Line 4:
What's better than killing your most hated enemy? Sending them into the afterlife with your voice in their ears and the knowledge of your [[Badass|badassery]] in their head, that's what.
 
This finishing quote need not be a [[One Liner]], but [[Just Between You and Me|the longer your little speech goes]], the more likely the bad guy will find some way to evade your intended killing blow or worse, make you [[Talk to The Fist]]. Consequently, [[Genre Savvy]] heroes are advised to just [[Kill Him Already]] and save the pithy quotes for [[Bond -One Liner|immediately afterwards]]. Of course, sometimes (as in the ''Heroes'' and ''Matrix'' examples) it seems that a [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]] somehow paralyzes your enemy while you deliver it, or maybe they're just courteous.
 
The [[Roar Before Beating|monstrous equivalent]] is less articulate. Not to be confused with a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]], which is used at the beginning of a fight; these quotes are used to ''end'' the fight. Also related but different is a one-liner delivered when [[So Long Suckers|escaping from battle]].
