8----
9
10* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'':
11** At the end of "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E15YesMen Yes Men]]", after [[GuestStarPartyMember Sif]] has managed to defeat [[VillainOfTheWeek Lorelei]], Lorelei (perhaps trying to commit SuicideByCop) starts taunting Sif about her lover who Lorelei once brainwashed into being her slave, only to be cut off when Sif slaps a PowerNullifier collar on her neck, literally shutting her up.
12--->'''Sif''': You were saying?
13** In "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E16EndOfTheBeginning End of the Beginning]]", the team finally confronts [[BigBad The Clairvoyant]] [[spoiler: (or rather, his decoy)]], who starts ranting about how his people will kill them all and take [[LivingMacGuffin Skye]], and there's nothing they can do to stop it... and is then silenced when [[spoiler: Ward shoots him dead]].
14** "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E17TurnTurnTurn Turn, Turn, Turn]]" combines this with KirkSummation when [[spoiler: Garrett]] is revealed as the true Clairvoyant [[spoiler: and a HYDRA mole]], and explains his motives to the less than impressed heroes.
15--->'''[[spoiler: Garrett]]''': Come on, this is me being honest, Phil.\
16'''Coulson''': No, [[spoiler: John]]. This is you being a psychopath.
17** In "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E22BeginningOfTheEnd Beginning of the End]]", after May beats [[spoiler: [[TheMole Ward]]]] by [[NailEm nailing his feet to the ground]], he starts to [[VillainsWantMercy plead with her]], only for her to punch him in the throat, cracking his larynx and literally shutting him up.
18** In the same episode, while a [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity now-insane]] [[spoiler: Garrett]] starts [[MotiveRant ranting]] about his power and purpose, Coulson and [[spoiler: Fury]] just ignore him and snark on how crazy he is.
19--->'''[[spoiler: Fury]]''': You didn't tell me he'd gone ''this'' crazy.\
20'''Coulson''': He's definitely taken it up a notch.
21** Still later in the same episode, [[EmergencyTransformation now-even-more]] [[OneWingedAngel mechanical]] [[spoiler: Garrett]] is [[ClippedWingAngel atomized by Coulson in the middle of his rant about how he will keep coming back]].
22** In "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS4E14TheManBehindTheShield The Man Behind the Shield]]", Coulson confronts DiscOneFinalBoss Anton Ivanov, the man who organized [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic the Watchdogs]] to destroy the Inhumans and SHIELD, out of a paranoid delusion that Coulson is using them to take over the world, which is itself rooted in a prior encounter the two of them had years earlier, when Coulson stole an artifact that Ivanov's SVR squad had been sent to steal. After he gives a MotiveRant explaining this to Coulson, Coulson responds by saying that he [[ButForMeItWasTuesday barely remembers the mission in question]], and that he finds it humorous that Ivanov has dedicated so much of his life to destroying someone who, prior to this, [[UnknownRival barely knew he existed]].
23** Season 4, "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS4E19AllTheMadamesMen All the Madame's Men]]". [[spoiler: Madame HYDRA, aka Aida]] is trying to give some demoralizing speech to May and Daisy about the team's true natures, while standing just in front of an elevator (the kind that runs along the outside of a building) on the 40th floor. Daisy quakes them out through the other side of the elevator. [[GravityIsAHarshMistress Gravity ensues]].
24* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': In "[[Recap/AngelS05E22NotFadeAway Not Fade Away]]", when Hamilton gains the upper hand over the vampire, he begins to boast about how he is part of the Senior Partners, ending with: "My blood is filled with their ancient power!" Angel picks himself up, and smiles almost pitying at him before saying [[spoiler:"Can you pick out the one word there you probably shouldn't have said?" and proceeding to drink from him, gaining a massive power boost.]] And then, with his GameFace still on, he gets another perfect one-liner after draining him. "Wow, you really are full of it." ''(licks his finger)''. There is one final one at the end of their fight, when Hamilton boasts: "We are legion. We are forever." Angel breaks Hamilton's grip, and proceeds to pound him saying "Then I guess forever, just got a hell of a lot shorter" [[spoiler: ending it with one final punch that [[MegatonPunch break's Hamilton's neck]]]].
25** In the middle of danger, Angel finally gets tired of [[HumanoidAbomination Illyria]]'s bizarre rants:
26-->'''Illyria:''' Do you know what you [humans] were [[TimeAbyss when I was young]]? You were the muck at our feet! We called you the Ooze That Eats Itself. You were pretty at night. You sparkled, and you ''[[HumansAreSmelly stank]]!'' You ''still'' stink of it!\
27'''Angel:''' Will you just shut up for once?!\
28'''Illyria:''' ''(taken aback)'' What?!\
29'''Angel:''' [[OhGodWithTheVerbing My God, the speechifying]]! Has it ever occurred to you that right now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?!
30* ''Series/Babylon5'': [[BewareTheNiceOnes Vir]] has a rather epic moment where [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu he flippantly responds]] to [[TheCorrupter Mr. Morden's]] ArmorPiercingQuestion. [[spoiler: Made even more epic a few seasons later when the scenario Vir describes actually happens, complete with a flashback to the original scene.]]
31-->'''Morden:''' What do you want?\
32'''Vir:''' I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that [[DealWithTheDevil some favors come with too high a price]]. I would look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this. ''[grins and wiggles fingers]'' Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?
33* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': Lee is confronting Phelan, the head of the fleet's Black Market. The black market gets things such as food and medical supplies to people who need them. But Phelan has also pressured people into giving up their children to be child prostitutes as payment, often for the medicines. Phelan gives Lee a MotiveRant ("It's hard to see the high ground when we're all standing in the mud...") and Lee points a gun at him. Phelan is completely unfazed, convinced that Lee won't shoot as they are not alike... and Lee [[PayEvilUntoEvil shoots him in the chest]]. He then tells Phelan's cronies that the child prostitution and the withholding of medicines stops NOW. If it doesn't, he'll know. And he'll be back.
