* In the first season special of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', Heather's [[ManipulativeBastard past actions]] have completely alienated her from the other campers, as no one would ally with her in the search for the million dollar cash prize. The one exception is [[StereotypicalNerd Harold]], admittedly in part because no one he asked wanted to partner with ''him'' either, though [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder she would later betray him]] and steal his hang glider (crafted out of branches and an old tent), which quickly falls apart mid-flight and causes her to land headfirst into a beaver dam, where she would be beaten up by angry beavers. After escaping, Harold catches up with her while still determined to help her, but after [[NeverMyFault blaming him for her day's misfortunes]], he calls her out for being an AlphaBitch, stating that if she learned to be nicer to everyone, then she would have friends. While Heather vainly assumes that she's liked because she's popular, it's Harold's one line that leaves her momentarily speechless and opening up about her insecurities for the first time.

** "The Doof Side of the Moon" plays this for laughs when Albert says he will help Candance bust her brothers and proposes to use spy cameras, which Candance thinks is unnecessary.

** Also, when Aang expresses his opinion that "[[MartialPacifist Violence is never the answer]]", Zuko responds: "Then I have a question for you... what are you gonna do when you face [[BigBad my father]]?"

** In "Blackened Sponge", SpongeBob gets a black eye from getting hit with a wrench while trying to open some toothpaste, but tells various lies about how he got it, all of which revolve him fighting a criminal called Jack M. Crazyfish from a dream he had. After the last lie at the Krusty Krab, a customer asks what Jack looked like, and SpongeBob gives the details, then he gets suspicious when the customer describes the color of Jack's hat on the spot, just before the reveal that Jack is an actual person.
-->'''Customer:''' Little green hat?\\

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' episode where [=SpongeBob=] becomes a {{Hikikomori}}, he's only able to leave his house again after a gorilla attacks Patrick and Sandy, and his desire to save them overrides his fear of being injured again. The gorilla literally [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe tears him in half]] within seconds, but when [=SpongeBob=] asks, "[[FridgeLogic What's a gorilla doing underwater in the first place?]]", the gorilla panics and flees. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment On a pantomime zebra]]. ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.

** " [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E13TrialsOfTheDarksaber Trials of the Darksaber]]": [[WarriorTherapist Kanan]] is trying to get Sabine to discuss her issues so they don't get in the way of her sword training, and taunts her by saying that in Mandalorian culture, she's considered a coward for running away. Sabine says that's not true, so Kanan asks:
-->''[ignites his lightsaber to block her swing]'' "Then ''what's the truth''?"

* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' episode "Equal Fights," StrawFeminist Femme Fatale convinces the girls that men are inherently bad, thus making them unwilling to help any man--even the Professor, their father, or the Mayor, who's asking them to save the city. Thankfully, Ms. Bellum and Ms. Keane are on hand to talk to the trio about what's been happening. When Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup protest that "us girls gotta look out for each other," three more women emerge from the shadows and reveal that Femme Fatale is only a feminist when it's [[ItsAllAboutMe convenient for her]]:
-->'''Businesswoman''': Was Femme Fatale looking out for ''me'' when she stole from my bank?

-->''(The other women give her a DeathGlare)''

** In "Watching and Dreaming" after [[spoiler:The Collector]] tells his backstory and goes into a VillanousBreakdown where he admits that [[spoiler: he knows that King's friendship was just a game of pretend, but that he didn't care and that he's so starved for friendship that he's going to pretend as long as he wants]]. This allows Luz to ask the question that would start his HeelFaceTurn.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': In the episode "Grim in Love", Grim meets a Goth woman named Malaria, and [[LoveAtFirstSight the two connect almost instantly]]. One FallingInLoveMontage later, the next time Billy and Mandy see him, he feels like he’s on top of the world, but it’s Mandy asking one simple question that sends him crashing back to reality.

** In "Fast Foodie", Cricket makes a wager with Bill he and Tilly can eat at the next-door Burger Clown every day for every meal and not suffer any consequences. Within a few days, Cricket is all bloated while Tilly is ill in bed; however, Cricket stops at nothing to eat the Burger Clown food and the instant he gets stuck in the play place slide, Bill asks him this which causes him to come to his senses.

