Shut Up Hannibal / Live-Action Films

aka: Film

Times where the good guys reject the villain's claims by telling them to shut up in Live-Action Films.

---

• Most of Arnold Schwarzenegger's have this. For example:
  • His character in Commando confronts an unusually confident bad guy sitting in a chair moments after his associates have kidnapped Arnie's daughter. "Moments" being the key word here— Arnie just shoots the guy and chases after the kidnappers in his truck. Oops.
  • Conan the Barbarian:
    • In the end of Conan the Barbarian (1982), villain Thulsa Doom (played by James Earl Jones) proceeds to tell Conan (played by the aforementioned Arnold) that he is the most important person in the barbarian's life, and without all the things he did to Conan (killing his family, selling him into slavery), he would not have turned out as awesome as he is. Conan's rebuttal? He uses what's left of his father's sword to chop Doom's head off.
    "Well gee, when you put it like that, FUCK YOU!!!"
    • Conan the Destroyer.
    Conan: ENOUGH talk! (impales a baddie with a dagger)
  • The 6th Day.
    Mr. Drucker: We can cover this up. Kill Adam Gibson. No one needs to know that you're a clone. That I'm a clone. In a few years, I'll have influenced enough Senators to have the laws changed. And then we won't have to lose our brightest minds to death.
    Adam Gibson's clone: And who decides who lives and who dies? You?
    Mr. Drucker: Do you have a better idea?
    Adam Gibson's clone: How about God?
    Mr. Drucker: Oh, you're one of those. Well, if you believe God made man in his own image, then He gave us the tools to understand genetics, to invent cloning. I'm just picking up where God left off.
    Adam Gibson's clone: If you really believe that, you should clone yourself while you're still alive.
    Mr. Drucker: Why is that? So I can understand your perspective?
    Adam Gibson's clone: No. So you can go fuck yourself.
  • End of Days (1999):
    • "The Man" (Gabriel Byrne) is giving Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger) his temptation speech (he is The Devil after all) and trying to convince him that a satanic apocalypse wouldn't be so bad after all.
      The Man: Just tell me what you want.
      Jericho Cane: I'll tell you what I want. I want you... to go to Hell.
      The Man: Well, you see, the problem is...
      (grabs Cane and lifts him)
      The Man: Sometimes Hell comes to YOU!
    • Later in the film:
      The Man: Now you're making me angry. You don't want to see me angry.
      Jericho Cane: Oh, you think you're bad, huh? You're a fucking choir boy compared to me! A CHOIR BOY!
  • In Terminator Genisys, both T-3000 and Genisys\Skynet have their Evil Gloating stopped by the heroes' violence. A standout is 'Pops' impaling the T-3000 onto a giant screen while saying "John Connor talks too much".
• 300: After the Persian messenger has delivered his threats, Leonidas bellows "This! Is! SPARTA!" and kicks him down a well. More of a Hot-Blooded challenge of "Bring it on!"; what else would you expect from Spartans?
  • Just before the battle, a Persian messenger is said to come to the Spartans offering a chance to surrender. When Leonidas refuses, the messenger says "Our arrows will block out the sun!" To which Stelios replies "Then we will fight in the shade."
  • Also in the scene where when asked to "lay down your weapons" King Leonidas responds with "Come and get them!" which is allegedly what he laconically said in the historical battle.
• Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (2010): The Jabberwock is giving Alice the speech. She replies, "That's enough chatter," and chops off his tongue.
• In Aquaman (2018), after Arthur defeats both David and Jesse Kane to rescue the hostages, Jesse pulls a Backstab Backfire as Arthur is walking away, causing himself to get trapped underneath a torpedo. When David begs Arthur to rescue his father from drowning, Arthur just blows him off by saying they'll "have to ask the sea for mercy" for killing innocent civilians and trying to stab him in the back before leaving them to their inevitable doom.
  David: Wait! Help me, he's trapped! You can't leave him like this! Please!