34* ''Series/{{Blackadder}} Goes Forth'':
35** Done very bluntly in "[[Recap/BlackadderS4E4PrivatePlane Private Plane]]": on being caught by Baron von Richthoven, Captain Flashheart appears to listen to the Baron's gloating speech for about a minute before suddenly shooting him dead mid-sentence with the observation "WHAAAAAT a [[PrecisionFStrike POOF]]!"
36** Possibly to the point of being a subversion, since the Baron's speech is more along the lines of "Wow, I finally get to meet the great Lord Flashheart! As men of honour, we'll surely have so much in common and will have a glorious and dignified duel with each other!" than a BreakThemByTalking, not having realised that Flashheart [[CombatPragmatist is in it for England,]] not for personal glory or the love of combat.
37* ''[[Series/BlakesSeven Blake's 7]]'': Blake never gives Travis the respect he thinks he deserves.
38-->'''Travis:''' You'd better kill me, Blake. Until one of us is dead, there'll never be a time when I'm not right behind you.
39-->'''Blake:''' If not you, then somebody else. Killing you'll change nothing. [[NotWorthKilling You don't matter enough to kill, Travis]].
40* ''Series/BlueBloods'': In one episode, a serial rapist is holding Erin hostage at gunpoint and tells Frank to [[PutDownYourGunAndStepAway Put Down His Gun and Step Away]]. Frank shoots him in the head in mid-sentence.
41* ''Series/{{Bones}}'':
42** A double from the "Man in the Bear" episode involving, appropriately enough, a cannibal:
43--->'''Cannibal:''' ''(to Booth)'' You don't understand; it's a spiritual right to share the life force...\
44'''Booth:''' Look, you're nuts, okay? We get it. We don't need to hear the rambling psycho speech on why you did it.\
45'''Cannibal:''' ''(to Bones)'' You're an anthropologist. You know that ancient civilizations would sacrifice some in order to preserve the strength...\
46''(Bones knocks him out with a bedpan)''\
47'''Booth:''' What'd you do that for?\
48'''Bones:''' Nobody wants to hear that rambling psycho speech.
49** In the episode "The Man in the Morgue," set in UsefulNotes/NewOrleans, the killer starts going into a harangue about the power of Voodoo. Bones shuts him up by poking him in the eye.
50--->'''Bones:''' I've noticed that very few people are scary once they've been poked in the eye.
51** In "The Man on Death Row," while Bones and Booth face the revealed killer in prison, he begins a rant about how [[UnwittingPawn their actions have ensured the success of his plans and his continued life]]. When they turn to leave, he tries to stop them so he can continue his monologue... only for Brennan to break his arm on the table.
52** Christopher Pelant leaves a recording for the team that is playing after Booth shoots him, and the video is shut off since he’s dead and no one wants to listen.
53* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
54** In the episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E7LieToMe}} Lie To Me]]", Buffy's old friend is going to hand her and a bunch of innocent people over to Spike in exchange for being made a vampire. He gives Buffy a long speech about how he's dying and in pain. Buffy listens, and tells him she feels sorry for him... but if he goes through with it, she'll kill him herself. Commence ass-kicking.
55** This is something of a speciality of Buffy's. Buffy's sass has won out over even the most carefully constructed BreakThemByTalking.
56*** [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome "You have fruit punch mouth."]]
57** Season 3, "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E10Amends}} Amends]]":
58--->'''The First:''' I’m not a demon, little girl. I am something you cannot even ''conceive''. The First Evil. Beyond sin, beyond death. I am the thing the darkness fears. You’ll never see me but I am ''everywhere''. Every being, every thought, every drop of hate -\
59'''Buffy:''' All right, I ''get'' it. ''You're evil''. Do we have to chat about it all day?
60** One of her boyfriends picks up on it too. In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E12ANewMan A New Man]]", recurring human villain Ethan Rayne walks away while delivering a lecture on why Buffy can't kill him. He walks straight into Riley, who arrests him.
61** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E20Villains Villains]]", Warren Mears goes from villain to newly minted villain when Willow cuts Warren's excuses short, saying "Bored now." before flaying him alive and leaving him to die in the dirt.
62** Buffy's speech to the [[EliteMooks Turok-Han]] before fighting it in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E11Showtime Showtime]]". Notably, the Turok isn't even capable of speech, but it represents [[BigBad the First]], and in any case, the speech is more for the sake of raising morale among the Potentials, who are bearing witness.
63--->"Looks good, doesn't it? They're trapped in here. Terrified, meat for the beast, and there's nothing they can do but wait. That's all they've been doing for days, waiting to be picked off, having nightmares about monsters that can't be killed. But I don't believe in that. I always find a way. I'm the thing that monsters have nightmares about. And right now, you and me are gonna show 'em why.
64* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': At the end of "100", [[spoiler: partway through the epic final fight between Hotch and George Foyet, they've reached the living room, and Foyet has Hotch dazed on the floor. He pulls out his knife, but then menaces, "When I'm finished with you, I'm going to find that little bastard son of yours, and show him both of his dead parents. And tell him it's all your fault, and-" That's Foyet's last conjunction, as Hotch leaps off the floor and tackles him, Morgan-style, mid-sentence.]] Which is a preamble to the show's ultimate WhatYouAreInTheDark moment: [[spoiler: Hotch beating Foyet to death with his bare hands.]]
65* ''Series/CrossingJordan'': In ''Justice Delayed", Jordan has wrapped up a cold case investigation, but declines to pursue charges, following the wishes of the victim's widow. [[GoodOldBoy The]] [[SmugSnake perpetrator]] tries to see Jordan and Nigel off, showing off that he'd destroyed the murder weapon (which he kept the whole time for sentimental reasons) and getting in a couple of racist jabs for good measure. Jordan, having a hard enough time honoring the family's wishes and letting this bastard go, unloads on him, mixing in TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
66-->'''Jordan''': You think we're leaving because you beat us? Your plan to kill Jackson Avery was so ''numbingly stupid'' it took us two days to figure it out! ''Two days!'' The card game... The drinking... The gun that wasn't yours, the gun that ''was'' yours... The ''idiotic'' mistake with the birdshot... The faked-up autopsy... No, we're leaving because the Averys asked us to. You see, they're nicer people than us. [...] God, you were so close, you half-wit! One call to the state police, and I'd have you arrested and charged before nightfall! [...] And you know what? No all-white jury this time, ''bigot!'' You will be convicted; you will rot in prison!