** In "Truce Bomb", Tilly meddles in on Gramma and Mr. Grigorian to get them to realize the error of their ways and call a truce, hoping they'll become friends and all is well. But when they start to become gloomy and depressed from such, Cricket asks this:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Centaurworld}}''

-->'''Horse:''' You guys ''just'' sang a song about this place and how amazing it is.\\
'''Wammawink:''' Oh it ''is''! \\

-->'''Viren''': Every one of these soldiers would be willing to die for you!
-->'''Harrow''': Would ''you''?
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' has, in its first episode, Dewey land a nice one on Uncle Scrooge during an argument about Dewey's reckless behavior: Asking him which triplet he is. Scrooge can't answer, both because he's been avoiding getting too close to the boys ''and'' because he's almost deliberately been ignoring Dewey in particular.
** Earlier in the episode Donald lands one without even trying. While arguing with Scrooge he angrily asks if he can trust Scrooge to watch the boys for the afternoon "without losing them?" Scrooge suddenly snaps out of his angry demeanor and in a hurt voice insists that of course he can be trusted to do so, stung by Donald's accusation.

** In [[Recap/TheFairlyOddParentsS1E5AWishTooFar "A Wish Too Far"]], when Timmy is at fairy court, Jorgen, the prosecutor (or persecutor in this case), prompts Timmy's JerkassRealization by asking him point-blank whether he ever once thanked his godparents for all the wishes he'd made that episode.
--->'''Jorgen''': After bestowing all these wonderful things upon you, did you ever once thank your fairy godparents?
** In Remy Buxaplenty's first appearance: during the Magical Duel, Timmy tries to get Remy to call it off by saying he doesn't care if Remy has a Fairy Godparent. Remy's response makes Timmy feel bad when [[spoiler:Remy loses]]:
--->'''Remy:''' But...''I'' care if ''you'' do! My parents are never home! I never get to see them! Why should you have real parents ''and'' Fairy Godparents who love you, '''''WHEN I DON'T!!??'''''
** In [[Recap/TheFairlyOddParentsS2E4InspectionDetection "Inspection Detection"]], Timmy has been wishing for a large volume of new things in preparation for a fairy inspection. Due to a spate of recent shoplifting incidents, his parents fear he might be stealing and confront him about it. When Timmy gives them his usual excuse (he bought them over the Internet), his dad remains suspicious and asks, "And ''where'' did you get the Internet?" Timmy, caught off-guard, is reduced to stammering.
** In the ''Wishology'' trilogy, after Timmy finds the last wand of TheProphecy and is seemingly poised to defeat [[BigBad The Darkness]], he suddenly stops and asks Jorgen and Turbo Thunder [[spoiler: who attacked first when the Darkness came]], having realized [[spoiler: The Darkness isn't actually evil, it was just reacting because everyone attacks it first for looking scary and threatening.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has a few of these, but one memorable moment in "Brian In Love" has Brian talk to a therapist about his urinating problem. When the therapist asks Brian about Lois, Brian immediately tries to tell him that he isn't in love with Lois and how she is Peter's wife.
-->'''Therapist:''' Who are you trying to convince, Brian, me or you?

---> '''Peter:''' [''casually''] GoToYourRoom.

* PlayedForLaughs on ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' when Bubblegum asks Bender "Are you funky enough to be a Globetrotter? Are you?"
** Also in the episode "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV":

