then I'' raped her. Then I smashed her fucking head in. Like this. |
| 437 | ** Littlefinger to [[spoiler: Lysa. He tells her he has only ever loved one woman, and Lysa believes he means her and lowers her guard. Then Littlefinger adds a little addendum]]: |
| 438 | ---> '''Littlefinger:''' [[spoiler: Only Cat.]] |
| 439 | * A pretty awesome one comes from one of the ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' prequels, ''[[Literature/ArchmaesterGyldaynsHistories The Princess and the Queen]]''. Hugh Hammer had betrayed the side he was fighting for in a war, and then tried to set himself up as a king because he figured [[AppealToForce that he could do anything]] due to being a DragonRider. He became so hated that Jon Roxton, a member of the side Hugh had defected to before attempting to name himself king, decided to kill him. Just as a battle was starting to break out and there was chaos all around, (and Hammer was far away from his dragon) Roxton walked up to Hammer, and we get this exchange: |
| 440 | -->'''Jon Roxton:''' Lord Hammer, my condolences.\ |
| 441 | '''Hugh Hammer:''' For what?\ |
| 442 | '''Jon Roxton:''' You died in the battle. [cuts Hugh near in half with his sword] |
| 443 | * In a ''TabletopGame/{{Spelljammer}}'' novel ''The Maelstrom's Eye'' happened when a half-[[Literature/{{Dragonlance}} kender]] who "studied art of some kind" in "some place called [[{{Wutai}} Kozakura]]" decided she's a CombatPragmatist after all. So she picked up a [[spoiler:double-barrelled [[OurOrcsAreDifferent scro]] [[{{BFG}} harpoon-bombard]]]] and walked to the thing's previous owner, about twice her height. |
| 444 | -->'''Gaeadrelle Goldring''': My sensei is going to hate me for this. ''Sayonara''. |
| 445 | * In the novel version of ''Franchise/StarWars: Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', before Darth Vader kills Gunray: |
| 446 | -->'''Gunray:''' Please! He said... we'd be left in peace!\ |
| 447 | '''Vader:''' The transmission was garbled. He said you'd be left in pieces. |
| 448 | ** The entire scene is filled with these and [[BondOneLiner Bond One-Liners]], from the moment Vader enters the room: |
| 449 | --->'''San Hill:''' On the behalf of the leadership of the Confederation of Independent Systems, let me be the first to...\ |
| 450 | '''Vader:''' Very well. You will be the first. ''[seals the doors]'' |
| 451 | * Adolin Kholin gets a very satisfying one at the end of ''Literature/WordsOfRadiance'' in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'' when he [[spoiler: muders Sadeas, the man who has repeatedly tried to politically undermine and murder his father even with the end of the world arriving. ]] |
| 452 | -->'''Adolin:''' My father thinks I'm a better man than he is. Unfortunately for you, he's wrong. |
| 453 | * From ''Literature/TalesOfDunkAndEgg'' by Creator/GeorgeRRMartin: "I told you. I'm better with a sword" |
| 454 | * In Michael Crichton's ''Literature/{{Timeline}}'', the douchey Big Bad's attempt to mock the hero turns back against him. He had been telling the hero he would have to 'watch his death happen,' but when the hero finds a way to burn him alive before exploding him into pieces, he charmingly repeats the Badman's douchey line 'Watch it happen,' which sounds infinitely more badass in our hero's mouth. |
| 455 | * "See you in Hades, fuckwit!"- Lucifer Niggerbastard, Chapter 12 (''Literature/TheVaginaAssOfLuciferNiggerbastard'') |
| 456 | ** Because of an empty cartridge, Lucifer does not actually kill Turnus. |
| 457 | * ''Literature/WarriorCats'': One notable example is Firestar's final line before killing [[spoiler:Tigerstar's spirit]] in ''The Last Hope'': |
| 458 | -->'''Firestar:''' You lived like a rogue. You can die like a rogue!'' |
| 459 | * ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' |
| 460 | --> '''Mat:''' "I've come to give you your [[ArtifactOfDoom gift]] back, Mordeth. I consider our debt paid in full." |
| 461 | * A slight subversion in Eoin Colfer's ''Literature/TheWishList'', considering both people involved are already dead. Meg Finn has earned her final reward and is on the fast track up the tunnel towards Heaven, but the dog/human hybrid spirit of Belch Brennan attempts to drag her in the opposite direction, prompting (according to Saint Peter afterwards) the first instance of violence in the tunnel, accompanied by this: |
| 462 | -->''Belch, you can go to Hell!'' (kick to the face) |
| 463 | * In Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/WolvesOfTheCalla'', a character tells the legend of Lady Oriza, who, before killing Gray Dick, who [[YouKilledMyFather killed her father]], tells him this: "May your first day in hell last ten thousand years, and may it be the shortest." |

| 468 | * In ''Podcast/TheAdventureZoneBalance'', Edward ''intends'' to give one of these with "bad luck" just before [[spoiler: expelling Magnus's soul from his body with the Animus Bell. But thanks to Merle and Taako, the "mortem" part doesn't quite take.]] |
| 469 | * In ''Podcast/NotAnotherDnDPodcast'', whenever a player defeats the strongest/last opponent in a combat encounter, the DM will say "(The character's name), Finish Him!", ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' style. |