67-->''[Nigel tries to pull her away, but she shrugs him off]''
68-->'''Jordan''': Or... Or you get in our car, and we drive to the Averys', where you will apologize to them for what you did forty years ago. And if they have questions, you will answer them, ''with respect.'' That's my offer. Your choice. Your move.
69-->[[spoiler: He apologizes.]]
70* ''Series/CSIMiami'':
71** One episode ended with a serial-killing sniper being arrested and asking if Caine wants to know why he did it. Caine declines with a Lecture To Hannibal:
72--->'''Caine''': Because you're evil, you enjoy death, I hope you enjoy your own.
73** Another Perp of the Week tried to intimidate Caine with a WeAreEverywhere speech. Caine replies calmly that since the perp's demonstrated himself as a known threat, everyone he's even remotely related to in any way has become a person of interest. Cue huge PerpWalk montage.
74** In a crossover with ''Series/{{CSINY}}'', a psychopath, after going on a killing spree in two states, thanks Mac for "looking after him" [[FreudianExcuse when no one else would]]. Mac tells him to shove it, saying that many people have had worse lives and didn't turn out evil.
75* ''Series/DarkAngel'': Max ("452") cuts short an opponent's pre-fight monologue in the series finale:
76-->'''Genetically Engineered Thug''': 452...\
77'''Max''': Just bring it!
78* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
79** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E8TheReignOfTerror "The Reign of Terror"]]: In episode 6, Robespierre is arrested. He is about to make a speech when he is shot in the jaw.
80** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E5TheDaemons "The Daemons"]] has the Doctor absolutely refusing to indulge the Master's EvilGloating.
81--->'''The Master:''' You realise, of course, that you're a doomed man, Doctor.
82--->'''The Doctor:''' Oh, I'm a dead man. I knew that as soon as I came through that door, so you'd better watch out. You see, I've nothing to lose, have I?
83** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E5PlanetOfFire "Planet of Fire"]] features this wonderful exchange when Peri first encounters the Master:
84--->'''The Master''': [[CatchPhrase I am the Master!]]\
85'''Peri:''' So what? I'm Perpugilliam Brown and I can shout just as loud as you can.
86*** Especially good as he was trying to hypnotize her at the time. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome It is also one of only two times where the Master fails to hypnotize a human being straight out]], and unlike the first of those instances (Jo prattling off nursery rhymes to block out the Master's hypnotism in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E3FrontierInSpace "Frontier in Space"]]), no reason for this is ever given. Apart from the fact that she can shout just as loud as he can.
87** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E1RemembranceOfTheDaleks Remembrance of the Daleks]]": The Doctor gets one of the greatest examples yet:
88--->'''Davros:''' I will transform Skaro's sun into a source of unimaginable power and with that power at my disposal the Daleks shall sweep away Gallifrey and its impotent quorum of Time Lords! The Daleks shall become lords of time! We shall become all--\
89'''The Doctor:''' Powerful! Crush the lesser races! Conquer the galaxy! Unimaginable power! [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Unlimited rice pudding!]] Et cetera, et cetera!
90** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E4TheGreatestShowInTheGalaxy The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]": Galactic explorer [[SmugSnake Captain Cook]] is [[SmallNameBigEgo bragging about all the planets he's been to]] while his werewolf associate tries to kill the Doctor:
91--->'''The Doctor:''' Captain Cook, you're not just a scoundrel and meddling fool! You're also a crushing ''bore!''
92** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E2GhostLight "Ghost Light"]]: Josiah Smith is explaining how he will rule the British Empire after he's assassinated Queen Victoria:
93--->'''Josiah Smith:''' The British Empire's an anarchic mess. There's no clear directive from the throne, no discipline. Result? Confusion, wastage. I can provide a new order. Wealth, prosperity...\
94'''The Doctor:''' ... confusion, wastage, tyranny, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking burnt toast]], till all the atlas is pink... ''[hums "Rule Britannia" and salutes]''
95** One of the most famous comes from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek Dalek]]":
96--->'''The Doctor:''' If you want orders, follow this one. Kill yourself.\
97'''Dalek:''' [[AC:The Daleks must survive!!]]\
98'''The Doctor:''' ''[literally foaming at the mouth]'' The Daleks have ''failed''! Now why don't you finish the job, and make the Daleks extinct?! Rid the universe of your filth! '''WHY DON'T YOU JUST ''DIE''?!'''\
99'''Dalek:''' ''[{{beat}}]'' [[AC:[[NotSoDifferentRemark You would make a good Dalek.]]]]
100** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E7TheLongGame "The Long Game"]]: The Ninth Doctor is captured by the Editor of an evil news channel, secretly controlling the thoughts of every single human.
101--->'''The Editor:''' Well, now, there's an interesting point. Is a slave a slave, if he doesn't know he's enslaved?\
102'''The Doctor:''' Yes.\
103'''The Editor:''' Oh, I was hoping for a philosophical debate. Is that all I'm going to get, "yes"?\
104'''The Doctor:''' Yes.
105** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E13ThePartingOfTheWays "The Parting of the Ways"]]: The first confrontation with the Dalek Emperor ends in a particularly epic one. When the Dalek Emperor begins a monologue about how he survived the Time War, the Doctor interrupts him with a flat "I get it", after which all the Daleks furiously state how he should never ever interrupt their Emperor. The Doctor's response:
106--->'''The Doctor:''' I think you're forgetting something. I'm the Doctor and if there is one thing I can do, it's talk. I've got five billion languages and you've got no way of stopping me. So if there is anybody who's going to shut up IT'S YOU!
107** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E9TheFamilyOfBlood "The Family of Blood"]]: The Headmaster, Mr. Rocastle, delivers a good one to Son of Mine. Son of Mine responds with his own "Shut up, Hannibal", before producing a gun and killing Mr. Philips, who had accompanied Rocastle outside.