'''Cubert:''' [''confused silence'']
* At the conclusion of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' four-part episode "City of Stone," the [[TheFairFolk Weird Sisters]] utilize these to take down [[DeathSeeker Macbeth]] and [[PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery Demona]]. The two have been magically linked so that the only way for them to die is by killing one another. Macbeth is ready to impale an unconscious Demona when the Sisters manifest and ask about the incidents in Macbeth's [[Really700YearsOld long life]] that people tried to solve with murder (including the SenselessSacrifice that ended with Macbeth's ''own son'' dying). This stuns Macbeth long enough for them to put him to sleep (the poor guy, deep down, is [[WhoWantsToLiveForever just exhausted]]). They next target Demona, who has the access code needed to shut down her latest plot to [[FantasticRacism kill every human in New York City]] and won't give it up. She insists that all of this is "vengeance for her pain," but the Sisters challenge her by asking about that pain and the person responsible for all of the betrayals and cruelties that led her to that moment--[[NeverMyFault Demona herself]]. Though they're able to sway her enough to give up the password, [[IgnoredEpiphany the revelation doesn't last long]], as she's back to blaming humans for her problems instead of admitting her own culpability within seconds.
** Goliath and Renard zigzag this in "Outfoxed", culminating in Goliath asking a question that pierces his own armor... which is exactly what he needed to do to start earning Renard's respect:
-->'''Renard''': What would be the honorable thing to do? Well, I suppose I should just turn you over to the proper authorities.
-->'''Goliath''': Look at me, human. I would spend the rest of my life as a laboratory specimen. Was my crime against you so heinous to make that an equitable punishment?
-->'''Renard''': We're making progress. You finally acknowledge that you committed a crime.
** Hudson gets to ask several of Xanatos, all in one episode ("The Price"):
---> "Growing old terrifies you, doesn't it?"
---> "Demona and Macbeth are immortal. Has it brought ''them'' happiness?"
---> "When all your scheming's done, what will be ''your'' legacy, Xanatos?"
*** It's very telling that, after the first one, Xanatos responds with some petty insults towards Hudson, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness something that would normally be beneath him.]]
** One episode sees a [[VoluntaryShapeshifter shape-shifting monster]] take the form of Elisa Masa, leading to a SpotTheImpostor scenario. Goliath determines which of them is the fake by asking one of these: "Elisa, tell me the truth--was there ever a time, even for a moment, when you doubted me?" Surprisingly, he tells his allies to shoot the Elisa who says "No", which turns out to be the right choice--Goliath knows that the ''real'' Elisa is deeply conflicted about him.

** Averted in "[[Recap/SouthParkS3E4Jakovasaurus Jakovasaurs]]". Mr. Garrison wants to keep the discovered female jakovasaur at his house, but is rejected since he'll try to have sex with it like he did with the wounded pigeon. Garrison claims that the pigeon was a whore and asks if anybody didn't sleep with the pigeon. Everyone raises their hand to confirm they didn't.
** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS10E3CartoonWarsPartOne Cartoon Wars, Part One]]", an episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' is set to depict the Muslim prophet [[UsefulNotes/TheProphetMuhammad Muhammad]] uncensored, resulting in several terrorist threats. Kyle tries to defend the ''Family Guy'' writers for standing up for free speech, while Cartman uncharacteristically points out that people can get hurt. This leads to Kyle teaming up with Cartman to get the episode pulled. [[spoiler:However, it's revealed that Cartman doesn't care about people getting hurt, and that he's just exploiting the controversy in order to get ''Family Guy'' cancelled out of a personal hatred for the show.]]
--->'''Cartman:''' If ten people die because ''Family Guy'' just had to have its little joke, will you still think it's funny? What if a hundred people died? Will it be funny then, Kyle?
** Cartman gets another good one in "[[Recap/SouthParkS15E10BassToMouth Bass to Mouth]]". The school faculty consult him to help curb [[ItMakesSenseInContext suicide attempts by students who crapped their pants]], but balk at his plan to keep kids from being singled out by making ''everyone'' crap their pants with laxative-spiked pizza. Cartman then asks "Well, if you have a better idea, then [[JerkassHasAPoint why am I here?]]" One beat later, Mr. Mackey is on the phone, arranging a school Pizza Day.
** PlayedForLaughs when Kenny is hit by lightning late in "Rainforest Shmainforest".

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' episode "The Choice", we learn that in her youth, Nicole was under the thumb of her EducationMama and on a course towards fulfilling the latter's dreams for her, at the cost of her own happiness, until she met her future husband Richard on the way to karate class and he asked her a simple question that would change her life forever:
--> '''Nicole:''' I have to go.
--> '''Richard:''' Why?
--> '''Nicole:''' Because I have to fight.
--> '''Richard:''' Why?
--> '''Nicole:''' Because I have to win...
--> '''Richard:''' Why?
--> '''Nicole:''' ''(nervously)'' So... people will like me...