  Arthur: You killed innocent people! You ask the sea for mercy!
• In The Banana Splits Movie, after Beth's unfaithful husband, who had cheated on her with his co-workers and neglected her two sons, begs Beth to take him back, Beth nonchalantly decks the Jerkass and sternly claims she wants a divorce via Tranquil Fury.
• Batman (1989) has a non-verbal version when Batman gets confronted by a mook swinging some swords around and just punches the guy out.
• Battle: Los Angeles has Nantz's speech to his squad at the ruined FOB base which merely reminds all his troops (one of whom assumes that he deliberately did it to get the medal) to "shut the f*ck up."
• In the movie Breakdown, the Big Bad starts to threaten the hero and his wife (the latter having just been rescued from the chest freezer in which the villains left her to suffocate) only to be silenced nine words in when a severely stressed-out Kurt Russell screams "You FUCK!!!" and kicks him in the face.
• In what has to be one of the most epic demonstrations of this trope possible, the Lord Marshal in The Chronicles of Riddick puts down a naysayer by ripping out his soul and showing it to him before casting it aside. The guy drops dead on the spot and the entire assembly is cowed into submission.
  • Also note that as this planet was a religious melting pot, his actions are particularly effective.
• Cinderella (2015):
  • The Captain delivers one after Lady Tremaine objects to him bringing Ella to meet the Prince. Being the Captain of the Guard following a royal decree, he immediately shuts her down.
  "And I forbid you to forbid her. Who are you to stop an officer of the king? Are you an empress? A saint? A deity?"
  • When Lady Tremaine tries to invoke her role as Cinderella's mother, Ella tops it with one of her own:
    "You are not, and never will be, my mother."
• The Condemned (2007) features a scene where Sociopathic Soldier McStarley attempts to reason with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's character Jack Conroy, telling him about the horrors of war he's been forced to endure as a soldier and how he was locked up in prison for a number of years.
  Conroy: Sounds like you've had a hard life.
  McStarley: Yeah.
  Conroy: Good thing it's over. (shoots McStarley dead)
• The Dark Knight:
  • The ending, where the people trapped on two ferries refuse to play along with Prisoner's Dilemma, deciding to not to blow the other ferry up, even with the threat of the Joker blowing them both up at midnight, their decision proving the Joker's Humans Are Bastards viewpoint wrong. Even cooler is that one of the ferries has prisoners on it, and a stereotypical Scary Black Man just says no.
    The Joker: We really should stop this fighting. Otherwise, we'll miss the fireworks!
    Batman: There won't be any fireworks!
    The Joker: [expecting one of the two ferries to explode] And here we... go! [neither ferry explodes and the Joker looks out at them, confused. He turns to a small clock and realizes that it is past midnight]
    Batman: What were you trying to prove? That deep down, everyone's as ugly as you? You're alone.
  • Followed shortly by:
    Joker: You can't rely on anyone these days, you've gotta do everything yourself, DON'T WE! Luckily I came prepared. [whips out a third, long-distance detonator] It's a funny world we live in. Speaking of which, do you know how I got these scars?
    Batman: No. But I know how you got THESE!
    [Batman shoots the Joker with his gauntlet blades]
• Deadpool (2016):
  • When Deadpool finally has Francis at the end of the fight, and has only one gun left: the puny little Derringer Blind Al gave him. And just as he's about to finish him off^note For context, Francis goes by the name Ajax, and has been trying to get Wade to call him Ajax since they met. Wade being Wade, he refuses and calls him by his real name, Francis:
  Francis: (spitefully) What's my name?
  Deadpool: (cocks the gun) Who fucking cares.
• In the original Dirty Harry, the title character is held at gunpoint by Scorpio, who plans to kill him after a good bit of Evil Gloating, but before he can get the chance, Harry stabs Scorpio in the leg. And for added humor, Scorpio lets out a huge girly scream.
