Line 250:
* A subtle example happens in ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'' The reason General Grievous spared Shaak Ti when he obviously could have killed her was because he needed a live witness to let the Jedi Council know that Chancellor Palpatine was gone, as his boss Darth Sidious (who unknown to Grievous, ''was'' Palpatine) had wanted them to know.
* In the climax of the ''[[Rick and Morty]]'' episode "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy", [[The Don|Groupon]] shows up to finish Rick off, but tells Jerry he can go. Not because he cares one wit about Jerry, but because shooting him too would waste a bullet.
* In the ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]] '' episode “Shen Yi Bu”, Jack doesn’t seem all too impressed with Tubbimura, until the overweight ninja - whose obviously desperate for employment - offers to do the first job for free. When Tubbimura is successful in stealing the Sword of Storm, however, Jack still seems unimpressed:
{{quote|'''Jack:''' Gee, I dunno. I was hoping you’d get it to us an hour ago.
'''Tubbimura:''' I shall be more efficient next time
'''Jack:''' IF we decide to hire you.
''(Tubbimura bows and leaves.)''
'''Wuya:''' What do you mean IF? Tubbimura did an excellent job.
'''Jack:''' Oh, yeah! But if he knows we think that, he’ll ask for more money.
'''Wuya:''' Hmm, good point.}}
