Shinji Suzuki: So let me recap, this school was trying to cover up the bullying. And it was done at the behest of the principal, who went into hiding until this all blow over. Is that right?

If you continue to act in this manner, I'll simply punish your party members in your place. (Naofumi slowly walks towards the king) What do you think you are doing!? You fool! I'll-
Naofumi Iwatani: (Slams his arm against the back of the throne, just next to his face. Their faces were an inch apart.) You just did the only thing you shouldn't have done. You threatened my family. My woman, my sons, my daughters. I have half a mind to kill you right here and now. Do you understand me?

Vegeta: Your purpose in this meeting was to intimidate Bulma. There's no other explanation for your presence today.
Martin: You don't know what you're talking about-
Vegeta: Of course I know! I know because I had to do the exact same thing at every negotiation I was ordered to attend. I intimidated, I coerced and, when that didn't work, I killed. That's your job, isn't it?
Martin: I-I ... L-look, fella. I was just supposed to scare the woman a little. I wasn't going to hurt her-
Vegeta: Why would your colleague make the recommendation against bringing up the names of my son and daughter? What else were you prepared to do?!
[Martin attempts to shoot Vegeta, but is disarmed and his wrist is broken]
Vegeta: I take Bulma and my children's safety very seriously. No one threatens them and expects to live. I'm going to kill you.
Martin: Pluh-please don't-
Vegeta: You can't reason with me. You can't bribe, you can't beg. This is what I'm trained to do. Of all people, you should understand that best. You threatened my family and now you're going to pay the price. The only downside is that I can't use any ki or the others would sense it. Fortunately, I don't need any powers for this.

Your eyes narrow; your nostrils flare.
He wants to hurt your baby?
He's going to have to fight for it.

Now, just because [Peter] didn't need to be Spider-Man anymore doesn't mean he couldn't be Spider-Man. And this particular villain already knew who was behind the mask.

Don't mess with a dad.

Mikey: What did you do to my door?
Splinter: My son, you were screaming, not responding to your brothers, and your door was locked. I did what any father would do when something is blocking his path to get to his distressed child. I removed it. I do apologize for adding on more work for you, Donatello.
Raph: Uh, Sensei? I think ya did more den just removed it. Ya freakin’ punched a metal door in!
Mikey: You PUNCHED my door down?!
Splinter: Of course I did. One of my children was in trouble.

"'Sides, she livens up the place when she comes in like she's from a crime movie and acts all serious. The drunkards trying to hit on the eight-inch dame also are a hilarious sight to see." Kaji pauses as he redoubles his attention on the barkeep.
"Hits on."
"Yup."
"As in they flirt with her."
"That's what that tends to mean, yeah."
"With the intent to romance her."
"Uh….. yeah?"
"Do you have their names by chance?" The barkeep pauses at the sudden question.
"What? Why?" Kaji leans in close to the barkeep, his face the picture of stone-cold fury and his voice low and deep.
"Because despite how small that girl is she is only thirteen years old not to mention she's a mini version of a girl who I consider like a daughter. So I would very much like to meet these drunkards who think they can flirt with teenagers without any consequences."

"I... have one rule," Peter B. said coldly, "Nobody dies." He stepped up, balling his hands into fists. "I will BREAK it if you touch a hair on her head."

Ferguson: It's my job to protect him.
Cadbury: Yes very well Mr. Ferguson, but grab him like that again and it is YOU who will need protecting.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

    Literature 
Marquis: So. Do we discuss business first or do we conduct meaningless small talk?
Teacher: A few minutes ago, I would have said ‘business’. But I’ve had enough business for a time. Is your family well?
Marquis: By the by, if you bring up my daughter again, Teacher, I’ll lobotomize you.
Teacher: Noted.
Marquis: Needle up one nostril, jab the front of the brain, scrape… I digress. There’s no way for you to mention her without it sounding like a threat, so I’d rather you avoid the topic.

