Note that this sort of threat is always telegraphed in advance. The hero may or may not be at the villain's mercy -- formercy—for reasons related to [[Bond Villain Stupidity]]. When the villain finally utters a [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]] prior to delivering a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|beat-down]] of some sort, that's [[Prepare to Die]].

** [[The Chessmaster|The Architect]] pulls the "We won't" (meet again) line on Neo after he chooses Door #2.<br /><small>(the door that "[[Screw Destiny|Leads Inexorably]] To The Extinction Of Every Last Human Being on the Planet".)</small>
