* In the 2008 ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]: [[Prince Caspian]]'', Miraz, Caspian's uncle, who murdered Caspian's father, and was planning to do the same to Caspian...is defeated in a duel by Peter. Miraz wonder's why Peter won't kill him, Peter nearly saying the trope word for word, before handing his sword to Caspian.

'''Peter''': ''It's not mine to take''. }}

* Although not a death, something similar to this is subverted in Mc Lintock!. John Wayne's character is thoroughly pissed at another character who almost hung an innocent man, and after giving him a good chewing out, says, "Somebody ought to hit you. But I'm not going to hit you. I'm not going to hit you. (beat) Oh, the hell I'm not" and slugs him.