108--->'''Son of Mine:''' War is coming. In foreign fields, war of the whole wide world, with all your boys falling down in the mud. Do you think they will thank the man who taught them it was glorious?\
109'''Rocastle:''' Don't you forget, boy, I've been a soldier; I was in South Africa. I used my dead mates for sandbags. I fought with the butt of my rifle when the bullets ran out and I would go back there ''tomorrow''! For King and Country!\
110'''Son of Mine:''' Etcetera, Etcetera. ''[kills Mr. Philips]'' Run along headmaster, run back to school. ''And send us Mr. Smith!''
111** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E12TheStolenEarth "The Stolen Earth"]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd "Journey's End"]]:
112*** After Davros tries another lecture:
113---->'''The Doctor:''' After all this time, after everything we saw, everything we lost, I have only one thing to say to you... ''BYE''!
114*** This:
115---->'''Davros:''' It is time we talked, Doctor, after so very long...\
116'''The Doctor:''' No no no no no, we're not doing the nostalgia tour! I want to know what's happening right here, right now.
117** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars "The Waters of Mars"]]: When the infected Andy Stone attempts to taunt the Doctor over the prophecy about his death by knocking three times, the Doctor uses the fact that Andy is now a ''water'' zombie to respond by electrocuting him.
118--->"Three knocks is all you're getting!"
119** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]] has a non-verbal villain-on-villain one. [[spoiler:The Master is gloating about how his Turn-Every-Human-Into-The-Master machine can now be used as a Transform-The-Returned-Time-Lords-Into-The-Master machine... and upon hearing this, Rassilon silently uses his Glowing Metal Gauntlet to undo the machine's effect, returning every human to their original state.]]
120** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E8LetsKillHitler "Let's Kill Hitler"]]: After the TARDIS crash-lands in Hitler's office, Rory eventually not only punches out the dictator, he quite literally tells him to shut up before locking him in a closet.
121--->"Shut up, Hitler!"
122** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E10TheTimelessChildren "The Timeless Children"]], the Master attempts to break the Doctor by revealing to her [[spoiler: [[TomatoInTheMirror that she's the Timeless Child]]]], briefly succeeding in putting her in a HeroicBSOD. However, she soon recovers and gives him a verbal smackdown that wipes the smug look right off his face.
123--->"You think you've broken me? You'll have to try harder than that. You've given me a gift of myself. You think that could destroy me? You think that makes me lesser? It makes me more. I contain multitudes, more than I ever thought or knew. You want me to be scared of it because you’re scared of everything, but I am so much more than you."
124* In the ''Series/{{Elementary}}'' episode "Sober Companion", SerialKiller Michael Rowan, who has cultivated a relationship with Franchise/SherlockHolmes, calls Sherlock to reveal that he's aware of the detective's PCS and therefore will temporarily give up murdering while he recovers. Sherlock is not in the mood for Rowan's FauxAffablyEvil act.
125-->'''Rowan:''' I'm going to go away for a while, but I'll be back. I want to give you time to get better. But while I'm away, you have my word I won't hurt anyone.\
126'''Holmes:''' [[SarcasmMode 'Cause your word means so much to me.]]\
127'''Rowan:''' I'm your friend, Sherlock. I'll never lie to you.\
128'''Holmes:''' You're going to die in prison. ''(hangs up)''
129* ''Series/Evil2019'': In the episode "Justice X 2", [[BigBad Leland]] starts on another rant to Kristen about how he's going to [[ToThePain kill her whole family and make her suffer]], only for her to curtly cut him off by stating he talks too much. She then proceeds to lay into him, revealing how she's uncovered his original identity as a nebbish loser in high school with two failed marriages behind him. Leland is left speechless and indignant, and can only walk away trembling in rage. He later vents about the event to his therapist, {{Baphomet}}, revealing just how much she threw him off kilter.
130* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'':
131** There are probably a lot of examples, but this one from "[[{{Recap/FireflyE02TheTrainJob}} The Train Job]]" stands out:
132--->'''Crow:''' Keep the money. Use it to buy a funeral. It doesn't matter where you go or how far you fly. I will hunt you down, and the last thing you see will be my blade.\
133'''Mal:''' Darn.\
134''[kicks Crow into ''Serenity''[='s=] engine]''
135*** Also in "Train Job":
136---->'''Lund:''' The In'e'pen'ents were a bunch of inbred, cowardly piss-pots. Should've been killed off of every world spinnin'.\
137'''Mal:''' ''[turns]'' Say that to my face.\
138'''Lund:''' I said you're a coward and a piss-pot. Now what are you gonna do about it?\
139'''Mal:''' ''[smiles]'' Nothing. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind you.\
140''[Lund turns, and Zoe knocks him out with the butt of her rifle]''
141** Similarly, in "[[{{Recap/FireflyE10WarStories}} War Stories]]", when Zoe deprives Niska of his speech when she chooses [[spoiler: to save Wash instead of Mal]].
142--->'''Zoe:''' Him. Oh, I'm sorry, you were going to ask me to [[SadisticChoice choose]], right? Do you want to finish?
143*** He then proceeds to [[spoiler:cut off Mal's ear, purely out of spite.]]
144** In "[[Recap/FireflyE01Serenity Serenity]]", where [[spoiler:Dobson]] is holding a gun to River's head, the Fed starts in on what he's going to do if anyone moves. Mal, who is just heading aboard the ship, ends the speech by shooting him in the head. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Without even breaking stride]].
145* ''Series/TheFollowing'': At the end of the pilot, [[BigBad Joe Carroll]]'s been recaptured, only for the existence of his cult to be revealed. When [[AntiHero Hardy]] asks what their plan is, Carroll responds that they're going to "write a sequel" (to the book Hardy wrote about Carroll's original killing spree and capture), and Hardy's going to help. Hardy's response?
146-->'''Hardy''': If this book ends in anything but your death, you better plan on a rewrite. (''[[{{Fingore}} Breaks three of Carroll's fingers]]'')
147* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'': At the end of "The Frustrating Thing About Psychopaths," Henry, annoyed with Adam taunting him about inevitably becoming a sociopath, flatly denies Adam's claims [[NotSoDifferentRemark that Henry is just like him]], and for good measure and emphasis throws the cell phone they've been communicating with into the river.
148* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
149** This exchange with Robb and Jaime:
150--->'''Jaime:''' Three victories don't make you a conqueror. \
151'''Robb:''' It's better than three defeats.
152** By the time Sansa finally escapes King's Landing, she's gotten such an education in the ways of the world that she's even able to talk to Littlefinger on his own level, and calls him on every time he tries his usual double talk.
153** Sansa gives a nice one to Myranda when the latter starts recounting all the women Sansa's husband-to-be has "gotten bored of".
154** Sansa delivers an ''excellent'' one to Ramsay just before she has him executed.
155** Sansa gives one to Littlefinger when he tries to give her another ForcefulKiss, brushing off his ambition as "a pretty dream."
156** Joffrey gets it a lot too. From Season 2, where Tyrion tries to knock some sense into him (wasn't the first time he tried, wouldn't be the last):
157--->'''Joffrey:''' They attacked me! \
158'''Tyrion:''' They threw a cow pie at you so you decide to kill them all? They're starving, you fool! All because of a war you started!\
159'''Joffrey:''' YOU'RE TALKING TO A KING!\
160''[Tyrion slaps Joffrey across the face]''\
161'''Tyrion:''' [[DiscussedTrope And now I've struck a king!]] Did my hand fall from my wrist?
162** In Season 6, Jaime gives one to Walder Frey in the season finale about how Walder Frey is no conqueror and would amount to ''nothing'' without relying on the Lannisters. Walder can only splutter in response.
163* ''Series/{{Glee}}'': Will gets a moment after Sue bursts into the Glee club's room with a trophy in her hand, loudly talking about how she'll turn it into a trophy room. After she gives a little rant about how they have no chance at Regionals, Will walks up to her, grabs the trophy out of her hands, then throws it against the room's wall, smashing it to pieces.
164* ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'': [[spoiler: Jack Crawford]] gives a good [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown one]] a long time coming to [[spoiler: [[TropeNamer Hannibal Lector]]. Not only for comeuppance for their last fight, but deceiving everyone into thinking Will Graham was a delusional murderer, imprisoning one of his trainees (whose arm he also amputated) in a well, turning a member of his BSU team into a cross-sectional display, encouraging his terminally ill wife into committing suicide, taunting Jack at her funeral with a condolences note, then attempting to provoke Jack during their next fight by [[TranquilFury mocking him over her death]]. It wouldn't be surprising if tricking him into eating people may have also played a part in it]]. The fact he literally set it to the tune of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJiiBq8UnIY&t=3m56s Rossini's "The Thieving Magpie"]]'' makes it all the more satisfying.
165* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': In the third volume finale, Sylar takes over the Company building in one long, drawn-out attempt to push its few remaining inhabitants over the edge and prove that they're all as bad as he is. It eventually reaches the point where makes an over-the-phone offer to let them go free if Claire will just be a dear and shoot Angela. Claire, enraged, threatens to kill him if she gets out alive:
166-->'''Sylar:''' ''(feigning shock)'' From cheerleader to stone-cold killer! Who's the monster now?\
167''(Claire pauses. She pumps the shotgun, looks at Angela, then suddenly turns and blows the phone away. Sylar stares at his cell phone as it beeps a busy signal at him.)''\
168'''Claire:''' You are.
169* ''Series/{{House}}'': Cole finally earns House's respect when he counters House's mind games by [[TalkToTheFist punching him in the jaw]].
170* ''Series/{{Justified}}'': The [[VillainousBreakdown increasingly unstable]] mobster Quarles approaches Raylan in a bar and tells him that he is going to kill him sometime in the future when Raylan least expects him. Raylan's response is to pull out his gun and fire a shot into the ceiling:
171-->'''Raylan''': Why wait?

173* ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'': Tsukasa is a master of this, to the point it happens at least once per story arc, normally leading to his CatchPhrase "I'm just a passing through Kamen Rider, remember that!"
174* ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'': Det. Robert Goren's {{archnemesis}} Nicole Wallace taunts Goren about his schizophrenic mother and his neglectful, philandering father on various occasions, only to have Goren turn the tables on her each time. In "Anti-Thesis" and "A Person of Interest", Goren switches the topic to Nicole's sexually abusive father. In "Great Barrier", the following exchange takes place when Goren accuses Nicole of [[spoiler:murdering her own daughter]]:
175-->'''Nicole:''' Who helped you concoct that theory, [[YourMom your mother]]?\
176'''Goren:''' In her wildest delusions she never spawned anything like you, Nicole.
177* At the climax of the ''Series/LeverageRedemption'' episode "[[Recap/LeverageRedemptionS1E6TheCardGameJob The Card Game Job]]", Breanna of Team Leverage is playing a collectible card game with CorruptCorporateExecutive Jim Cordozar, who owns a drug that cures a deadly disease but has been WithholdingTheCure to increase his profits. When Cordozar [[MotiveRant expounds]] on his [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] worldview, Breanna responds with a combination of this trope and ArmorPiercingQuestion.
178-->'''Cordozar:''' That's why you're gonna lose this tournament. You're so worried about being "nice". You want to be a winner in this world? You take, and take, and take, and you don't look back. You don't worry about who gets hurt or who likes you. You have to be willing to be a killer.\
179'''Breanna:''' Like killing kids who can't afford your drugs?
180* ''Series/TheLibrarians2014'': In the Season 1 finale, "And The Loom of Fate", [[BigBad Dulaque]] and [[MissionControl Jenkins]] engage in a sword duel, during which Dulaque expresses his belief that [[HobbesWasRight the world is better off with an iron fist ruling it, since the masses can't do so properly]]. Jenkins responds by pointing out that, contrary to Dulaque's recollections, the old days were chaotic, and then firmly stating that people have earned the right to rule themselves.
