--> '''[[spoiler:Discord]]''': You think you can just boss [[spoiler:Discord]] around? You think I'm going to turn all this back because you say so? Because if I don't, I'll lose the one friend I ever had? ''(long, reflective pause)'' Well played, Fluttershy. Well played.

* In ''Film/JurassicPark'', GreatWhiteHunter Muldoon clearly considers the raptors {{WorthyOpponent}}s from the start, hinting that he has been enjoying the challenge of staying one step ahead of their increasingly creative attempts to escape confinement, and is oddly enthusiastic about himself playing TheMostDangerousGame with the creatures in the jungles of the island. When he realizes that he has just been outwitted by the raptors in a well-laid BatmanGambit, he mutters a sincere and respectful "Clever girl" to the pack leader just before being eaten.