--->'''Nicole''': So...what should I do?
--->'''Richard''': If I were you? Sleep 'til I'm forty!
--->'''Nicole''': ''(laughing)'', No, I mean--what should I do with my ''life?''
--->'''Richard''': Um... maybe start living it?

** ("Who are you angry at?") Delivered by Azula and her friends to Zuko in "The Beach".
** In "The Day of Black Sun Part 2", when Zuko is about to walk out on Ozai forever after [[CallingTheOldManOut calling out how horribly he treated him for most of his life]], Ozai manages to stop Zuko dead in his tracks (and ultimately stall him long enough for the eclipse to end) by asking the one question he knows has plagued his son since childhood.
--->'''Ozai:''' ''Don’t you want to know what happened to [[MissingMom your mother]]?''
** Also, when Aang expresses his opinion that "[[MartialPacifist Violence is never the answer]]", Zuko responds: "Then I have a question for you... what are you gonna do when you face [[BigBad my father?]]"
** There's also a ShoutOut to ''Series/BabylonFive'': "Who are ''you'', and what do ''you'' want?" Delivered by Iroh to Zuko in "Lake Laogai".

---->'''Iroh''': What do you plan to do now that you have found the Avatar's bison? Keep it locked in our new apartment? [[SarcasmMode Should I go put on a pot of tea for him?]]\\
'''Zuko''': First I have to get it out of here.\\
'''Iroh''': ''(losing his composure for the first time)'' {{And then what}}! [[DidntThinkThisThrough You never think these things through!]] This is exactly what happened back at the North Pole! You had him, and then you had nowhere to go!!

'''Dinobot:''' ''(more to himself)'' Possibly, yes...

** In "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE22JokersFavor Joker's Favor]]" everyman Charlie Collins, after a bad day, shouts at a speeding motorist who cut him off... that motorist happens to be ComicBook/TheJoker. In exchange for his life, Charlie agrees to do a "little favor" for the Clown Prince of Crime--a favor the Joker can cash in at any time. Charlie spends two years hiding from the Joker, but he still finds him and makes him help him with a plan to blow up Commissioner Gordon at a city banquet--and Charlie as well, [[ForTheEvulz just for the heck of it]]--by threatening Charlie's wife and son. When Batman saves the day, Charlie confronts the Joker, who laughs at him and then vows to kill his family if he's caught. Charlie then reveals that he found another one of the Joker's bombs, and threatens him with it. But the Joker's ''real'' deepest fear isn't death--it's the idea of dying at the hands of a "miserable little nobody" rather than Batman, and not pulling off a remarkable, memorable crime before he goes. Charlie reduces the Joker--a mass-murdering psychopath who's laughed at the Dark Knight himself--to a quivering wreck by asking him about this:
--->'''Charlie''': See? ''I'' can destroy a man's dreams, too! And that's really the only dream you've got, ''isn't it?''