181-->'''Jenkins''': Really? Wild magic, cruel kings, mad wizards? [[SarcasmMode Yes, it was a]] ''[[SarcasmMode pip!]]''\
182'''Dulaque''': The people need to be ruled by wisdom. [[TotalitarianUtilitarian The stupid, little humans need to be ruled by kings!]]\

184* ''Series/{{MASH}}'': In one episode, army psychiatrist Major Sidney Freedman does this (sort of) to Colonel Flagg when Flagg refuses to believe his claim that a combat-fatigued pilot is a victim:

186* ''Series/TheMentalist'':
187** Watching Patrick Jane in action has made his colleagues less awed by others doing a SherlockScan:
188--->'''Dr. Daniel:''' You're ambitious, more than you let anyone see. A girl from nowheresville, desperate to make it big, but you're worried that you'll always be smalltown, smalltime. You haven't got what it takes, and that's why you're so shut down to everything but this job.\
189'''Van Pelt:''' Dr. Daniel, no offense, but I've been working with Patrick Jane for nine months now. You wanna get under my skin, you're gonna have to up your game.
190** When Patrick Jane finally comes face-to-face with Red John, this little exchange takes place:
191--->'''Red John:''' You probably have a lot of questions for me, huh? We have time, if you want.\
192'''Patrick Jane:''' I have no questions. You're an evil, sexually perverted sociopath with pathetic delusions of grandeur. The rest is just details.\
193'''Red John:''' Evil, sexually perverted sociopath? Well, I guess I have to own that, but... Delusions of grandeur? No. I have no delusions. I built a secret empire, I control the lives of thousands of people; my word is life and death... And nobody knows who I am. Now, if that's not grandeur, I don't know what you call it!\
194'''Patrick Jane:''' ...I call it the ravings of a squalid egomaniac.
195* ''Series/MidnightMass2021'': When Erin holds a vampiric [[TheHeavy Bev]] at gunpoint, Bev condescendingly says that if Erin shoots her she'll [[HealingFactor just be back up in five minutes]]. Erin promptly shoots her, and quips to the rest of her group "We've got five minutes" before they flee.
196* ''Series/{{Monk}}'': At the end of the episode "Mr. Monk is on the Run", Monk confronts his arch-nemesis Dale the Whale, who is in prison due to Monk's actions. Dale gloats at Monk, telling him that while ''he'' (Dale) is in jail, it's ''Monk'' who is a prisoner, trapped by is own hang-ups and neurosis. Monk looks at Dale, then simply turns his back and walks away:
197-->'''Dale:''' Hey! Come back here! ''I'm not finished!''\
198'''Monk:''' ''(quietly)'' Oh yes, you are.
199* ''Series/TheNanny'': The episode "Sunday in the Park with Fran", Maxwell Sheffield and C.C. Babcock, his business partner, try to curry favor with theatre critic Frank Bradley by having Maxwell's daughter Gracie go on a play-date with the critic's son, Frank Jr., even though Gracie insists she doesn't like him and Fran supports her. During the play-date, Fran hits Frank Jr. with a baguette because he was bullying Gracie, so Maxwell arranges for a meeting with Frank Sr. for Fran to apologize. But when he becomes incredibly hostile towards Fran, Maxwell decides enough is enough:
200-->'''Maxwell:''' You know, Frank, I'm getting bloody tired of kissing up to you...\
201'''C.C.:''' ''[interrupting]'' I'm not. Let me do it...\
202'''Maxwell:''' Miss Fine was right from the beginning. I should never have forced my little girl to play with your son. Quite clearly, he deserved everything he got. And I don't care for what you think of my play, and frankly, I don't care much for you, either. Now, let me show you the door. ''[gesturing behind him without turning]'' It's over there.
203* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'':
204** Delivered a very effective one to Abby's StalkerWithACrush without saying a word; as he's being interrogated at the end, the stalker keeps addressing the two-way mirror, taunting Abby with claims that they're drawn to each other -- "Right now, you can't take your eyes off me, can you?" Gibbs responds to this by leaving the interrogation room, reaching into the other, and flipping on the lights, revealing that ''nobody's'' there watching. [[BigNo Loser stalker doesn't take it well]]. It's a particularly interesting variant since the intended recipient of the lecture was Abby and not Gibbs, making this an example by never having been there in the first place.
205* ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'': A recent storyline had Susan stalked by someone who turned out to be her University lecturer, who blamed her for failing him when he was a student teacher at Erinsborough High. Despite the hell he had put her in recent weeks, Susan refused to take any crap from him, telling him that he had no one to blame but himself for repeated failures to learn from his mistakes.
206* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': When Team Machine captured Root and placed her in a Faraday Cage with no way of contacting the Machine, she tries to guilt Harold into releasing her on the basis that her occupation is against the Machine's wishes. Harold's reply leaves her speechless and unable to answer.:
207-->'''Root:''' You're only gonna make her angry. Can you imagine what a being that powerful will do when she's angry?
208-->'''Harold:''' How can you be so certain, Ms. Groves, that the Machine does not wish for you to be precisely where you are?
209* ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'':
210** Summer's reaction to one of Tenaya's typical rants:
211--->'''Summer:''' Excuse me, my parents are visiting, can we skip all the bad guy bla-bla-bla?
212** Tenaya tries a BreakingSpeech against Flynn in "Ranger Blue," attempting to play on his old doubts about his past where NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished. It doesn't take, because Flynn is a Power Ranger, and is finally in a position where being a brave hero and selfless protector of the weak is ''absolutely'' what the situation calls for. His rebuttal is as brief as it is hilarious.
213--->'''Tenaya:''' Red is [[StandardizedLeader the perfect one]], Black is [[ClassicalAntiHero the brooding bad boy]], Green is [[PluckyComicRelief the clown]], and Yellow, well, she's [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the girl]]. So, who are you supposed to be?\
214'''Flynn:''' (*picks up Tenaya and throws her to one side*) ''[[HotBlooded Ah'm]] '''[[BraveScot Scottish]]!'''''
215* ''Series/PrisonBreak'': After Mahone's HeelFaceTurn his son is killed out of retribution. Mahone captures the man who did it, gets insanely brutal in torturing him until he calls Mahone's wife and apologizes, then leads him to a dock tied to a bunch of weights. The killer starts a speech to Mahone about how [[NotSoDifferentRemark they aren't any different]], only for Mahone to push him into the water after just a few words.
