Cobb: That price on my head — was that dead or alive?
Eames: Don't remember. Let's see if he starts shooting.

If she had been one of the freelance bounty hunters circling the conflict like vultures around a corpse, she'd be a rich woman now. There was a hefty price in radioactive metal on this man's head.
Master Computer: Attention, Citizens. Attention all Citizens. Stand by for an important public bulletin. Have you seen this man? (picture of The Doctor.) He is an anti-Company agent wanted for acts of terrorism. Gatherer Hade will pay a reward of five thousand talmars for information leading to the capture of the gangster, dead or alive.
Synge: Hey, five thousand!
The Doctor: (appearing behind him) Peanuts. It's an insult! The Droges of Gabrielides offered a whole star system for my head once.

"They'll pay for your corpse!" screamed the deformed man, writhing on the floor, trying to steady his slumped body long enough to level his weapon. "You won't put me in a coffin! I'll see you there! Carlos will pay! By Christ, he'll pay!"'
Maid Marian: There is a price on your head.
Robin Hood: How much?
Marian: One hundred gold pieces.
Robin: Is that all? I shall have to annoy the good Sheriff more. Soon it will be a thousand.
Marian: For a thousand, I would turn you in myself.

The current price for assassinating Victor Tyo was half a million Eurofrancs, offered by Eugene Selby after his attempt to snatch research data on magnetic logic circuits ended with his hotrods being backtracked and taken out by a couple of Foxhound missiles. The price for killing that assassin should he or she prove successful was a million Eurofrancs. A quarter of a million Eurofrancs could be picked up by anyone who cared to reveal Eugene Selby's present geographical coordinates.
Victor's life was nearly all tangled up in deterrent circles like that these days. It didn't particularly bother him. All part of the game. His choice to be a player had been made long ago.

Fitzroy: You're a child.
Lloyd: A child that's about to put a hit so big on your boy's head that even his most loyal allies won't hesitate to drop a dime. Every grade-A wet team from here to Reykjavik will be vying for the prestige of killing the infamous Sierra Six.
The Chief: [KAOS has] raised the price on your head to $500,000.
Max: $500,000? That's a half a million dollars! That's terrible, Chief. I mean a quarter of a million dollars is a reasonable price for killing a man, but a half a million dollars caters to greed.

Hex: I'll collect my hundred dollar bounty on 'em and be on my way.
Sheriff: That there, Mr. Hex, was more of a...limited-time offer.
Hex: But you'll pay it all the same.
Sheriff: Oh, hell, Mr. Hex...there's an unscrupulous man or two would pay double that for your stinking hide!
Thereafter for four years more Beren wandered still upon Dorthonion, a solitary outlaw; but he became the friend of birds and beasts, and they aided him, and did not betray him, and from that time forth he ate no flesh nor slew any living thing that was not in the service of Morgoth. He did not fear death, but only captivity, and being bold and desperate he escaped both death and bonds; and the deeds of lonely daring that he achieved were noised abroad throughout Beleriand, and the tail of them came even into Doriath. At length Morgoth set a price upon his head no less than the price upon the head of Fingon, High King of the Noldor; but the Orcs fled rather at the rumour of his approach than sought him out.
And for four years [Tuor] was an outlaw in the land of his fathers, grim and solitary; and his name was feared, for he went often abroad, and slew many of the Easterlings that he came upon. Then they set a great price upon his head; but they did not dare to come to his hiding-place, even with strength of men, for they feared the Elven-folk, and shunned the caves where they had dwelt.
Han Solo: General, I gotta leave. I can't stay any longer.
General Riekann: I'm sorry to hear that.
Han: Well, there's a price on my head. If I don't pay off Jabba the Hutt, I'm a dead man.
Riekann: A death mark's not an easy thing to live with.
