[[Stock Phrases|Stock phrase]] used to indicate that the character being addressed isn't quite as untouchable as he or she might like to think. Can be used in any context, but is often used by [[Da Chief]] towards the [[Cowboy Cop]] after some particularly reckless form of police action (usually as a preamble to the eventual demand that he [[Turn in Your Badge|Turn In Your Badge]]), or by the [[Bad Boss]] towards a [[The Dragon|Dragon]] who might be showing signs of getting a bit too cocky and / or entertaining thoughts of taking over the evil operation.

The outcome varies depending on hero to villain; the [[Cowboy Cop]] will inevitably prove his boss wrong by single-handedly bringing down the criminal organisation, killing the bad guy and defeating the evil scheme where the [[Redshirt Army|entire police department]] before him failed, usually immediately after being canned. [[The Dragon]], on the other hand, will usually find his boss' words being proved entirely accurate, usually by means of a horrible death after being informed that [[You Have Failed Me]].
