To the Pain/Quotes

""There are many levels of pain. You have just crossed into the... 'welcome mat'. You have not even entered the door, walked down the hallway, and gone up the stairs to visit the V.I.P. rooms.""

- "Spanish Mike" Alvarez, Reno 911!, "Spanish Mike Returns"

""Oh, I'm sorry, Budd. That was rude of me, wasn't it? Budd, I'd like to introduce my friend, the Black Mamba. Black Mamba, this is Budd. You know, before I picked up that little fella, I looked him up on the Internet. Fascinating creature, the Black Mamba. Listen to this:" "'In Africa, the saying goes, in the bush, an elephant can kill you, a leopard can kill you, and a Black Mamba can kill you. But only with the Mamba--and this has been true in Africa since the dawn of time--is death sure. Hence, its handle, Death Incarnate.' Pretty cool, huh?" "'Its neurotoxic venom is one of nature's most effective poisons, acting on the nervous system causing paralysis. The venom of a Black Mamba can kill a human in four hours, if say, bitten on the ankle or the thumb. However, a bite to the face or torso can bring death from paralysis within twenty minutes." "Now, you should listen to this, 'cause this concerns you: 'The amount of venom that can be delivered from a single bite can be gargantuan.' You know, I've always liked that word, 'gargantuan' ... so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence. 'If not treated quickly with anti-venom, ten to fifteen milligrams can be fatal to human beings. However, the Black Mamba can deliver as much as one hundred to four hundred milligrams of venom from a single bite.'" "Now, in these last agonizing minutes of life you have left, let me answer the question you asked earlier more thoroughly: right at this moment, the biggest 'R' I feel is Regret. Regret that maybe the greatest warrior I have ever known met her end at the hands of a bushwhacking, scrub, alky piece of shit like you! That woman deserved better.""

- Elle Driver from Kill Bill Volume 2.

""Destroy. Destroy. Destroy. Slowly, completely, gently beyond comparison, cruelly to the point of numbness, I'll violate your life. That's right. The instant I rip off your limbs, tear open your ribs and pull out your intestines, biting into your neck as you scream in agony, chewing through your eyes as I ignore your pleas for mercy and spreading your brains on the ground like butter...!""

- Arcueid, Tsukihime

""Long shall be your suffering. Joyous be your pain.""

- Asteroth, Daemon prince of Slaanesh,Warhammer 40,000

""As you well know, Isaac, I enjoy pain. It's like a good chinese dinner, you know, with the sweet and the sour. Expanding on that analogy, I will smile with delight - that's the sweet - as you scream for your fucking life - of course, that's the sour.""

- Papa Caesar, House of the Dead: Overkill

""My hobby is to slowly peel the skin off the rabbits I catch, especially cute little bunnies like you. And my friend here is thirsty for blood.""

- Vega, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie

""2000 degrees, Mick. Enough to turn steel into butter. It won't hurt at first. It's too hot, you see? The flame sears the nerve endings shut, killing them. You'll go into shock and all you'll feel is...cold. Isn't science fun, Mickey?""

- Frank Castle, The Punisher (2004)

""You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing... to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure. And of course, it's not only the immediate agony, but the knowledge... that if you do not yield soon enough... there will be little left to identify you as a man. The only question remains: will you yield, in time?""

- Le Chiffre, Casino Royale (2006) (while hitting James Bond with a rope)

"Charrid Soldier: Don't glare at me, I'm not impressed. You think a Hynerian could ever frighten me? Rygel: Oh, I'm not here to frighten you, nonononono. Charrid Soldier: Then what? To question me? Plainly, you are unaware of our superior resistance to pain. Rygel: Actually I do know something about Charrid physiology, just as I know something about your weaponry. (He chuckles to himself) This ractor, for instance, contains neural circuits that inflict ten times the normal pain- designed to be effective even against your own kind. A very unpleasant death. Charrid Soldier: You don't dare kill me! Rygel: Don't I? Charrid Soldier: The others want me alive! Rygel: Yes, well, plainly you're unaware of one more fact: I don't give a garanta's vrax what the others want."

""Violence perceived is violence achieved.""

- Michel Weston, Burn Notice

"Colonel Manton, I want you to tell your men to run away. Those words. "Run away." I want you to be famous for those exact words. I want people to call you Colonel Run-Away. I want children laughing outside your door, 'cause they’ve found the house of Colonel Run-Away. And, when people come to you, and ask if trying to get to me through the people I LOVE!!! …is in any way a good idea, I want you to tell them your name. Oh, look! I’m angry. That’s new... I’m really not sure what’s going to happen now."
