Naruto: "As long as you admit that you're Mukade, I'm not letting you get away!"
Anrokuzan: "Mukade, huh? I put that hoodlum's name behind me long ago. I am now Lord Minister Anrokuzan of Rōran and I control this city!"

Ken Masters: Nice party, Sagat. Didn't anyone tell you there's a curfew?
Sagat: In Shadaloo city, nobody tells me anything!
Sagat: In Shadaloo city, nobody tells me anything!
"Look around you. You'll see two councilmen, a union official, a couple of off-duty cops and a judge. Now, I wouldn't have a second's hesitation blowing your head off right here, right now, in front of them. That's power you can't buy."
—Carmine Falcone, Batman Begins
Biff: (to Marty, standing at a ledge) Go ahead, kid, jump! A suicide'll be nice and neat.
Marty: What if I don't?
Biff: (draws a pistol) Lead poisoning.
Marty: What about the police, Biff? They're gonna match up the bullet to your gun.
Biff: Kid, I own the police! Besides... they couldn't match the bullet that killed your old man.
Marty: (dawns on him that Biff killed George) You son of a-

"I run this town, Superman. Metropolis belongs to me. The people are mine to nurture, or destroy, as I see fit. And they've forgotten that. They've looked at you, with your costume and your flashy super-human powers...and they've forgotten who their master is. Who is number one! And I intend to remind them, Superman."
"You see, ah, "Superman"... I own Metropolis. My technology built it, my will keeps it going, and nearly two-thirds of its people work for me whether they know it or not. Even you have to admit, it's a model of efficiency."
Shepard: You run Omega?
Aria T'Loak: [chuckle] I am Omega! But you need more. Everyone needs more something. And they all come to me. I'm the boss, CEO, queen if you're feeling dramatic. It doesn't matter. Omega has no titled ruler and only one rule: Don't fuck with Aria.

Franz Sanchez: In this business, there's a lot of cash. And a lot of people with their hands out.
Kwang: In a word... bribery.
Sanchez: Exactly. He took the words right out of my pocket. Everyone and his brother is on the payroll. So, you buy a mayor, chief of police, generals, presidents. One day you wake up and you own the whole goddamn country. Then you take what you want. Banks. Government Casino. Airline concession. Why? Simple. It's easier for the politicians to take silver than lead.

I OWN THIS TOWN! I'm the mayor, I'm the governor, I'm the police AND the crime! And WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO CHANGE THAT?!

Gordon: Falcone works for you? The mayor? The DA?
Kenzie: ...No. We work for him. Everybody does.
Batman: How?
Kenzie: Through Renewal. Renewal is everything.
Gordon: The Renewal Fund?
Kenzie: Yeah. After Thomas Wayne died, they all went after it like vultures. The mayor, Falcone, Maroni, everyone got in on it. It was perfect... for making bribes, laundering money. A huge charitable fund with no oversight, everybody got a piece. But Falcone wanted more... so we orchestrated a play to take Maroni down big. He'd rat out his drops operation, make the careers of everyone that went after him, then install them all as his puppets. You think this goddamn election matters? Falcone's mayor. He's been the mayor for the last twenty years.

"C'mon, I didn't let you take my money the first time. What makes you think this is any different? You actually thought I would front you the cash to save your from this loser? Then sit around while you were encroaching on my territory? Greed's always been your problem. You got a lot to learn about the big times, little man. This city is mine, and it's time for you to disappear again."
