*** [[Truth in Television]], some of those—although English doesn't really have an exact analog to how "Molon labe" should be translated. Roughly speaking, what is being rendered as "Come and get them!" is more of a "You can have them if you can get to them." The modern English equivalent would be something along the lines of "You can have my weapon when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers." The line isn't really a Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner, it's a [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner|Pre Getting My Ass Kicked One Liner]], as was the other famous line from Plutarch: "Their" (meaning the Persians) "arrows will darken the sun!"