-->'''Mandy''' Have you told her ''you’re not human'' yet?
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grossology}}'': In "Silent But Deadly", Ty is rendered BrainwashedAndCrazy by Fartor, who intends to use his geography skills in an evil scheme. Abby, after several failed attempts to bring her brother back to the side of good, finally manages to get through to him with one of these:
-->''"If I'm [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter so much better than you]], [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre then why did Fartor kidnap you instead of me?]]"''
* In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' episode "Patriot Act", General Eiling, who [[FantasticRacism hates metahumans]], takes an experimental serum to become a [[HulkingOut musclebound monster]] and destroy the Justice League. He finds only 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-string Leaguers--none of whom have inherent powers (they all use AppliedPhlebotinum or [[BadassNormal sheer fighting prowess]] to fight)--and starts beating the tar out of them while declaring that superpowered beings are a menace to society. Finally, when Eiling's about to outright murder Shining Knight, some [[HeroicBystander ordinary citizens]] stand up to him and defuse him with this trope. An old woman cuts through the hypocrisy of his mission: "You think killin' Superman would make the world safe? Or killin' this boy? Or ''us?'' Tell me, how many of us do you have to kill to keep us safe?" When Eiling protests that those with super powers are a threat, a kid points out that ''he'' is the only one there who has any. Eiling [[HeWhoFightsMonsters admits that he has become what he sought to destroy]] and retreats.
** Done earlier in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode 'A Better World' between Justice League Batman and his EvilCounterpart Justice Lord Batman. The [[KnightTemplar Justice Lords]] took complete control of their world to eliminate crime, and Batman has this exchange with his counterpart after apparently surrendering to him, and (while parked at a stoplight) witnessing a citizen being taken away by the police for arguing over a restaurant check.
--->'''Batman:''' They'd love it here, don't you think?\\
'''Lord Batman:''' Who?\\
'''Batman:''' Mom and Dad. (narrows eyes) [[SarcasmMode They'd be so proud of you.]]\\
'''Lord Batman:''' ...Just drive.
*** Batman and his counterpart attempt to trade several of these earlier in the episode with Justice Lord Batman eventually getting the one that (seemingly) hits the mark. Even the writers were left stumped until they came up with the above scene.
---->'''Lord Batman:''' Think about it - a world where there's no crimes. No victims. No pain.\\

'''Batman:''' ... You win.
** A later episode of ''Unlimited'' has the ComicBook/TheQuestion confronting Superman over [[spoiler:the above-mentioned Justice Lords might be a BadFuture instead of AnotherDimension as previously assumed.]]

'''Question:''' Not even if [[ComicBook/LexLuthor Luthor]] [[TyrantTakesTheHelm was the government]]?!
** Speaking of [[BlackBossLady Amanda Waller]], the episode "The Doomsday Sanction" features Batman and Waller going head-to-head, with the Caped Crusader demanding to know exactly why Waller and her team have such a grudge against the heroes. Her response is enough to rattle Batman to the point where he [[StunnedSilence can't come up with an answer]] and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness doesn't pull off his signature]] StealthHiBye, instead exiting in plain sight.
--->'''Amanda Waller''': If the Justice League ever went rogue, ''what do you think would be the result?''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** Spoofed in the ''WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror'' segment "Easy Bake Coven", where Marge is accused of being a witch and is about to be pushed off a cliff [[MortonsFork as a test]]:

''(townspeople talk amongst themselves)''\\

** Played straight in "The Principal and the Pauper":
--->'''Agnes:''' ''(reminiscing)'' Now there was a weenie you could be proud to call your son.\\
'''Marge:''' Did you ever tell him that?\\
''([[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Agnes looks regretful]])''
** In "My Sister, My Sitter", Flanders calls Lisa to ask him to babysit her kids -- the morning ''after'' he and the other Springfield citizens accused her of being a dangerous psychopath who incapacitated Bart. Lisa then asks Flanders if he is concerned she might end up harming his kids like she apparently did to Bart. After a {{Beat}}, Flanders [[NonAnswer refuses to answer and instead asks when she is coming over to his house]].

** In the episode "Butterballs", Kyle accuses Stan of exploiting Butters in his anti-bullying video in order to make money. Stan argues that his video could change the way people think about bullying and that it needs to be seen by everyone; Kyle retorts, "If it needs to be seen by everybody, then why don't you put it out on the Internet for free?" After a long silence, Stan's only answer is "What was the question again?"
** In "Cartoon Wars, Part 1", an episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' is set to depict the Muslim prophet [[UsefulNotes/TheProphetMuhammad Muhammad]] uncensored, resulting in several terrorist threats. Kyle tries to defend the ''Family Guy'' writers for standing up for free speech, while Cartman uncharacteristically points out that people can get hurt. This leads to Kyle teaming up with Cartman to get the episode pulled. [[spoiler:It's revealed that Cartman doesn't care about people getting hurt however, and that he's just exploiting the controversy in order to get ''Family Guy'' cancelled, due to a personal hatred for the show.]]