• In Doctor at Large, after yet another humiliation and ensuing chewing out from Sir Lancelot, Dr. Sparrow can't take it anymore and calls him out:
  Sir Lancelot: I understand you're interested in surgery. What makes you think your gifts lie in that direction? Some people might consider that a nuts and bolts factory would be a more suitable habitat for you, than an operating theatre. Or have you what is called a "vocation"?
  Dr. Sparrow: Yes, I have. I have a "vocation", if that's what you choose to call it, and one of these days, I'm going to prove it, though I shan't have a title, a ruddy great Rolls, and a conceit as big as me backside to advertise it!
  Sir Lancelot: Young man, you're being remarkably insulting.
  Dr. Sparrow: And I'm thoroughly enjoying it. And this time, I don't apologise. And if you don't mind me saying so, I should've thought it might have been rather an interesting clinical experience for you to be on the receiving end for once. Good morning.
• Down Periscope has one conducted over underwater telephone.
  Admiral Graham: You watch yourself, Dodge, you're addressing a superior officer!
  Captain Dodge: No, just a higher-ranking one. Catch us if you can! [hangs up] All ahead full!
• Driving Lessons: After years of living with a fundamentalist mother, Ben finally stands up to her following an Easter pageant which gets crashed by Evie, who had opened his mind, and calls her on her bullshit as she tries preaching to him yet again. Later, after her subsequent onscreen car accident (which does nothing to disabuse her of her fundamentalist beliefs, as she attributes her survival to God loving the thrifty because according to the doctor the car would've killed her if it wasn't a compact car), her husband Robert does this to her offscreen by divorcing her.
• Equilibrium:
  • Once he realises he's beaten, the Big Bad makes a desperate appeal to Preston's newfound emotions:
    DuPont: Wait! Wait! Look at me. Look at me. I'm life. I live... I, I breathe... I feel. Now that you know it... can you really take it? Is it really worth the price?
    John Preston: I pay it gladly.
  • And in the scene prior to this one, where after a big "Here's how I just beat you" speech from the big bad:
    DuPont: And now you've given me yourself. Calmly. Cooly. Entirely without incident.
    John Preston: No. Not without incident. (Cue lots of Mooks getting shot)
• The Exorcist III. Kinderman interrupts The Gemini Killer's Break Them by Talking by wordlessly interrupting him with a punch to the face that breaks his nose. The Gemini is unperturbed ("Ooooh, a few boos from the peanut gallery.")
• In Falling Down, Hero Antagonist Sgt. Martin Prendergast was a foil to Hero Antagonist Bill Foster. Both were middle-aged outcasts who lost their loved ones and felt betrayed by society, but while Foster fell into despair and had a nervous breakdown, Prendergast still found reasons to keep going. During their showdown at the end of the film, Prendergast point-blank tells Bill that being let down by society isn't an excuse to hurt people and that he could still be there for his daughter, while he doesn't even have that option because his is dead.
• A Few Good Men: At the very end, when Jessup is arrested for Santiago's death, he coldly accuses Kaffee of only succeeding in weakening a country.
  Kaffee: Don't call me son. I'm a lawyer, and an officer in the US Navy. And you're under arrest, you son of a bitch.
• Girl, Interrupted:
  • The antagonist Lisa, whom the others see as a something of a badass, stalks the heroine Susanna through the labyrinth beneath the mental institution. She gives an increasingly unstable speech about how free she is and how easy it is to push people's buttons.
    Lisa: You know, there are too many buttons in the world. There's too many and they're just... There's way too many just begging to be pressed. [....] And it makes me wonder. You know, it really makes me fuckin' wonder, why doesn't anybody ever press mine? Why am I so neglected? Why doesn't anybody reach in and rip out the truth and tell me that I'm a fuckin' whore, or that my parents wish I were dead?
    Susanna: (whirls around) Because you're dead already, Lisa! No one cares if you die, Lisa, because you're dead already. Your heart is cold. That's why you keep coming back here. You're not free. You need this place. You need it to feel alive. It's pathetic.
  • And it doesn't stop there.