It states one of the things your Commissar should be saying before summarily executing a Guardsman is a final benediction for their soul with addition "Or at the very least, a withering/witty retort." in a footnote, instead of the Orkish BattleCry [[PaperThinDisguise "Waaagh!"]] |

| 476 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 477 | * After ascending to DarkMessiah status in ''Theatre/BlackFriday'', Linda gets a particuarly good one when her cult captures Frank and Lex. |
| 478 | -->'''Frank:''' [[AintTooProudToBeg Please! Let me go!]] For the love of ''God''!\ |
| 479 | '''Linda:''' ''[chuckles]'' I've met God. He had nothing nice to say about you. ''[[[SlashedThroat slits his throat]] with a boxcutter]'' |
| 480 | * ''Jekyll and Hyde'': |
| 481 | -->"Bad news from God, Teddy." |
| 482 | ** Most of Hyde's victims get this treatment, including "General, I'm happy to inform you that you have been relieved from your duties... All of them!", and "You shouldn't wear your diamonds out on the street; you never know who you might encounter!", and all of them happen during short breaks in which the music gets softer in a big musical number. |
| 483 | * In Creator/AndrewLloydWebber's musical adaptation of ''Film/SunsetBoulevard'', [[spoiler:as Joe Gillis is attempting to leave Norma after telling her the truth about her "fantasies" of being a silent film star, she angrily sings out this line before fatally shooting him not once, not twice, [[DoubleSubverted but three times]]]]: |
| 484 | -->'''[[spoiler:Norma]]:''' ''[sings]'' [[LargeHam Noooo ooooone ever leaves a staaaaar...!]] |
| 485 | * Creator/WilliamShakespeare's works: |
| 486 | ** In ''Theatre/RichardII'', the titular monarch gets a rare moment of badassery when dispatching one of his own assassins: |
| 487 | --->'''Richard:''' Go thou and fill another room in Hell. |
| 488 | ** In ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'', when Hamlet learns that his blade is poisoned, he ''[[KillhimAlready finally]]'' turns it on his EvilUncle Claudius. |
| 489 | --->'''Hamlet:''' Then, venom, to thy work! ''[stabs him]'' |
| 490 | * In Puccini's opera ''Theatre/{{Tosca}}'', the titular character has [[ScarpiaUltimatum sold herself to Scarpia]] in exchange for her lover Mario's life. Scarpia signs the papers for Mario's release and pulls Tosca in for the promised price. But before he can start anything, Tosca pulls out her previously stored knife and sticks him right in the chest, defiantly shouting "Questo è il bacio di Tosca!" (This is Tosca's kiss!) and as he dies on the floor she tauntingly asks him if is blood is choking him. |

| 496 | ** Subverted in the ''Ride/{{Jaws}}'' ride, the skipper says, "Eat THIS!" while firing at the shark while it's getting electrocuted, but it's soon after revealed that the shark survived this, albeit briefly. |
| 497 | ** EVAC in ''Ride/TransformersTheRide'' says, "He wants the Allspark? He can ''have it''!" before killing Megatron with the Allspark. |

| 507 | -->'''Oran:''' [[MeaningfulEcho I BELIEVE!]] |
| 508 | * In the season 3 finale of ''WebAnimation/FiveNightsAtFreddysForgottenEvents'', [[spoiler:William Afton is about to use the device but nothing happens, only for him to see Springtrap in possession of the Power Stone before he gets wiped out by him]]. |
| 509 | --->[[spoiler: '''William Afton:''' I am the king of the world. (uses the device, but it doesn't work)\ |
| 510 | '''Springtrap:''' (shows [[ItWorksBetterWithBullets the Power Stone in his hand]]) And I... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis always...]] come back.]] |
| 511 | * ''WebAnimation/LoboWebseries'': Just after Lobo put an ExplosiveCigar to Tubo's mouth and before he detonates it, he says "Don't forget to floss, fatass!" |
| 512 | * ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'': |
| 513 | ** After Donut throws a grenade halfway across Blood Gulch and it hits Tex in the tank: "Hell yeah! Three points, you dirty whore!" |
| 514 | ** {{Parodied|Trope}} in episode 33 when Church pulls off a string of these at O'Malley while Tex mutters in the background -- "You're a real headache--" "What?" "--and I've got a gun full of aspirin." "That was terrible!" "It's time to split--" "Now that's just embarrassing." "--personality..." |
| 515 | ** One of the bonus videos, called "Sargeisms", is entirely dedicated to Sarge giving off large quantities of {{Bond|OneLiner}} and Pre-Mortem One-Liners. |
| 516 | ** From Church's string of one-liners: "I've got half a mind to kill you-- ''and the other half agrees."'' |
| 517 | ** {{Subverted|Trope}} in episode 3 of "[[WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheRecollection Revelation]]". Sarge aims his gun and begins to deliver his one-liner, only to fire before he's finished the sentence. The target ends up surviving as well. |
| 518 | --->'''Sarge:''' [[spoiler:Agent Wash]], you just got-- ''[explosion]'' Aw, damn it! I messed up my one-liner! |
| 519 | ** Sarge does eventually get one out when [[spoiler:Grif and Simmons help him take down the Meta by using a jeep to drag him off a cliff]]. Doubles as a BrickJoke. |
| 520 | --->'''Sarge:''' [[spoiler:Hey, Meta]], settle a bet. Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to ya? |
| 521 | ** At the end of ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy'', when the Blood Gulch Crew has [[spoiler:Felix pinned down and unable to redirect his shield]]: |

