Up there is the crazy bitch who’s been pullin’ the string this whole time, and next to her is your ol' re-revived robo-pal who don’t like your ass neither. On top of all that, we’ve been following some freak of nature YOU think’s your daddy... that’s it, you an idiot, and THIS is as far as I go.
Ninja Ninja, Afro Samurai: Resurrection

Worton: This has been interesting, but it's time for me to say farewell.
Betadron: What? Where are you going?

Smokey: Y-You probably killed monsters all the time. You know what to do, right, JoJo?
Joseph: Sure, of course I do!
Smokey: Great! I knew you would.
Joseph: Yep, I have a secret weapon for situations such as this.
Smokey: A secret weapon? Really? What kind of weapon?
Joseph: Why, isn't it obvious? Look at his legs, Smokey. I basically blew them into smithereens. And they still haven't fully healed yet. That's our ticket there.
Smokey: What do his legs have to do with your weapon?
Joseph: My legs are in great shape.
Smokey: So what are you gonna do then?
Joseph: RUN AS FAST AS I CAN! MAKE WAY! Out of the way!
Smokey: This guy's insane!

Joseph: I've got a plan.
Speedwagon: Did I hear you right, JoJo?

Stroheim: All-or-nothing gambit, you say?
Joseph: Yeah, it's my final move.
Stroheim: What does it involve?
Smokey: Uh, JoJo? When you say final move, you're not referring to that final move, are you?
Joseph: Listen up! This is something you're going to have to do for yourself.
Stroheim: Just tell me what to do and I'll follow your lead, JoJo!
Joseph: [Chuckles to himself, and grabs the Stone of Aja] RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

''We just found the former shogun but the current shogun is FLY AWAY. BUTTERFLY AWAY to Sanzu River. At this rate, together with him we'll also BUTTERFLY AWAY. Before that... RUN AWAAAAYYYYY!!
Gintoki Sakata, Gintama

Inuyama: [While he and Jin are alone and naked in a hot bath] Do you know why fireflies glow like that? It's a form of communication. Signals sent by the males and females to attract one another. However, they say that every once in a while, a male will try to attract another male.
Jin: [Standing up to leave] Well, time to go.

"Mr. Vladislav," shouted one of the vampires, "I'm gone!" He shifted into bat-form, tried to get away. Vladislav snapped his fingers. Two others, gifted with form-shifting, turned into bats, went after him, grabbed him, dragged him back to the gangboss.
With terrible efficiency, Vladislav tore the offending bat to pieces with his bare hands.

Formora inhaled shakily and pushed away from the wall. She was going to run, she decided. At the first moment available she was going to run and never look back. Run until her legs gave out and then maybe some more if she could siphon strength from the surrounding life—because this, this, was pure madness.

"Master Zabuza, what should we do?"
Zabuza shivered. That was the unmistakeable feeling of Youkai, on the edge of perception.
"We are leaving, as soon as possible."
Abruptly the feeling got about two hundred times stronger.
"In fact, sooner. I need you to carry me to somewhere outside the country."

"Gidel, you remember how I said that at some point, we might have to just take all the money and cheese it? This is it, Gidel. This is the big cheese it."

    Literature 
By God the Enlightener of Intelligence, if the Sahibs in India could breed sons who lived so that their houses might be established, I would almost fling my sword at the Viceroy's feet, saying: "Let us here fight for a kingdom together, thine and mine, disregarding the babble across the water. Write a letter to England, saying that we love them, but would depart from their camps and make all clean under a new crown." But the Sahibs die out at the third generation in our land, and it may be that I dream dreams. Yet not altogether.
Shafiz Ullah Khan, One View of the Question by Rudyard Kipling (1890)

"There is no need to give our reasons, though
Gawd knows we all 'ad reasons which were fair;
But other people might not judge 'em so—
And now it doesn't matter what they were."
— Deserters of the Boer War, "Wilful-Missing" by Rudyard Kipling (1903)

The Mother Hive by Rudyard Kipling (1908)

Bugger that. Bugger him. Bugger you.
Sandor Clegane, A Storm of Swords

Of the thirty-six schemes, a tactical retreat would be the wisest course of action.

I met the whore's rat dog as we were both heading for the back door. He looked at me, I looked at him. If it'd been a conversation, it probably woulda gone like, "What about your master?" "What about yours?" "Fuck 'em."
T. Sean Collins, World War Z

This plan almost worked, as you saw. But when I saw Anne-Marie with the bang-stick pointed at me, I thought to myself, 'Fuck this, I have a wife and children in Iceland, I don't need to pry any more bang-stick rocks out of my body or even perhaps die just to make everything perfect for Magnus'.