Lady Damodara's chuckle this time had a bit of humor to it. "Look at it this way, Rajiv. When it's over, if we survive we can look at Skandagupta on a stake."
"You think so?" asked Rajiv
"Oh, yes," said the lady serenely.
Lady Sanga sniffed, "Mayby. By the time he gets here, Rajiv your father's temper will be up. They'll need toothpicks. I doubt if even Lord Damodara will be able to restrain him enough to keep some portion of Skandagupta's body suitably sized for a stake."

"Even so, Father called on his men to take arms and follow him to the strand. They were the half score who had work around here today. Others who would have rallied were elsewhere fishing, sealing, or readying their farms for the season. Tough warriors at need, they could not hold off the strangers; but while they died, the women, children, and lesser housefolk could flee into the woods."
Poul Anderson, Mother of Kings

"The idea of someone harming [my son] didn't just worry me, it offended me."
Simon Darcourt, A Snowball in Hell

Archer: I can't forget that saving those children... it's not really a happy ending. A lot of them lost their parents, and they'll all be traumatized for a long time to come. I knew the Malurians could be ruthless, but this...
T'Pol: The goal was to enrage the Tandarans. Jeopardizing children is an effective way of provoking an intense emotional reaction from most humanoids. [Beat] Including Vulcans.

Sending a bolt of healing energy toward his daughter, he then turned his rage on her captor. Everyone still standing in the meadow was knocked to the ground as a huge crimson fire-wolf, its eye blazing with a feral brilliance, burst into being overhead.

"Shouldn't have hurt the herd, you bastard. Oh your Bible this, and oh your Bible that, and all you have to do is read The Book Of Good Farming to know that you never... never... never hurt the herd."
Wolf, The Talisman

"You need to take a deep breath, try to relax," said Buddy solemnly. "You'll make yourself sick. Believe me, I know."
Jed remembered the description of the blacked, bloodied towels and registered the way Buddy Carson's teeth were streaked brown with nicotine, his gums a vivid purple. I'll bet you know all about sickness, he thought. I'm glad that you're leaving, but if I find out that it was you that made my boy sick, I'll hunt you down, you fuck. I'll hunt you down and I'll take a knife to you, and then you won't have to worry about bloody towels, or your teeth falling out of your head, or your ragged fucking nails cracking and disintegrating, because I'll tear you apart, I swear to god I will.
"We came to the mall because my grandson wanted some Ninja Turtles figures," Popsy whispered, and his breath was like flyblown meat. "The ones they show on TV. All the children want them. You should have left him alone. You should have left us alone."

"Underestimate the power of gravity, if you like; underestimate how many bullets you need to take out a chimera. But never, if you value your life, underestimate what a parent will do for the sake of preserving a child."
Alexander Healy, Half-Off Ragnarok

"His face hardened, and I knew then that I had him, that he'd follow me into Hell to get at whoever had hurt his wife and child. I had him all right - and I hated myself for it. Way to go, Harry. Jerk those heartstrings like a fucking puppeteer."
Harry Dresden on Michael Carpenter, Grave Peril

Everyone was really, really happy about the baby... but not Dad.
He started shouting and shouting. He shouted at Louise, saying really mean things — that the baby would cry and ruin our holiday, just like Barney had ruined last year's holiday. He said that Louise was stupid for having another baby, when she couldn't manage the ones she had already...
He started shouting at Lily and Barney... And he kicked Buster...
Jason told Dad he was right out of order and pushed Dad. Then Dad pushed him back. Grandpa Fred told Jason to just calm down and Jason told him to keep out of it.
Something Different About Dad: How to Live With Your Asperger's Parent, Chapter 4

Ron Weasley: Well, you can't break an Unbreakable Vow.
Harry Potter: I'd worked that much out for myself, funnily enough. What happens if you break it, then?"
Ron Weasley: You die. Fred and George tried to get me to make one when I was about five. I nearly did too, I was holding hands with Fred and everything when Dad found us. He went mental. Only time I've ever seen Dad as angry as Mum, Fred reckons his left buttock has never been the same since.