216* ''Series/ProdigalSon'': Near the end of the Season 1 finale "Like Father...", [[BigBad Nicholas]] [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Endicott]] is gloating to Malcolm about how his [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney money]] and [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections]] make him untouchable, and how he'll destroy the Whitly family for daring to stand against him... when suddenly [[spoiler: Ainsley comes up behind him and slits his throat, before violently stabbing him a few more times to finish him off]].
217* ''Series/TheRatPatrol'' episode "[[Recap/TheRatPatrolS2E21TheFieldOfDeathRaid The Field of Death Raid]]" has a wordless variation. Sgt. Troy pulls a gun on the Rats' prisoner Lt. Hardt, who responds by lecturing him on Nazi superiority while taking out a mirror to light a cigarette.
218-->'''Hardt:''' You won't shoot; you're an American. Americans are too sentimental. Now if I were in your position, I would shoot without hesitation. That's why we eventually will win this war!\
219[Troy shoots mirror out of Hardt's hand]\
220'''Hardt (astonished):''' You shot at me...
221* ''Series/{{Revolution}}'': Danny has given this to Captain Tom Neville in "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E2ChainedHeat Chained Heat]]" and "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E5SoulTrain Soul Train]]", and Neville is not happy about it. [[WouldHurtAChild At all.]] Fortunately, Neville is under orders to keep Danny alive, so Danny is not worried about being harmed or killed as a result.
222* ''Series/RobinOfSherwood'': In the episode "The Sheriff of Nottingham", the Sheriff gets a lengthy speech explaining that he hates Robin's band because they think so highly of themselves, and that he hates the legend that has inexplicably grown up around them when they're just a bunch of thieves. Robin replies "But you haven't told us the ''real'' reason you hate us. You're scared of us."
223* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'':
224** Cox's therapist gave him a BreakThemByTalking after Cox constantly made fun of him instead of listening. It went about something like why Cox is how he is and how pathetic and sad he really is behind his mean front. Dr. Cox replied with crying like a baby in an overly sarcastic manner, saying "Give me a break" and leaving.
225** Later Laverne gives Cox one, so it goes both ways.
226** Cox also gave one to [[BadBoss Chief of Medicine Dr. Kelso]]. Cox comes upon Kelso giving a BreakingSpeech to NaiveNewcomer Dr. Reid. Cox interrupts by punching out Kelso, telling Reid that she's doing a great job, then goes home to spend some time with his baby son.
227** Cox is also on the receiving end when, after a case-study J.D has conducted is selected by Kelso to be delivered at an important medical conference, Cox delivers a nasty TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to J.D about how this basically makes him Kelso's bitch. Visibly hurt, J.D retorts that there's nothing wrong with playing the game every so often, and that while he respects and admires Cox, he also wants to be more successful than he is. Cox is left visibly taken aback not just by J.D standing up to him for once, but by J.D's implication that Cox's own stubbornness and anti-authoritarian streak, which he's always been proud about, has stalled and perhaps even destroyed his career.
228* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':
229** In the episode "[[Recap/SmallvilleS07E06Lara Lara]]", Clark Kent gets exposed to kryptonite and falls on his face. A government agent approaches him with handcuffs and rants about how aliens are all dangers to national security, only for Clark to pop up and deck him.
230** "[[Recap/SmallvilleS06E18Progeny Progeny]]":
231--->'''Lex''': Don't let your mother make you do something you will later reg-\
232'''Chloe''': ''([[GirlWithPsychoWeapon Fires]] {{BFG}})''
233** In the episode "[[Recap/SmallvilleS04E08Spell Spell]]", the evil witch Isobel mocks Clark, ranting about how his powers are nothing compared to her reality-bending magic, only for Clark to incinerate her spellbook with a shot of heat vision.
234** Lionel Luthor gets at least one too. In one ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''-like episode, called "[[Recap/SmallvilleS05E19Mercy Mercy]]", a crazy employee is forcing Lionel to go through an obstacle course to fight for his life while boasting over a loudspeaker about how Lionel will probably die instead of escaping. At one point, Lionel's captor asks "So have you learned anything yet?", to which Lionel sneers "Yeah. You talk too much. Shut up," right before successfully completing the task at hand and moving to the next stage of the obstacle course.
235** SubvertedTrope in the episode "[[Recap/SmallvilleS10E03Supergirl Supergirl]]". Gordon Godfrey is giving a villainous speech about how humans are frail and pathetic and that heroes cannot accomplish anything when Clark orders him to cut the crap and tell him where Lois Lane is being held prisoner. Godfrey ignores him and continues where he left off, causing Clark to lose his temper.
236** [[AlternateUniverse Earth-2]] [[AxeCrazy Lionel Luthor]] spends half of Season 10 tormenting the E-1 counterpart of his daughter Tess, saying that she's worth nothing and the only good she is to him is as a [[OffingTheOffspring necessary sacrifice]] so that her heart can be put into the body of the Lex clone. Tess, who couldn't bring herself to kill her own father, alternate version or not, finally snaps when he actively tries to murder her, and shuts him up quite effectively by shooting him in the chest.
237* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
238** In the episode "[[Recap/StargateSG1S6E11Prometheus Prometheus]]", there is a wonderful exchange between Simmons and Conrad [[spoiler:after they stole the Prometheus]]:
239--->'''Simmons:''' Bridge to engine room, come in.\
240'''Conrad:''' What is it?\
241'''Simmons:''' Are we gonna get into hyperdrive any time soon, here?\
242'''Conrad:''' I'm working on it. The design is incredibly crude. It amazes me that a race as backward as yours could even think of attempting interstellar travel.\
243'''Simmons:''' Spare me the super-villain riff. We're on the clock here.
244** There's also this exchange between Heru'ur and O'Neill:
245--->'''Heru'ur:''' [[WhoDares You DARE]] DEFY ME?\
246'''O'Neill:''' I was thinkin' about it. ''[throws knife into Heru'ur's ribbon device]''
247** O'Neill is fond of these.
