Anime & Manga

Van Hohenheim: Hello, Edward. You appear to have grown some. (Ed looks away in disgust) I spoke with Pinako. You tried human transmutation (gets Ed's attention for a moment).
Edward Elric: What makes you think you can show up like this? There's nothing left for you anymore!
Hohenheim: I noticed. Tell me, Edward. What possessed you to burn down my home?
Ed: After what happened, we vowed to never turn back. We did it as a symbol of our resolve.
Hohenheim: No, you didn't. You were hiding the memory. (Ed gasps) You didn't want to be reminded of what you'd done and thought you could erase the memory by destroying the evidence.
Ed: (beat) You're wrong!
Hohenheim: It's just like a child who hides the sheets after he wets the bed. You ran away... and you know it.

Films — Animation

Mufasa: Simba, I'm very disappointed in you.
Simba: I know...
Mufasa: You could have been killed! You deliberately disobeyed me! And what's worse — you put Nala in danger!
Simba: But I was just trying to be brave like you...
Mufasa: I'm only brave when I have to be. Simba, being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble.
Simba: But you're not scared of anything.
Mufasa: I was today.
Simba: You were?
Mufasa: Yes. I thought I might lose you.

Live-Action TV

Charles: I have done my best. My very best. And I am suffering.
Elizabeth: No, you are not suffering. We are all suffering having to put up with this. Let me make something clear. When people look at you and Diana, they see two privileged young people who through good fortune have ended up with everything one could dream of in life. No one, not a single breathing living soul anywhere, sees cause for suffering.
Charles: They would if they knew.
Elizabeth: Knew what? They know that you betray your wife and make no attempt to hide it. They know that thanks to you she has psychological problems and eats or doesn't eat, or whatever it is she does or doesn't do. They know you're a spoilt, immature man endlessly complaining. Unnecessarily. Married to a spoilt, immature woman endlessly complaining. Unnecessarily. And we are all heartily sick of it. All anyone wants is for the pair of you to pull yourselves together, stop making spectacles of yourselves and make this marriage, and make your enormously privileged positions in life, work.
Charles: And if I want to separate?
Elizabeth: You will not separate. Or divorce. Or let the side down in any way. And if one day you expect to be king...
Charles: I do.
Elizabeth: Then might I suggest you start to behave like one.

Where I come from, they call that being ashamed. Mr. Bigshot.

Web Animation

Mr. McNeely: You know what, Brittnay, I probably shouldn't say this, but you can be a real fucking bitch sometimes.
Brittnay: Wha—Wha— Mom?! Did you hear what he just said to me?!
Veronica: (calmly) Yeah, he said you can be a real fucking bitch sometimes. A real fucking bitch. Maybe you open your goddamn ears sometime, you could fucking learn something.

Taylor: You need to step your game up, mother! For serious!
Kelly: We're a team, Taylor.
Taylor: I know you're not used to winning like me, but maybe you need to follow my example more. Because...
Kelly: (FINALLY losing her patience) You've never won anything in your life, Taylor! NEVER!! Not one race. Not one medal. NO-THING!!!
Taylor: Wait, what?! My room is full of trophies and medals!
Kelly: Because your dad bought a trophy store! What kind of trophies come in the mail?! And guess who paid your coaches to lie? Yep! Daddy!
Taylor: (showing desperation) BEAUTY PAGEANTS!! I've won beauty pageants! You can't fake those!
Kelly: Oh, honey. When you have enough cash, you can fake anything! (Taylor gasps in shock)

Bill: I should've known we couldn't have family Christmas in a video game!
Cricket: Of course we can! We just need to fight off some super scary giant monsters first!
Bill: No... I've had ENOUGH. There's nothin' like a bunch of monsters to remind you that this isn't reality! The real reality —
Cricket: No, Dad, wait! We can —
Bill: The REAL reality is that my son didn't want to do our family traditions and BAILED ON US!!! Sometimes, you just gotta know when to throw in the decorative Christmas towel.
