* In Literature/ArtemisFowl..well, the book called "The Artemis Fowl Files", Commander Julius Root delivers this line during Holly Short's initiation into [=LEPRecon=]. The test is like a game of paintball, where Root and the initiates 'hunt' one another in a certain area. The initiates are evaluated by how hard they make it for Root to hunt them as he's obviously much more experienced. The only way to get in immediately is: "You tag me before I tag you and you're in. No questions asked." After Holly fails her test because of a run-in with Julius's brother Turnball in the same area, Root gives her one chance to do something to change his mind. She shoots three paintballs at him, delivering an IronicEcho.
