Thank you. It used to be knee length, but then I discovered that when I get angry I like to cut things. I'm not allowed to have scissors any more. It's still pretty lengthy, but I've been threatening to shave half of it for the past week and nobody s...
There are those who don't understand the nobility of horror fiction. 'Isn't there enough horror in the world?' they ask. For all other forms of literature, the value of human life is optional. For horror fiction, it's absolutely necessary. If we don'...

Takagi: [Hans is threatening to kill Takagi if he doesn't divulge the code to the vault] I don't know it, I'm telling you. Get on a jet to Tokyo and ask the Chairman. I'm telling you, you're just going to have to kill me. Hans Gruber: Okay. [shoots T...
Dr. James Farmer, Sr.: [after Tolson is unjustly captured and imprisoned] Since you have no evidence, I suggest you let him go. Sheriff Dozier: Are you threatening me, boy? Dr. James Farmer, Sr.: No, sir. I wouldn't do that. But I cannot speak for th...
Serge X.: Forgive me, Monsieur Gustave, I never meant to betray you. They threatened my life and now they've murdered my only family. M. Gustave: No! Who'd they kill this time? Serge X.: My dear sister. M. Gustave: The girl with the club foot? Serge ...
Dr. Wagner: You must protect her from any kind of excitement. And I do mean any kind, Mr. Kerner. Alexander Kerner: Any kind of excitement. Dr. Wagner: It would be life-threatening. Alexander Kerner: And this here? [Shows the doctor a newspaper readi...
Hagrid: If that dolt of a cousin of yours, Dudley, gives you any grief, you could always, um, threaten him with a nice pair of ears to go with that tail of his. Harry: But, Hagrid, we're not allowed to do magic away from Hogwarts. You know that. Hagr...
Manfred: Sid, the tiger found a shortcut. [Sid looks up at the mountain they will have to climb] Sid: No thanks, I choose life. Diego: [glaring at him where he stands so Sid almost runs into him when turning] Then I suggest you take the shortcut. Sid...
Chattar Lal: Dr Jones, wasn't it the Sultan of Madagascar who threatened to cut off your head if you ever returned to his country? Indiana Jones: No, it wasn't my head. Chattar Lal: Then your hands, perhaps? Indiana Jones: No, it wasn't my hands. It ...
Zazu: Well, as slippery as your mind is, as the King's brother *you* should've been first in line. Scar: [Scar threatens to bite, Zazu retreats toward Mufasa] Well, I was first in line, until the little hairball was born. Mufasa: That hairball is my ...
