Line 40:
*** This earns him an especially choice headbutt from the Batman later on.
**** Of course, in this case Falcone is wrong and Chill was obviously just trying to sound tough to his mob-boss cellmate (or Falcone was lying). Not only is that not what happened; Bruce ''knows'' it wasn't because Bruce was ''there''.
* ''[[Gladiator (Filmfilm)|Gladiator]]'': "They tell me your son squealed like a girl when they nailed him to the cross."
* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''. Early in the movie we learn that Eddie Valiant's brother was murdered by a Toon. After {{spoiler|Judge Doom}} is revealed to be the killer:
{{quote| ''' {{spoiler|Judge Doom}}:''' Remember me, Eddie?! When I killed your brother, I talked ''[falsetto]'' ''[[This Is Sparta|JUST... LIKE... THIIIIIIIIS!!!]]''}}
* ''[[The Princess Bride (Filmfilm)|The Princess Bride]]''. The Man in Black tells Buttercup about the last moments of her love Westley ([[As You Wish|there's more to it than that, however]]):
{{quote| '''Man in Black:''' He died well, that should please you. No bribe attempts or blubbering. He simply said: "Please. Please, I need to live." It was the "please" that caught my memory. I asked him what was so important for him. "True love", he replied. And then he spoke of a girl of surpassing beauty and faithfulness. I can only assume he meant you. You should bless me for destroying him before he found out what you really are.<br />
''[...]''<br />
Line 64:
== Live-Action TV ==
* On ''[[Lost]]'', [[Psycho for Hire]] Keamy gloats about {{spoiler|killing Ben's daughter}} and is promptly stabbed to death by him a few minutes later.
* ''[[Criminal Minds (TV)|Criminal Minds]]'':
** One team of unsubs tortured women to death and then sent DVDs to their families.
** The Boston Reaper threatened to do this {{spoiler|to Jack: "I'm going to find that little bastard son of yours and show him your dead bodies and tell him it's all your fault."}}
* In the ''[[Highlander (TV series)|Highlander]]'' episode "Innocent Man", Sheriff Crowley does this to Duncan MacLeod: "Your friend died on his knees, begging for his life."
* In the Sky One production of ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Going Postal|Going Postal]]'', the psychopathic banshee assassin tells Moist while attacking him that one of his previous victims {{spoiler|the brother of Moist's love interest}} died pathetically. The guy's death is shown at the very beginning, and the banshee's claim isn't really true.
* Happens in the ''[[Tracker]]'' pilot. Rhee gloats that Cole's daughter "went slowly", and Cole responds with "So will you" and proceeds to make the life force collection very slow. Apparently it's more painful when done slowly.
* In [[Supernatural]], Azazel's purpose in ordering the killing of Sam's girlfriend Jessica was to drive Sam to [[The Dark Side]], and this works better if he admits to Sam that he was responsible, sooner or later. The demon who did the actual killing, Brady, also brags about having done so, and his motive appears to be significantly more about [[For the Evulz|evil for its own sake]] than his master's.
Line 74:
 
== Videogames ==
* In ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed Revelations]]'', [[Complete Monster|Swami]] {{spoiler|tells Altair that, right before Altair's son, Sef, was killed, Swami told Sef that it was on his Altaïr's orders, so that he died thinking his father had betrayed him.}}
* Fuminori does this to Kouji in ''[[Saya no Uta (Visual Novel)|Saya no Uta]]''.
* Seymour does this in ''[[Final Fantasy X (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X]]'' when he describes how he slaughtered {{spoiler|the Ronso tribe.}}
* [[Complete Monster|Curtis Blackburn]] does this to {{spoiler|his partner Pedro}} in one of the more infamous (and horrific scenes in ''[[Killer 7]]''. "Your wife... has a mole in a very unique place..."
* In the Safe Ending of ''[[Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors]]'', {{spoiler|Ace decides to tell Snake how great it was to kill his sister. This results in Snake, after taking six shots from Ace's gun, getting up and pinning Ace down inside an incinerator that's about to turn on, killing them both.}}
* There's a couple of rather nasty one for the Human Noble origin in ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'': {{spoiler|"Your parents died on their knees. Your brother's corpse rots in Ostagar; and his brat was burned on a scrap heap, along with his Antivan whore of a wife. And what's left? A fool husk of a son likely to end his days under a rock in the Deep Roads". You can find out later that Fergus is alive, though it will hardly be obvious.}}
* In [[World of Warcraft]] Cataclysm's Dragon Soul raid, Deathwing, when facing Alexstraza, taunts her about how he turned many members of her flight into mindless Twilight drakes, and how painful a process it was. She, with forced stoicism, says they are no longer of her clutch, and the raid has to kill them.