"My son has a tiny scratch on his cheek, and now, by extraordinary coincidence so do you. I'm holding you personally responsible for anything that happens to him whether it's your fault or not. Cold, sunburn, scratched knee, what ever happens to him, happens to you, and then some. For not only are you not coming after him, you gonna make sure that he lives a long, healthy life. You just became his godfather, understand? ...Oh, and one more thing. College fund? Start saving. I got my heart set on Notre Dame."
Angel, "Dad"

[Angel speaks to Wesley in the hospital]
Angel: Hey, Wes. I just... I want you to know I understand why you did it. I know about the prophecies and I know how hard it must have been for you to... do what you did. You thought I was gonna turn evil and kill my son. I didn't. It's important you know that. This isn't Angelus talking. It's me, Angel. You know that, right?
[Wesley nods slightly in understanding]
Angel: Good. [angrily grabs a pillow and tries to smother Wesley] Son of a bitch, you're gonna pay for what you did! You took my son! You son of a bitch! You bastard! You think I'd forgive you?! NEVER! You're gonna DIE, you hear me?! You're gonna PAY!
[an orderly comes in and tries to drag Angel away, only to be flung off]
Angel: You took my son! YOU TOOK MY SON!!

Fred: Stop it!
Angel: You took my son!
Gunn: Angel, stop! [he and the orderlies drag Angel away]
Angel: Never! NEVER!

Julius: No, you supposed to be scared cause if you ever put your hands on my son again, you ain't goin' to jail, (holds up baseball bat) I'm goin' to jail.

Molly Solverson: Will you call home for me? Let Gus know that... tell him it's gonna be all night.
Lou Solverson: Screw that. Getting my gun, is what I'm doing. Go sit on the front porch, make sure my granddaughter's safe.

Jayne: What are you takin' it so personal for? It's not like I ratted you out to the Feds!
Mal: Oh, but you did, Jayne. You turn on ANY OF MY CREW, you turn on me! But since that's a fact you can't seem to wrap your head around, you've got no place here.

Lord Karstark: When your son returns, I will demand this murderer's head!
Catelyn Stark: Wise men do not make demands of kings!
Lord Karstark: Fathers who love their sons do. I will have his head.

Leo: The babies are okay?
Toby: The babies are fine. And if someone was hurting them I'd drop napalm on Yellowstone to get them to stop, letting some prisoners out of jail wouldn't be nothing, and I've known my kids for about forty-five minutes.

Burt: Hey! What did you just call him?
Finn: Oh, no, I didn't call him anything. I was just talking to the blanket.
Burt: You use that word, you're talking about him.
Kurt: Relax, dad, I didn't take it that way.
Burt: Yeah, that's because you're 16 and you still assume the best in people. You live a few years, you start seeing the hate in people's hearts. Even the best people. [to Finn] You use the N word?
Finn: Of course not.
Burt: How about "retard"? You call that nice girl on the Cheerios with Kurt, you call her a retard?
Finn: Becky? No, she's my friend. She's got Down's Syndrome. I'd never call her that, that's cruel.
Burt: But you think it's okay to come in my house and say "faggy"?
Finn: But that's not what I meant.
Burt: I know what you meant! What, you think I didn't use that word when I was your age? You know, some kid gets clocked in practice we tell him to stop being such a fag, shake it off. We meant it exactly the way you meant it. That being gay is wrong. That's some kind of punishable offense. I really thought you were different, Finn. You know, I thought that being in Glee Club, and being raised by your mom, meant that you were some, you know, new generation of dude who saw things differently. Who just kinda, you know, came into the world knowing what it's taken me years of struggling to figure out. I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry Finn, but you can't, you can't stay here.
Kurt: Dad.
Burt: I love your mom and maybe this is gonna cost me her, but my family comes first. I can't have that kind of poison around. [turns to Kurt] This is our home, Kurt. [turns back to Finn] He is my son. Out in the world you do what you want; not under my roof.

"I've got a few questions for you: When you got this alleged confession from these two young men, did they have a lawyer present? No, because I'm their lawyer. Did you inform their parents? No, because we're they’re parents. So, officer, don't tell us to wait, and don't tell us to sit down - just open that damn cell and let those boys out. Or I'm gonna tie this place up in so much litigation that your grandchildren are gonna need lawyers!"