    Susanna: I've wasted a year of my life. Maybe everyone out there's a liar, and maybe the whole world is stupid and ignorant, but I'd rather be in it. I'd rather be fucking in it than down here with you.
• Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): During the eco-terrorist mastermind Emma Russell's Motive Rant via video call to the main human heroes, no-one among Mark Russell and the Monarch brass are impressed by the mastermind's arguments about the Titans being essential to the human race's continued long-term survival due to their ecology-regenerating effects, nor the mastermind's legitimate arguments about the damage the government could do when they try to enact Gotta Kill 'Em All against the Titans — they variously respond with retorts about the sheer immorality of the mastermind's plan which involves essentially causing millions of people's deaths worldwide, about how the mastermind is meddling with creatures that no-one fully understands yet, and about how the mastermind has clearly lost their head and how doing this won't bring her dead son back.
• The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: A vengeful adversary, whose hand Tuco previously shot and permanently disabled, catches Tuco naked in a bathtub. He delivers a long speech about how he tracked the bandit down, and how he had lots of time to learn to shoot with his left hand, which is cut off when Tuco shoots him with a gun hidden under the bathtub bubbles.
  Tuco: When you gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
• The Graduate: Mrs. Robinson is a lonely, depressed, alcoholic housewife that had to give up on her artistic dreams when she got pregnant and married young, and she apparently feels that since she had to suffer a Shotgun Wedding because of her daughter Elaine, then she should force Elaine to have one too. The wedding takes place, but Elaine decides to be a Runaway Bride anyway, so her mother reminds her that she is already married.
  Mrs. Robinson: Elaine, it's too late!
  Elaine: Not for me!
• Hannibal Lecter: Hannibal Lecter did indeed get this reaction a couple of times.
  • Clarice Starling gets off a fairly low-key one in The Silence of the Lambs, and it's framed as the moment Starling earns Lecter's respect.
    Lecter: You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed: pure West Virginia. What is your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the boys found you. All those tedious, sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars, while you could only dream of getting out, getting anywhere, getting all the way to the F-B-I.
    Starling: You see a lot, Doctor. But are you strong enough to point that high-powered perception at yourself? What about it? Why don't you look at yourself and write down what you see? Or maybe you're afraid to.
  • In Red Dragon, Hannibal tries to pull his trope on Will. Will simply wishes him goodnight and leaves the room. This might be the only way to win (or draw) against the great Hannibal Lecter; he fancies himself being able to understand anyone, so simply ignoring him and his 'genius' is the best possible retort.
  • Hannibal:
    • Ironically, the most literal example was not as dramatic as many other examples for this Trope:
    Lecter: Good evening, Clarice! Just like old times.
    Starling: Shut up.
    • Hannibal himself does in in response to Mason's To the Pain speech. Obviously, it was neither the time nor the place for his usual Trope. (Crazy doesn't mean stupid.)
• At the climax of The Hitman's Bodyguard, Dukhovich, wounded and trapped, attempts to break Kincaid by pointing out how many people he has killed and that he will never redeem himself. Kincaid just bursts out laughing.
  Kincaid: I don't give a fuck about any of that! You fucked up when you shot. My. Bodyguard.
  Dukhovich: ...Who?
  Kincaid: (shoves him off the roof)
• In The Hunt (2020), Crystal, the last surviving “prey” in the titular hunt, utterly destroys Athena's entire position without even trying. Athena attempted to explain how the victims of the hunt brought their fate on themselves by spreading lies about her compatriots, getting them all fired because their employers were protecting their image against the accusations. Crystal points out that their response, doing exactly what the victims claimed they did, makes Athena’s associates exactly the sort of monsters they were accused of being
• Indy's father, Henry Sr., gives a brilliant one to a Nazi colonel during Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
  Colonel Vogel: Tell me about this miserable little diary of yours. (slaps Henry Sr. with his glove) We have the map, the book is useless and yet you come all the way back to Berlin to get it. Why? (he slaps Henry again) What are you hiding? (he slaps him again) What does the diary tell you that it doesn't tell us?