| 524 | --->'''Sarge:''' Hey, Temple. Sayonara, dirtbag! |
| 525 | * A few examples appear in ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': |
| 526 | ** After their climatic battle in Volume 3, Cinder Fall prepares to kill [[spoiler:Pyrrha Nikos]], but not before her victim asks a question. |
| 527 | --->[[spoiler:'''Pyrrha]]:''' Do you believe in destiny?\ |
| 528 | '''Cinder:''' ''Yes.'' |
| 529 | ** In "The Lost Fable", Salem and her husband end up fighting to the death when the husband tried to abandon her to continue his MissionFromGod. In the end, as he's slowly bleeding out, she pins him in place and bitterly berates him for giving up their chance at being the god rulers of the world. |
| 530 | --->'''Salem:''' We ''finally'' had freedom! |

| 533 | [[/folder]] |
| 534 | |
| 535 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 536 | * {{Parodied|Trope}} in ''WebComic/EightBitTheater'', where the Light Warriors are attempting to come up with a pre-mortem one-liner. Black Mage says one so bad that [[SuckinessIsPainful it kills the very enemy he was attempting to taunt]]. |
| 537 | -->''"Astos? Mo' like, yo' ass is toast!"'' |
| 538 | ** Red Mage is worse: |
| 539 | --->''"I think 'ass toes' is very appropriate. Because, you see, we're going to kick your ass, and that will put our toes in close proximity to..."'' |
| 540 | ** So is Fighter: |
| 541 | --->''"We will fight to the death! (It will be your death)"'' |
| 542 | * ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja:'' This quote at the end of a [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/4p7 two]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/4p8 page]] scene where the Doctor educates and demonstrates proper one-liner delivery: |
| 543 | --> ''"A properly-executed pre-mortem OneLiner is '''vital''' to our health. It intimidates our enemies, pumps us up, and most importantly, that little satisfaction from some quick wit goes a long way in keeping us from [[HeroicBSOD buckling under the stress of it all]]."'' |
| 544 | ** Further parodied when Gordito tries to put this advice into practice and starts giving one liners [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p23 with]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p24 every]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p31 kill]]. |
| 545 | ** It even gets used as a BrickJoke at the end of "Punch Dracula": Gordito says nothing when he [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p41 shoots the Ghost Wizard]], but that's because he's saving the one-liner for [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p54 much later]]. The AltText even {{lampshades}} this. |
| 546 | ** An alternate-universe Chuck Goodrich has a good one in [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p76 this]] panel |
| 547 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Concerned}}'', Gordon Frohman almost succeeds in [[spoiler:sneakily killing Gordon Freeman]], if not for his inability to come up with one of these. |
| 548 | * ''Webcomic/CrimsonDark'', [[http://www.davidcsimon.com/crimsondark/index.php?view=comic&strip_id=42 Chapter 01: Page 22]]. Kari takes control of the ''Niobe's'' guns as the enemy closes in. Doubles as TheTriple. |

| 552 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', just before [[spoiler:Magus kills Sirleck]], the killer [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2476 points out]] their own suspicious behavior from earlier -- specifically, gratuitously ''not'' noticing the victim's suspicious behavior. "Should've been a red flag." |
| 553 | * Zola of ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', when [[GrapplingHookPistol pulling]] her ass from the DeathTrap of "[[BigBad the Other]]" delivers one for each of the two remaining conscious people in the underground lab she [[spoiler:thinks]] she's leaving to their deaths: |
| 554 | -->'''Zola:''' Later, Tarvek. Oh, well, maybe ''not''. 'Bye, auntie! I'll tell your other selves "hello" from you! |

