16
17	So the villain's got the hero cornered. As a mocking gesture, the villain asks the hero if there are any last words he would like to say before he dies. The hero would often make a snappy comeback, a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech or a PreAsskickingOneLiner, depending on what's going on or what's going through his mind. Or they could just [[ProfaneLastWords resort to obscenities]].
18
19	A villain who asks this will usually make a comment on what they think of those last words—whether they're good or bad.
20
21	Other times it's an executioner asking a prisoner sentenced to death asking if the condemned would like to make a final statement. At times, the response is the same as above.
22
23	Usually related to PreAsskickingOneLiner or BondOneLiner.

Chakkik responds by quoting, "[...][[Literature/MobyDick for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee...]]" followed by a SpitefulSpit. Titus prepares to kill him and the GaryStu protagonist anyway, but [[spoiler:what he doesn't know is that Chakkik has become part of a BadassAndChildDuo, and the child in question was requesting the assistance of ''Davy Jones himself'' at the time. Suffice it to say, she is ''not happy'' when she finds out what Titus did, and at [[SummonBiggerFish her command, the Kraken]] [[TotalPartyKill devours Titus, the protagonist Stu, and every single one of the villain's remaining crew members besides]]]].
199	* In ''WebVideo/RealTimeFandub'''s dub of ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'', Shadow asks this of Eggman after defeating him on two separate occasions. The first time, Eggman responds with a deadpan "Urp... I'm dying. It all hurts", prompting mass {{Corpsing}} from the rest of the cast.[[note]]His ''actual'' last words end up being "You don't even know--" before Shadow [[KilledMidSentence cuts him off]].[[/note]] The second time, Shadow immediately concedes that they won't actually be Eggman's last words on account of the GroundhogDayLoop he's seemingly trapped in, and ultimately leaves without finishing him off anyway.