  (he tries to slap him again, but Henry grabs his wrist, stopping him)
  Professor Henry Jones Sr.: (through his teeth) It tells me that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try reading books instead of burning them!
• A villainous version shows up in Intruders where J.P. deconstructs Anna's speech on why he should kill himself, and manages to get her to break down enough to let them go.
• I, Robot
  • There's an awesome example near the end.
    V.I.K.I.: You are making a mistake. My logic is undeniable.
    Del Spooner: You have so got to die.
  • And there's a slightly friendlier example earlier in the movie given to Del Spooner;
    Del Spooner: You are a clever imitation of life... can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot take a blank canvas and turn it into a masterpiece?
    Sonny: Can you?
• James Bond: Most of the Bond villains often give 007 a Motive Rant, gloat about their Evil Plans, or use Psychological Projection to identify Bond's flaws, only for 007 to make a sarcastic but accurately cutting remark about their insanity, angering them.
  • Dr. No:
    Dr. No: The Americans are fools. I offered my services, they refused. So did the East. Now they can both pay for their mistake.
    Bond: World domination. The same old dream. Our asylums are full of people who think they're Napoleon. Or God.
  • The Man with the Golden Gun: Scaramanga does a "Not So Different" Remark to Bond. Bond replies, "There's a useful four-letter word, and you're full of it."
  • Casino Royale (2006) gives us this exchange as Dryden is lecturing Bond/mocking him for not having made the two kills necessary to be a 00 agent:
    Dryden: How did he die?
    Bond: Your contact? Not well.
    Dryden: Made you feel it, did he? Well, you needn't worry. The second is—
    Bond: [shoots Dryden] Yes, considerably.
    • At this point, Dryden knows Bond is going to kill him, though. He's tried to kill Bond and failed, since Bond removed the magazine from his hidden pistol, so this also falls into the category of last words.
  • Skyfall has a scene were a government minister was grilling M. Mallory is visibly disgusted when it becomes clear that the actual committee hearing is basically nothing more than a Kangaroo Court.
    Mallory: For the sake of variety, might we actually hear from the witness?
  • Spectre: When Oberhauser/Blofeld rambles about his Evil Plan and how he plans to use it by calling himself and his partner-in-crime C "visionaries", 007 simply tells that they're not visionaries, but insane lunatics.
    Bond: Visionaries? Psychiatric wards are full of them.
• Jojo from Jojo Rabbit kicks his Imaginary Friend Hitler out of a window and says “Fuck off, Hitler!” when he tries to taunt him about taking the Jewish girl that’s been hiding in his house out once their town gets liberated.
• After spending half of Jurassic World listening to Hoskins ramble on and on about how his Velociraptors should be used as war weapons, Owen's so pissed off by the time he returns to the paddock that he just hauls off and punches Hoskins before he can start rambling again.
  Hoskins: The mother hen has finally arrived—
  Owen: [punches him in the face] Get the hell out of here and stay away from my animals.
• In Kingsman: The Secret Service, Harry's comment to a rather pushy attendant at a church that shows high levels of anti-Semitism, racism, anti-women's rights and homophobia as he makes to leave comes across as a very sarcastic version of this.
  Harry: I'm a Catholic whore currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at the military abortion clinic. So hail Satan and have a lovely afternoon, madam.
• Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: Harry interrupts Mr. Fire's "tough guy" speech with a few bullets to the chest.
• In Labyrinth, Sarah responds to Jareth's We Can Rule Together speech with a quote from the play she's trapped inside: "You have no power over me!"
• Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood:
  The Leprechaun: (to Emily, who's dangling from a rooftop) For two-thousand years you filthy mortals have tried to steal my riches to satisfy your greedy urges... and it always ends the same, with you begging for your miserable lives. Was it all worth it in the end? One day your kind will learn that the treasure of the Leprechauns—
  Rory: Hey!