| 561 | --->''Maybe we ought to start calling you... Brainy Pete.''[[labelnote:*]]He was formerly known as Eagle-eyed Pete, but he learned that in the Thieving business you shouldn't name yourself after a body part you can't afford to lose. And sure enough, the cleric [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge enforced that rule right afterwards]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 562 | ** Lampshaded when Haley is about to kill [[spoiler:Bozzok]]. She gives a rather boring one liner (''"End of the road for you"''), but Belkar interferes: |
| 563 | --->'''Belkar''': WAIT!\ |
| 564 | '''Haley''': Ugh, what?\ |
| 565 | '''Belkar''': Don't you think you should make some kickass one liner before you finish him off? You know, Arnie style?\ |
| 566 | '''Haley''': Oh yeah, right. I forgot. |
| 567 | ** Elan delivers one to Kubota after the latter killed [[spoiler:Therkla]], though Kubota surrenders before Elan can actually kill him: "You were her captain... now you're going down with her ship." |
| 568 | ** Redcloak [[spoiler:gives the Resistance one of these, right before he wipes them out completely]]. |
| 569 | ** In strip #906, Nale gets one by ''nonchalantly commenting on the weather''. It must be seen to be understood, but as a hint, [[spoiler:he's about to kill a vampire]]. |

| 572 | ** Haley gets to deliver such a one-liner [[spoiler:to Crystal]] ''twice'', due to [[spoiler:Crystal being revived [[FateWorseThanDeath as a flesh golem]]]] after the first time. |
| 573 | --->'''Haley:''' IF Bozzok raises you, tell him the deal is off. I'm not paying him one copper piece ever again. NOT ONE. And I'll kill anyone he sends after me. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0648.html (first time)]]\ |
| 574 | '''Haley:''' The other reason is that I’m about to kill you again because you’re a sadistic unrepentant murderer who's a danger to, like, '''everyone'''. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0981.html (second time)]] |
| 575 | * Webcomic/ProblemSleuth kills the EldritchAbomination Fluthlu by using Trusty Knives to cut the power to a portal through which Fluthlu peeks in, thus causing a PortalCut, but not before this gem: |
| 576 | -->''"Hate to cut and run..."'' |
| 577 | ** [[CallBack The Midnight Crew later does a nice variant, where Slick starts saying "Hate to cut and..."]] and then curses his poor sense of timing, as his targets have not actually appeared yet. Then he utters this awesome line: |
| 578 | --->''Hate to chop all of your heads off with this sword. Real sorry about that. My bad.'' |
| 579 | * Used in [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1350 this]] questionably existent strip of ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent''. |

| 581 | -->''Buon Appetito.'' |
| 582 | * [[Webcomic/SchlockMercenary Sgt. Schlock]] ''almost'' had one... (too bad his gun's auto-targeting software wasn't smart enough for the rotating reference frame): |
| 583 | -->'''Ebbirnoth:''' [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-08-14 Sorry]]. Captain's orders. We need to keep collateral damage down. The shotgun is a good compromise.\ |

| 586 | -->''They say you giants live 400 years...that's really a '''best case''' scenario isn't it.'' |
| 587 | * Parodied when ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' suggests various [[https://xkcd.com/813/ phrases ordered by their "probability of becoming action movie one-liners"]], going from "''You're'' going down the memory hole now, asshole." (deemed the most likely) to successively more absurd ones, such as "Guess you should've scrolled ''all'' the way to the bottom before clicking 'agree'." |

| 636 | -->'''Azazel:''' You're old. Washed up. Your power is MINE.\ |
| 637 | '''Umbra:''' I don't think so. ''[puts Azazel in a NeckLift]'' I'm a Greater Demon. Absorbing me won't kill me. But, you're just an Eidolon. Granted a powerful one, but not a Greater Demon.

| 660 | '''Andrias:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Hey, thanks!]] [[FauxAffablyEvil You too!]]...[[OhCrap Wait, no!!!]] |
| 661 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': It's a RunningGag that eponymous hero and Film/JamesBond expy Archer is ''terrible'' at these. He usually winds up pausing and saying, "Wait ... damn. I had something for this." On one occasion when he was stumped he went with "Eat grenade, stupids!" |
| 662 | ** He has a great one at the end of "The Placebo Effect". |

| 684 | '''Numbuh Two:''' You gotta say something ''cool'' first! Like: ''[[BondOneLiner Say cheese, bub!]]'' Or ''Cheez to meet you!'' ''[Numbuh Five reaches over to press the button]'' Waitwaitwait! How about this one? Cheese! (BOOM!) |
| 685 | ** Zombified Numbuh 86 delivers one towards Numbuh 2 as she transforms him: "You're about to become as old as one of your jokes!" Numbuh Two again tries to give her some better ones to use until he's shut up by FacepalmOfDoom. |
