GO TO HELL!"

'''Traveller:''' If you want your friend to hear you, you'll have to talk a lot louder than that. [''[[Boom! Headshot!]]''] }}

* ''[[Paul (Film)|Paul]]'': This one had a comedic variant. One of the guys out to capture/kill the alien Paul keeps going on about how he's on a mission from God. The FBI agent also pursuing Paul (and, as it turns out, actually on his side) gives us this gem: "Tell him you failed. *headshot*"

* ''[[Con Air (Film)|Con Air]]'' has "You're not getting near my daughter. Buckle up!" and "Cy..." "...onara!"

** A veteran manages to one-up her later.

Line 348:

{{quote| '''Spencer''': ''(annoyed at himself)'' I've gotta quit saying witty things before I blow.}}

* At the start of a battle in ''[[Final Fantasy X 2 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X-2]]'' (and occasionally before casting spells or using similar special abilities), the girls toss one-liners between themselves, which are context-sensitive depending on the enemy. Clearly [[Woolseyism|the spirit of Woolsey]] had a hand in them, because there's [[Shout Out]] after Shout Out.

Line 468:

* In ''[[Halo Reach]]'', a truly outstanding moment of badassitude- Emile, after manning the mass driver, and giving the Covies hell, has a Phantom drop two Zealots over. What does he do? Well, he {{spoiler|manages to shotgun one of them in the face, before being impaled by the others' Energy Sword. Undeterred, he stabs the other Elite in the neck with his signature, pulling off this ''epic'' line:}}

* ''[[Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'': Cesare Borgia says this as Ezio has cornered him on the tower in Viana and grabbed him by the throat: "I will lead mankind to a new world!

* Roger to the endodroid in ''[[Space Quest (Video Game)|Space Quest]] 6'': "Frosta la keister, baby!" Of course, since not only the line but the whole subplot is a [[Shout Out]] to ''Terminator 2'', the endodroid, like the T-1000, can recover from being frozen and shattered.
