"I said, 'Hey,' Mr. Cunningham. How's your entailment getting along? Don't you remember me, Mr. Cunningham? I'm Jean Louise Finch. You brought us some hickory nuts one early morning, remember? We had a talk. I went and got my daddy to come out and thank you. I go to school with your boy. I go to school with Walter; he's a nice boy. Tell him 'hey' for me, won't you? You know something, Mr. Cunningham, entailments are bad. Entailments... Atticus, I was just saying to Mr. Cunningham that entailments were bad, but not to worry. Takes a long time sometimes... What's the matter? I sure meant no harm, Mr. Cunningham."

"Shut up. You. are. all. Pathetic. Coming to a singing gig to see a Game Special? Do none of you have brains? This is Mina's gig, not mine, and she sings. If you can't like that, then Get Out!."

"Titans are terrible creatures, and once someone gives in to that fear, they can never fight one again! Those of you who have already experienced that dread are free to go away! FINALLY! Those of you would let their parents, siblings and loved ones to experience such terror for themselves ... are all free to walk away!"
—Dot Pixis, Attack on Titan
"[to the crowd chanting "Bart sucks!"] YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED! Passing judgement on a child for a sports boo-boo! ... Now thanks to you, my special little guy will be haunted by this for the rest of his life! All this time, I thought that [billboard] was just a slogan to attract small businesses. [points to a billboard reading "Springfield: Meanest City in America"] But now I know it's the truth!"
—Marge Simpson to the crowd in The Simpsons: "Boys Of Bummer"
"Go ahead! Kill me! That's why I'm here, isn't it? Well, here I am, so go ahead and do it! You all want me to pick up that sword and fight him, don't you? But I don't have a chance, and you know it! You only want me to pick up a fight so your precious honor will be satisfied! Well, I'm not going to make it so easy for you. Having me fight D'Ghor is nothing more than an execution, so if that's what you want, that's what you'll get: an execution. No honor. No glory. And when you tell your children and grandchildren of how you rose to power and took Grilka's house from her, I hope you remember to tell them how you heroically killed a Ferengi...half your size!"
—Quark, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "The House of Quark"
"Shut your fuckin' holes! Which one of you fucks just said, 'What's one more?' Huh?! Was it you?! You?! You sit there chantin' 'Kill, kill, kill!!' But how many of you ever killed a man before? Huh?! Lemme fill you fuckin' hyenas in on something. Killin' a man is like... It's like... It's fucking terrifying! I still get nightmares of that day. Every fuckin' night, I see those eighteen guys. My fists bashin' their heads. Sound of crushin' bone. Screams. The fear on their dead faces... It's like it happened yesterday. Shit, I know I scarred their families for life. I feel awful. But that... the remorse is nothing compared to the real horror! Once ya kill someone, you can never escape the horror of what you done! I gotta relive that bloodbath every day! You have any idea what that's like?!"
—Taiga Saejima, Yakuza 4
Brian: You know what? Fuck you! (...) I'm not a racist, alright? I just told a bad joke. There's a huge difference! But nobody on the internet ever takes the time to ask themselves, "Is this worth freaking out over?" or "Are there bigger problems in the world than this tweet?" Well, I assure you, there are! And just for the record, I love black people! I've watched tons of black porn! So what do you all want from me? Huh? D-Do you want to ruin my life? Then congratulations, you did it! Everybody hates me! I can't leave the house without getting harassed! No one will hire me!
Stewie: That was a problem before...
Brian: I can't turn on my phone without strangers telling me to kill myself, or that they're gonna kill my family! Leave me alone! I'm the self-righteous liberal douchebag, not you! I've kissed a transsexual before! How many of you can say that?! Where's my fucking medal?! I am so far-left, I'm spinning in circles, you shitheads! Instead of killing myself, I SHOULD KILL ALL OF YOU!

"Did the defendant make mistakes? Sure, he did. Serious mistakes, but did he actually commit any crimes? Did he commit treason? No. I mean, it was an impossible situation; when the Cylons arrived, what could he possibly do? What could've anyone done? If he had refused to surrender, the Cylons would've probably nuked the planet right then and there. So did he appear to cooperate with the Cylons? Sure. So did hundreds of others. (Beat) What's the difference between him and them? The president issued a blanket pardon; they were all forgiven, no questions asked. I shot down a civilian passenger ship... the Olympic Carrier, over a thousand people on board; forgiven. I raised my weapon to a superior officer, committed an act of mutiny. Forgiven. And then, on the very day Baltar surrendered to those Cylons, I as commander of Pegasus, jumped away! I left everybody on that planet alone, undefended, for months! I even tried to persuade the admiral never to return! To abandon you all there for good! If I had my way, nobody would've made it off that planet! (Beat) I'm the coward. I'm the traitor! I'd say we're very forgiving of mistakes. We make our own laws now, our own justice - and we've been pretty creative at finding ways for letting people off the hook for everything, from theft to murder. (to Baltar) You have to die! You have to die because, well, because we don't like you very much! Because you're arrogant. Because you're weak. Because you're a coward. Beat And we, the mob, we want to throw you out the airlock because you didn't STAND UP TO THE CYLONS AND GET YOURSELF KILLED IN THE PROCESS! THAT'S JUSTICE NOW! YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN KILLED BACK ON NEW CAPRICA BUT SINCE YOU HAD THE TEMERITY TO LIVE, WE'RE GONNA EXECUTE YOU NOW! THAT'S justice! (audience murmurs in disapproval) And we're trying to dump all that guilt and all that shame, onto one man. And then flush him out the airlock and hope that that just gets rid of it all! So that we can live with ourselves. But that won't work."

"I know you have received orders from our commandant, which he has received from his superiors, to dispose of the population of this camp. Now would be the time to do it. Here they are; they're all here. This is your opportunity. Or, you could leave, and return to your families as men instead of murderers."
—Oskar Schindler to some SS guards, Schindler's List
"Zootopia is a unique place. It's a crazy, beautiful, diverse city, where we celebrate our differences. This is not the Zootopia I know. The Zootopia I know is better than this. We don't just blindly assign blame. We don't know why these attacks keep happening. But it is irresponsible to label all predators as savages. We cannot let fear divide us. Please, give me back the Zootopia I love."
—Gazelle, Zootopia
"Listen up. Everyone. That's why we have laws. You almost killed an innocent man. Now, go home."

"Your son was butchered at the Red Wedding, Lord Manderly, but you refused the call. You swore allegiance to House Stark, Lord Glover, but in their hour of greatest need, you refused the call. And you, Lord Cerwyn, your father was skinned alive by Ramsay Bolton. Still you refused the call. But House Mormont remembers. The North remembers! We know no king but the King in the North whose name is Stark. I don't care if he's a bastard. Ned Stark's blood runs through his veins. He's my king from this day until his last day!"
—Lyanna Mormont, Game of Thrones
"You cannot face reality, so you try to form a mob and start barking at us! Clearly, you cannot live life without any pain!"