  The Leprechaun: Huh? (gets shot in the chest several times by Rory)
• In Kate Bush's The Line, the Cross and the Curve, toward the end:
  Miranda Richardson: We have a lot in common, you and I. It took me years to be rid of those shoes! You are so weak. So stupid. So...
  Kate Bush: You're scared. You're scared, because you know you're losing your power over me.
• In the film-version of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the Mouth of Sauron shows the heroes Frodo's mail-shirt, and laughs and lectures them about how Frodo suffered before he died; in response, Aragorn just chops his head off, then declares to the others that he will not believe it.
  Mouth of Sauron (mockingly): It takes more to be a king than a broken Elvish blade.
  Aragorn: (Calmly draws the not-so broken Anduril and beheads him with it.)
  • Earlier in the movie Denethor, on seeing the Orc forces arriving outside the gates of Minas Tirith, starts yelling at the soldiers and citizens to give up and flee. Gandalf, who was already frustrated by Denethor's refusal to prepare for this battle, cuts off the speech by smacking Denethor over the head with his staff.
• In the film version of The Losers, as Max is giving his speech to Clay about not being able to shoot him. Clay proceeds to shoot Max in the shoulder mid-speech.
• M has a villainous example, as Hans explains to his captors why they're no better than him and have no right to judge him, but they don't listen.
• Marvel Cinematic Universe:
  • Iron Man 2:
    • Tony does this in the novelization, throwing Ivan's words about being a thief and murderer back in his face.
    • He pulls this off in the movie, as well, when he visits Vanko in his holding cell.
    Ivan: The truth: all I have to do is sit here and watch as the world will consume you.
    Tony: Where are you gonna be watching the world consume me from? Oh, right, a prison cell. I'll send you a bar of soap. Don't drop it.
  • Happens not once, not twice, not three times, but four times to Loki in The Avengers:
    • During the battle in Stuttgart, Germany, Loki forces a random group of bystanders to bow down to him. One refuses to kneel.
    Loki: In the end, you will always kneel.
    German Old Man: (stands up out of the crowd) Not to men like you.
    Loki: (chuckles) There are no men like me.
    German Old Man: There are always men like you.
    • Coulson gets his moment too. While he lays dying, he tells Loki he's going to lose and Loki starts to taunt him. Coulson blasts him through the wall mid-sentence.
    Coulson: So that's what that does.
    • Black Widow doesn't even bother to tell him to shut up. When he gives her a devastating Breaking Speech, she is visibly shaken and horrified... but then she walks off in the middle of his speech, leaving him confused. She was playing along to get him to spill important information while gloating. (It turns out that he did get to her a little. She's just such a good actress, he never realized.)
    Natasha: Thank you for your cooperation.
    • At the climax, Loki is cornered by the Hulk, who has just finished tearing through half of Loki's army. Loki, furious, seethes that he is a god and not someone to be bullied by a green simpleton who— *grab* *smash* *smash* *smash* *smash* (Beat) *smash* *smash* *smash* *drop*.
    Hulk: Puny god.
  • In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson delivers a particularly effective one to Brock Rumlow.
  Sam: Man, shut the hell up.
  • Captain Marvel: In the Kree military, Carol regularly trains fighting her teammate Yon-Rogg, who belittles her for becoming emotional and resorting to her powers to defeat him. Carol later learns Yon-Rogg kidnapped her and has been suppressing her powers for years, she breaks her restraints and faces off against him again. Yon-Rogg, knowing he stands no chance against Carol at her full strength, tries to get her to fight "fair", lecturing that she'll truly prove herself by fighting him without her powers... and Carol just blows him a hundred feet away with a photon blast.
  Captain Marvel: I have nothing to prove to you.
  • In Avengers: Endgame Tony Stark pulls a Heroic Sacrifice while doing this to Thanos.
