Teddy: You want to sneak off to Latveria without us? Please do. The less my friends and I have to do with you—or your father—or Doctor Doom—the better. But if you somehow manage to convince my idiot boyfriend to go with you… I will rip your legs off! Do we understand each other, Pietro?

YOU'RE LUCKY [Rei] LOVES YOU, YOU IDIOT. YOU BETTER TREAT HER LIKE THE GODDESS SHE IS, OR I'LL FEED YOU TO UNIT-02, NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE.

"Wounds of the heart don't heal as well as wounds of the skin and bones. I learned that a long time ago. But I'll say this much – your father's not here and Dacey Surestone is cousin to Ned Stark himself, so no-one in their right mind would call her lowborn. So there's nothing to stop you courting her. That said – break her heart and I'll break the bits of you that Ned leaves intact. And then Roose Bolton will take his turn. He liked her father as well. We all did."
— GreatJon Umber, Robb Returns
Lea: Your daughter would be lucky to get a guy like Roxas. How can you even call yourself a mom? It took a lot of courage for [Roxas and his harem] to admit this to you and the other parents and you walk out on them?
EAH Snow White: You expect me to let him have my daughter as part of his… harem?
EAH Snow White: Ha! Please, my little Apple Dumpling loves me with all her heart.
Lea: Oh really? Because after that stunt you pulled nearly expelling Roxas you think she's forgiven you? She didn't even hug you back. Everyone thinks because you spent a week in that stupid mirror you're reformed, but not me. Snow White, if you ever try anything on Roxas again I WILL BURN YOU!
Oliver blushed, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. He gave a low bow before procuring a small corsage and offering it to Harry.
"Aww—"
"'Ittle Harrykins is growing up—"
"—better treat her well, Captain, else—"
"—she'll kick your arse," Fred finished, and the twins exchanged amused glances.

"Is this the part where you say if I hurt her, you'll kill me?"
"No," said Simon. "If you hurt Clary she's quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons."

Your speech and behavior has the potential to emotionally damage Nicole. I can't allow that. It could potentially reduce her combat ability to an unacceptable level for maintaining her personal safety. It is only because you are a fellow employee that I am giving you this one warning. If I think your behavior will damage Nicole, I will be forced to kill and dismantle you. Not necessarily in that order. Understood?

Lorelai: See, Rory is my daughter—
Dean: Ah, he comes the talk.
Lorelai: How about I talk, you listen? Rory is a smart kid, she's never been much for guys, so the fact that she likes you means a lot. I don't believe she'd waste her time with some loser.
Dean: But you're watching me.
Lorelai: Sweetheart, the whole town is watching you. That girl in there is beloved around here. You hurt her, and there's not a safe place within a hundred miles for you to hide.

"I won’t waste elaborate verbal flourishes. Let me pay you the compliment of being very plain: Lilith has shown a terrible lapse in judgement. It will be dealt with… but she is my wife and off limits to you. I want to be inescapably clear: if you harm her, I will destroy you. There is more than one way to destroy something, whole unknown dimensions of oblivion in varying bites: I know them all. If you continue, the person who walked into this building today will no longer exist, and your secret society will come to regret it. I will not hesitate. I will not twirl my moustache. I do not make idle threats."

"I'm not an unreasonable man, <Name>. That's but a miminum. But don't you go around upsetting her like the last one did, or —"
Oh yes, you've heard this one before. Don't you go making her cry, or he'll come to get you, right?
"Oh no, I won't come to get you. Someone else more terrible than me will. Her Idiot brother, to be precise."
You chance a look at Garret, sprawled out at a nearby table with his arms outstretched and his head between his elbows. Yeeeah... you have your doubts about how terrifying Garth's idiot son is.
"Don't underestimate him. Sometimes, my son being an idiot has its uses. He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you're dragged back in here by the scruff of your neck to pay your dues to my little girl. You get me?"

"We have a common enemy, but I don't trust you either. Not one bit. Switching sides at the last possible moment might win you brownie points with some, but not with me. Don't mistake this temporary truce for anything other than that. Temporary. The only reason either of you is still standing here is because of Stephen, not because of me. If, God forbid, something happened to him because of either of you, they'd be scraping bits of you off the yankee stadium for several weeks. If I ever catch either of you near me or anyone I care about after this, I will end you. And if I ever glance a TMZ report about Stephen and I supposedly vacationing alone together on the Spanish Riviera, I will find you and we'll finish what we started here. That's not a threat, it's a promise. Got it?
