Working Title: Ineffectual Death Threats: From YKTTW
Looney Toons: This trope reminds me of an exchange I have in my quotefile, which is sadly uncredited. I'm sure I read it in a Fan Fic, but Google does not return any hits on it, which means it's most likely lost to history. Its position in the quotefile suggests I added it some time around 1996 or thereabouts, but that's little help. Without attribution I won't include it in the examples, but it's too fun not to share:
- Ayuki: "Please, don't make us kill you."
Keiko: "Hurt you."
Ayuki: "Hurt you." (to Keiko) "I don't get to kill them?"
Keiko: "That would be wrong, Ayuki."
Ayuki: "But they're blocking our way, Keiko."
Keiko: "Couldn't you just... break their legs? Something non-lethal?"
Ayuki: "I'll try." (to crowd) "Please leave so we don't have to kill you."
Keiko: (elbowing Ayuki) "Hurt you."
Ayuki: "Hurt you."