248--->'''Ba'al:''' You ''dare'' MOCK me?\
249'''O'Neill:''' Come on, Ba'al, [[DeadpanSnarker you know me]]. Of ''course'' I dare mock you!
250* ''Franchise/StargateVerse'': The heroes don't put up with the [[LargeHam hammy villains]]. O'Neill is probably the exemplar here.
251* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': In the episode "[[{{Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E22SkinOfEvil}} Skin of Evil]]", Picard gives an epic speech to Armus, the malicious being who murdered Tasha Yar and tortured Riker and [[EvilGloating gloated about it]] to a trapped Counselor Troi:
252-->'''Picard''': You say you are true evil? Shall I tell you what true evil is? It is to submit to you. It is when we surrender our freedom, our dignity, instead of defying you.
253-->'''Armus''': I will kill you and those in there.
254-->'''Picard''': But you will still be in this place. Forever, alone, immortal. (Armus begins growling) That's your real fear, never to die. Never again to be united with those who left you here. ([[VillainousBreakdown Armus begins screaming]]) I'm not taking you anywhere.
255* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Had an EvilVersusEvil variant with two Borg cubes hailing Species 8472 in one of the shortest (and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funniest]]) teaser openings ever:
256-->'''Borg''': "We are the Borg. Existence as you know it is over. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. [[NothingCanStopUsNow Resistance is fu]]--"
257-->[[CurbStompBattle [Species 8472 promptly obliterates]] [[NotSoInvincibleAfterAll both cubes.] ]]
258** In "[[{{Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E8NothingHuman}} Nothing Human]]", The Doctor does this to a hologram of Crell Moset when he, a Cardassian physician who used questionable methods in his medical research, tries to defend his work, which The Doctor made use of.
259--->'''Crell Moset:''' You can erase my program Doctor, but you can never change the fact that you've already used some of my research. Where was your conscience when B'Elanna was dying on that table? Ethics, Morality, conscience -- funny how they all go out the airlock when we need something. Are you and I really so different?\
260'''The Doctor:''' Computer, delete medical consultant program and all related files.
261* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'':
262** Dean Winchester isn't about to fall for "that sympathy-for-the-devil crap," not even when the ''actual'' Devil tries it on him. But then, Dean is a simple man and figures that if someone [[spoiler: unleashes a supernatural plague that turns people into monsters and thereby causes the complete collapse of civilisation as we know it,]] then no matter how much he tries to argue that HumansAreBastards and that God was unfair to him, he's still what is commonly known as "the bad guy."
263** Jessie, the [[spoiler: AntiAntiChrist]] tells the Demon who is possessing his mom to sit down and shut up, who was in the process of telling him that everyone he ever knew lied to him. This is after Sam tried telling the truth. After Sam tells him the truth, Jessie banishes the demon from his mother. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for the little guy too.
264** In "[[Recap/SupernaturalS04E05MonsterMovie Monster Movie]]", Dean responds to the {{Monster Of The Week}}'s MotiveRant with "you ever think maybe you're lonely because ''you kill people?''"
265** Dean also does this to Zachariah in "[[Recap/SupernaturalS05E18PointOfNoReturn Point of No Return]]":
266--->'''Zachariah''': You listen to me. You are nothing but a maggot inside a worm's ass! Do you know who I am... after I [[spoiler:deliver you to Michael?]]\
267'''Dean''': Expendable.\
268'''Zachariah''': Michael's not gonna kill ''me.''\
269'''Dean''': Maybe not. [[spoiler:But I am]].
270** Villain-to-villain example in "[[Recap/SupernaturalS05E19HammerOfTheGods Hammer of the Gods]]":
271--->'''Gabriel''': Lucifer, you're my brother and I love you, but ''you are a great big bag of dicks.''
272* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S2E29TheObsoleteMan The Obsolete Man]]" Wordsworth gets quite a few moments of this in his trial, frequently interrupting the Chancellor's praise of the State with furious reprimands and attacks. In one particularly powerful example, Wordsworth stops a tirade about how the State proved the God does not exist with a blunt "You cannot erase God with an ''edict!''"
273* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'': It's pretty common, particularly where Stefan is concerned. The vampires like to tell each other how much they suck, to the point that some of them just get sick of it. One particular moment is when Katherine asks Stefan and Damon how Elena feels about having them both worship her. Stefan tells her that she's ''really'' desperate if she's going for that.
274* ''Series/TheWalkingDead2010'': The Season 5 episode "[[{{Recap/TheWalkingDeadS05E08Coda}} Coda]]" opens with Rick chasing down the cop they were holding hostage, who had attacked Sasha and escaped. He warns him to stop; when he doesn't, he runs him over with a car. Then this exchange occurs:
275-->'''Bob Larson:''' You'll die! You'll all- (Rick [[BoomHeadshot shoots]] [[KilledMidSentence him]])\
276'''Rick:''' Shut up.
277* ''Series/TheWire'':
278** Omar, a stick-up man who robs drug dealers ([[WouldNotShootACivilian but has never harmed anyone not involved in the drug game]]) is testifying at the trial of a drug enforcer accused of murdering a state's witness. [[AmoralAttorney Drug Lawyer]] Levy tries to first undermine Omar's credibility by hinting that he's only testifying to get out of some other charge, (which is untrue) then attempts to paint Omar as an amoral parasite who feeds off the violence, death, and corruption of the drug world. Omar shuts him down by casually pointing out that description applies to Levy too:
279--->'''Levy:''' You are amoral, are you not? You are feeding off the violence and the despair of the drug trade. You are stealing from those who themselves are stealing the lifeblood from our city. You are a parasite who leeches off...\
280'''Omar:''' Just like you, man.\
281'''Levy:''' ...the culture of drugs... excuse me? What?\
282'''Omar:''' [[Awesome/TheWire I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. S'all in the game, though, right?]]
283** In the final episode, when [[spoiler:Cheese is making a speech about how the Prop Joe and Marlo had had "their time" and now it is his time to take over. Well, he would have got to that part had Slim Charles not decided to make "his time" quite short]].
284
