Ashnard: The thing that killed my father was not plague, nor was it another illness. It was me.
Whitley: So what do you believe transpired, dear mother?
Willow: Don't make me say it.
Whitley: Do you believe that, I did it? That a son would be so depraved as to murder his own father?
Willow: It's not unheard of.
Whitley: Then woe unto the mother to have birthed such a monster.

"You killed your own father, and then ya fed him to your HALF! BROTHER!!"
Scott Tenorman to Eric Cartman, South Park ("201")

Jonny: I mean... in Oedipus' defense, it's harder than it looks not to end up in an emotionally charged narrative climax where you murder your father. It's—

King Valentine: Who are you?
Cornelius: I am Prince Cornelius, of Titania.
King Valentine: I see...Edmund's boy... I didn't understand why you carried the mystic sword of Titania... But now I see why he gave you that patricidal blade.
Cornelius: Patricide?
King Valentine: I don't think he'd tell you. He killed his own father, King Gallon, and took the crown.

That voice...that gave me the sword... It knew who I am. No! It can't be! That cannot be my grandfather!
King Valentine: *with an amused chuckle* King Gallon must have wept in his cell. In addition to killing his own citizens, *amused laugh* he was slain by his own son.

Our military forces were crushed under his feet, and we were scattered. *shakes his head* There was no time for anger. The beast continued to rampage through the kingdom for seven days.
Cornelius: So my father destroyed the beast in order to save the country...

I was young and stupid and willing to help. She poisoned our father... Our polic force founds out out immediately. I don't know how. Murder is the most grievous sin we have on Byr. Patricide? Doubly so."