** In the episode 'Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut' when the gathered adults gasp in shock when Mr. Garrison reveals he slept with Mrs. Cartman, he shuts everyone up by asking "Who here has never had sex with Mrs. Cartman?" To which nobody, not even the female mayor or principal in the room can answer.
--->'''Halfy''': I haven't.\\
'''Mr. Garrison''': ...You don't count, Halfy, you don't have any legs!\\
'''Halfy''': Oh. Yeah.
** Averted in "Jakovasaurs." Mr. Garrison wants to keep the discovered female jakovasaur at his house, but is rejected since he'll try to have sex with it like he did with the wounded pigeon. Garrison claims that the pigeon was a whore and asks if anybody didn't sleep with the pigeon. Everyone raises their hand to confirm they didn't.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': In "Moist Vessel", Captain Freeman has no answer when Ensign Mariner points out that she has been acting immature.
-->'''Mariner''': Oh, you think I'm immature? You're the one trying to trick me into quitting. How is that mature?\\
''(Freeman is silent)''\\
'''Mariner''': Yeah, that's what I thought, Carol.

** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E13TrialsOfTheDarksaber "Trials of the Darksaber"]]: [[WarriorTherapist Kanan]] is trying to get Sabine to discuss her issues so they don't get in the way of her sword training, and taunts her by saying that in Mandalorian culture, she's considered a coward for running away. Sabine says that's not true, so Kanan asks:

** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelss3E14LegacyOfMandalore "Legacy of Mandalore"]]: Kanan does it again, during [[spoiler:the duel between Sabine and Gar Saxon, when Sabine's mother Ursa says that no one can interfere in the duel because it's Mandalorian custom. Kanan asks her what she values more, Mandalorian customs or her daughter's life. She can't think of a good answer to that question, and ends up proving it's her daughter's life when she guns down Saxon after he tries to shoot Sabine in the back after losing. Downplayed since Saxon had already been defeated and was (dishonorably) attempting to kill Sabine from behind when he was shot by Ursa.]]

** The first season episode "[[Recap/TeenTitansS1E4ForcesOfNature Forces of Nature]]" features the trouble-making brothers [[MakeMeWannaShout Thunder]] and [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]], who run rampant in Jump City. Thunder has more of a conscience than his brother, but Lightning repeatedly insists that they're "just having fun." When the duo is tricked by [[BigBad Slade]] into releasing a giant flame monster, Lightning gets angry at Thunder's attempts to help the Titans and starts fighting him. But just as he has Thunder pinned down for the killing blow...

*** Batman and his counterpart attempt to trade several of these earlier in the episode with Justice Lord Batman eventually getting the one that (seemingly) hits the mark.

** Speaking of Discord, in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E11KeepCalmAndFlutterOn Keep Calm and Flutter On]]", he manages to do this to ''himself'' when he asks Fluttershy if she thought he'd give up his WorldOfChaos for her sake. The moment he asks, he starts thinking about the question.

'''Rainbow Dash:''' Yeah! ''(beat)'' [[JerkassRealization Ohhhh...]]I see what you did there.

'''Han:''' Yeah? Where are they now?\\

'''Isabella:''' Well...where are yours?

** When Timmy is at fairy court, Jorgen, the prosecutor (or persecutor in this case), asks him if he ever once thanked his godparents for all those wishes he made.

--->'''Remy:''' But...''I'' care if ''YOU'' do! My parents are never home! I never get to see them! Why should you have real parents ''AND'' Fairy Godparents who love you, '''''WHEN I DON'T!!??'''''
** In another episode, Timmy has been wishing for a large volume of new things in preparation for a fairy inspection. Due to a spate of recent shoplifting incidents, his parents fear he might be stealing them and confront him about it. When Timmy gives them his usual excuse (he bought them over the Internet), his dad remains suspicious and asks, "And ''where'' did you get the Internet?" Timmy, caught off-guard, is reduced to stammering.

--->'''Beast Boy''': When you were working for Slade, did we give up on you?

--->'''Terra''': Come on, Raven. What stings the most? That I tricked you? That I nearly wiped out your team? And everyone liked me better than you? ...Or is it that deep down inside ''you really believed I was your friend''?

--->'''Thunder''': Tell me, brother...are we still having fun?