“Stanley!”
“Yes, Aunt Julia?” quavered Ukridge.
“Come here. I wish to speak to you.”
“Yes, Aunt Julia.”
I sidled out into the road. Inside the cottage the yapping of the Pekingese had become quite hysterical. I found myself trotting, and then—though it was a warm day—running quite rapidly. I could have stayed if I had wanted to, but somehow I did not want to. Something seemed to tell me that on this holy domestic scene I should be an intruder.
What it was that gave me that impression I do not know—probably vision, or the big, broad, flexible outlook.
Corky Corcoran, "Ukridge's Dog College"

Cassie: <I'm never doing that again.>
Rachel: <Yeah, it was not a smart fight. But hey, we won.>

Forrix: Lord...
Perturabo: It is over. Horus has given this battle to sorcerers and beasts. The war of Legions is over. Mortarion comes here to take this place. He and what he has become is what this war is now. He comes at the will of Horus to be the agent of what will happen.
Forrix: But he did not order our withdrawal.
Perturabo: I order it. It is my will. There is no victory here, just creatures and parasites pulling down a dying beast. It is gone. The Legion war is dead. The chance is gone. The cause is gone... We will not bleed for this. We will not break the circle of our iron for this.
Horus Heresy: Mortis

    Live-Action TV 
Fighting is not the only option! Whatever happened to running away? It's a Berkowitz family tradition. So many of our Heroes were cowards. Aeneas ran away from Troy and founded Rome! The Pilgrims fled England, and all they did was start a little country called America! Shaggy and Scooby always run away from the Bad Guys. But then, they solved the damned crime! The only reason you know about a dead hero is because a live coward was there to tell his story!!!

I'm not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going!

Tarrant: Orac, in sixteen minutes this base will be destroyed and you with it. Is there anything logically more important than trying to stop that happening?

Cigarette-Smoking Man: (smiles, shrugs) It's the final refuge! The last place to hide from those who are insidiously taking power now.
The X-Files, "The Truth"

I can't help people... that can't help themselves and cannot, ever, take one ounce of criticism. And if you're not willing to change, I'm not gonna butt heads, argue, scream, whatever you want to say, but this is not normal. And it's not normal for a restaurant to go through that many staff, it's not normal for a kitchen that small to have 65 items on the menu, and it's not normal for the level of animosity you've built inside this restaurant and outside. You have the right to run the business the way you want to run the business; I have the right to do the right thing, and the right thing for me is to get out of here.
Gordon Ramsay, to Amy and Samy Bouzaglo, Kitchen Nightmares, "Amy's Baking Company"

Y'all Harlem niggas off the hook. I'm going back to Hell's Kitchen where it's safe.

I'm feeling myself grow callous here. I didn't even look up when my assistant told me that a kobold raiding force showed up on the outskirts of our settlement. Sadly, I was even less surprised when they immediately left.

Come on guys, we have a nice settlement, why didn't you stick around? Was it the ashen wasteland? The bloodstained gates? Was it the screams of madmen or the stench of death? We've got awful nice engravings of some fucking cheese here, come the fuck on in!

Commando: Well, look who's back! Good job, men! Looks like you're not so useless after all!

Commando: Whatever.
Bazookaman What?! Wait, wait. Wait a second. What do you mean with "my men?" Nobody selected you as leader! Nobody!
Rifleman 1: (shoots Bazookaman)
Commando: Ha! That's my boy! Come, we've got some important things to discuss.
Rifleman 2: What the...?! Screw this! I'm out! (Beat) This job sucks. Fuck you all... I'm going back to McDonald's. (walks off screen)

NerdCubed: ...Right, so I'm not actually in San Francisco, I'm in a horror... place... where cups... and presumably, anything... could actually secretly be a spider. (Beat) ...Well, there's only one course of action for this!

Submitter: So, let's be clear. There was suspicious activity on my card Saturday.
Manager: Right.
Submitter: Rather than reach out to inform me and confirm the charges actually were fraud, you made the decision yourselves, froze my accounts, and cancelled the card while leaving me completely in the dark.
Manager: Right.
Submitter: However, you put the holds on only after confirming payment on the suspicious charges; meaning had they actually not been me, you would have allowed a fraudster to obtain those goods on my dime.
Manager: R-Right.
Submitter: Then, when I wrote a check on Monday, it cleared with no trouble, despite the freeze on my account.
Manager: (unable to respond, presumably realizing he's just lost a customer)
Submitter: I'm going to need you to close my accounts. I no longer believe that my money is safe here.

And that, ladies and gents, is the universal sound of "Time to go somewhere else."