Phil: Sit down.
Lou: (moving to leave) I ain't got time for no lecture-
Phil: I said sit down, Lou. ...You know, Will was doing just fine until you showed up. But now that you're back, you have responsibilities to him.
Lou: Look, we're still gonna take the trip-
Phil: Oh bull, bull! ...Will is not a coat that you hang in the closet then pick it up when you're ready to wear it! His life goes on! He's not supposed to be here for you, you're supposed to be here for HIM!

Then any ADAM that you had is getting ripped out!
Who's your daddy now? Who's your daddy now?!
I'll run a rivet through your neck unless you'd rather drown!

Come on in, boy, sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter, do you now?
Yeah, we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her mama's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get
Ain't it, son?
Hey, y'all, run along and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Bet I'll be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun

Taftani, as a general rule, have a deeply paternal streak, and they are almost always insanely protective of their charges. The slow revelation of Asha is extremely complex, and Taftani have nightmares about not enlightening their charges properly. Almost as frequent is the nightmare of some misfortune striking down the apprentice, thereby rendering the Taftani's sacrifice pointless. For these reasons, awliya keep extremely close tabs on their apprentices. Any and all threats to the apprentice are taken with extreme gravity, and if the vizier has to incinerate someone to protect his apprentice, then so shall it be.

And if either of you lays a hand on her...
I WILL GIVE YOU MY AIDS!!!"

Bowser: What did you DO to my son?!
Paper Bowser: How could they have done this to my son?!

"I chose this! They're kids, you son of a bitch!"

Where is my son?
Where is Crota, your lord, your princely god, your godly prince?
Tell me no lies!
I feel his absence like a hole in my
Stomach.
Where once his tender tribute whetted burrowed mouths,
Now only hunger remains.
Hear me, O waning stars, O tattered rags of Sky —
I will stopper up this tearing gulf
With vengeance.
Oryx, the Taken King, Destiny

Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, Girl Genius (Vol. 15 p. 43)

Pixie: That’s Randal the raccoon, he’s a raccoon. He’s really grumpy. One time I asked him if he wanted to play, and he said to leave him alone or he’d bite me! So you should probably stay away from him…
Brutus: Good idea, Pixie. He’d probably rip my ugly striped tail off. [cuts to Randal who is visibly scared by Brutus’s threat]
Pixie: Yeah… Wait, you don’t have stripes on your tail…

"One of the most interesting things about us is there's a pretty short list of things that actually kill us - sunlight, decapitation - we can live through quite a lot. So, what I need you to understand, and I'm telling you this both as a friend and as a colleague: if anything happens to my son, I will spend centuries tormenting you. I will cut off your toes, I will cut off your fingers, I will stake you and let you starve in pain and anguish for centuries. And the only reason I don't do that to you at this exact second is I believe you didn't know."
Victor, LA By Night "Instruments Of Darkness"

"Whatever badass shit that you heard I did, you really need some context because pretty much my whole life, pretty much right up until this very minute, my default setting has been 'half-ass'. But that was before I had a child. A child you threatened to harm. So imagine, as I literally beat you to death, that a giant invisible hand has turned my dial from 'half-ass' to 'quadruple-ass.'"
Sterling Archer, Archer

Peter: Hey, Connie! Hi, Peter Griffin, Meg's father. Say, uh, can you do me a favor? You see that fire extinguisher there? [smashes her face against the fire extinguisher until she is a bloody unconscious mess]

Tohru: I must be within range [to cast the spell]. If Jade does not remain safe, I will turn you inside out.

"Donald's anger issues stem from a fear that the world is out to get him, and that no one understands him. Quite literally. His tendency to lash out was wildly unfocused, until you kids came along. He came to me wanting to be the best parent he could. So, we channeled that anger into protective instincts. Every outburst is Donald wanting to protect his family. He loves you so much the thought of anything bad happening to you infuriates him."
