• Shakespeare's action scenes often use Pre-Asskicking One-Liners—like Macbeth and Henry IV Part 1.
  • Macbeth: "Lay on, Macduff, and damn'd be him who first cries, 'Hold! Enough!'"
  • Henry V, "God for Harry! England and Saint George!"
  • Several from Romeo and Juliet:

Tybalt: What, drawn and talk of peace?! I hate the word. As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee, coward! Mercutio: Come sir, your passado. Romeo: This shall determine that.

• Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: BENJAMIN BARKER!