  Thanos: I am...inevitable. (snap does nothing)
  Tony Stark: And I... am... Iron Man. (cue Badass Fingersnap)
• During the Final Battle at the climax of The Matrix Revolutions, Smith knocks Neo to the floor and proceeds to give a nihilistic rant that concludes with "Why, Mr. Anderson?! Why?! Why do you persist?!" Neo's response is a very simple Call-Back to his last conversation with the Oracle that perfectly shoots Smith down.
  Neo: Because I choose to.
• Minority Report features one of these at its climax as the villain tells John Anderton his reason for setting him up to be arrested for murder:
  Lamar Burgess: Think about all the lives that little girl (Agatha) has saved! Think about all the lives she will save! That little girl could have saved Sean!
  John Anderton: DON'T YOU EVER SAY HIS NAME! You used the memory of my dead son to set me up!
• Played with in Mystery Team; Robert interrupts Jason's speech about why they are all going to survive by SHOOTING HIM.
• The remake of Night of the Demons (2009) has a literal example when the protagonist Maddie is cornered in a magically-protected room by Angela (who's possessed by the lead demon), who goes into a rant about how how Maddie and her friends are going to suffer horribly before they're possessed.
  Maddie: Shut up, bitch. (slams door in Angela's face)
• At the end of Oblivion (2013) , you get this doozy:
  Sally: Jack... I made you. I am your God.
  Jack: Fuck you, Sally. (detonates fuel cells)
• From Pan's Labyrinth.
  Captain Vidal: Tell my son the time his father died. Tell him—
  Mercedes: No. He won't even know your name.
  Pedro then shoots Vidal in the face.
• At the climax of Police Academy 6, Captain Harris is literally told to shut up by both Commissioner Hurst and the villain who is disguised as Hurst.
• Resident Evil: Extinction has this:
  Dr. Isaacs: (as the Tyrant) For so long, I thought you were the future; I was wrong, I am the future.
  Alice: (laughs) No, You're just... another asshole, and we're both gonna die down here.
  (laser grid turns on and slices the Tyrant into pieces, but stops after an Alice clone shuts it off)
• Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has this:
  Gideon Graves: Who do you think you are, Pilgrim? You think you're better than me? Well, I'll tell you what you are. A PAIN IN MY ASS!!! You have any idea how long it took me to get the evil exes' contact information so I could form this stupid league? Like two hours! TWO HOURS!!! (coughs up some quarters) You're not cool enough for Ramona. You're zero! You're nothing! Me? I'm what's hip! I'm what's happening! I'm blowing up right now!
  Scott Pilgrim: You are blowing up... RIGHT NOW! (punts Gideon in the head, killing him)
• In the final confrontation of Scream 3 the killer rants at Sidney about how her mother brought her death on herself, and how none of this is his fault. She interrupts him in a CMOA, he doesn't take it well.
  Sidney: God, why don't stop your whining and get on with it? I've heard all this shit before!
  Roman: Stop!
  Sidney: Do you know why you kill people, Roman? Do you?
  Roman: I don't want to hear it!
  Sidney: Because you choose to! There is no one else to blame!
  Roman: Damn it! Fucking damn it!
  Sidney: Why don't you take some fucking responsibility?
  Roman: Fuck you!
  Sidney: Fuck you!
  • During the climax of Scream (2022), Ghostface calls Sidney to mock her while she's stalking them through Stu's house. At no point does Sidney lose her cool, instead mocking the new killer for being so derivative of the original, and finally hanging up on them, catching them off guard and leaving them desperate to keep her on the line.
  Sidney: I'm bored.
  Ghostface: No, wait! (Sidney hangs up)
• Serenity:
  • During the climax:
    The Operative: Do you know what your sin is, Mal?
    Mal: Aw, hell, I'm a fan of all seven. (headbutt) But right now, I'm gonna have to go with wrath.
  • Also:
    The Operative: I want to resolve this like civilized men, I am not threatening you, I'm unarmed—
    Mal: Good. (shoots him)
  • Shortly followed by:
    The Operative: I am also wearing full body armor; I am not a moron.
  • A part cut from the final scene:
