A Well-Known [[Stock Phrase]], it's often includes [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] and/or [[Let's Get Dangerous]]. Made famous from the film ''[[Scarface]]'', a character would at times express the line following with either another person, random animal, or an object to be used as a weapon, with the last usually the case. It can have version of the phases, often in a plural or play on.
 
A well-known [[Stock Phrase]], it's a very specific [[Sub-Trope]] of both [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] and [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: a character produces ''something'' -- almost always a weapon when the trope is [[Played Straight]] -- and delivers this line. Naturally, the line is also employed in humorous and sarcastic contexts, where the object so produced may be inappropriate, unexpected and/or anything but dangerous, and may in fact be an actual friend to the character. And smaller than them.
