So, I'm trying to come up with some possible bad-ass phrases for my character to have as trademark line before killing people. He's a half-orc Figther/MC Ranger, and a fanatical follower of (Forgotten Realms) Bane.
Because I steal almost all my ideas, I've been looking for inspiration in movies... but the best I can come up with is, "You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?" from Tim Burton's Batman. Jules' biblical tirade from Pulp Fiction is awesome, but rather too long-winded for use at the game table.
Anyone have any ideas?
And while we're at it, any suggestions for battle cries?

The only thing I can think of that's not genre-specific: "Dead or alive, you're coming with me" - Robocop These seem more suited AFTER killing someone: "Anybody else want to negotiate?" - Korben Dallas, Fifth Element "I am the law!" - Judge Dredd Here's a link when I googled "bad-ass quotes" www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1602245...

Thanks for the response.
Heh, I actually have the Robocop quote in my notes. I'm not sure whether I'd prefer to find an occasion for Tazok (my Fighter) to use it, or an NPC in the campaign that I DM. There are some NPCs in my campaign it would be perfect for, including a Paladin for whom "justice" and law come first, with "Good" being only a very distant concern (he's inspired by Vhailor, from Planescape: Torment). It's probably more useful for an NPC than for Tazok, because Tazok usually isn't taking anyone anywhere.
Another quote I might use from the same scene in Robocop is, "You probably don't think I'm a very nice guy. Do ya?"
The other ones could be useful, too... but , as you say, after killing someone.
One other trademark I've got for the character is (based on No Country for Old Men), "What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?" If the victim calls it right, they get branded with the symbol of Bane. If they call it wrong... they get the drow long knife.

You could modify the classic for vengence "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. you killed my father. Prepare to die!" from Princess Bride.

That is a classic line, but:
"My name is Tazok Koveras. You are my father. Prepare to die."
That just doesn't have the same ring to it.

"I must break you."
"Everyone dies, friend. It's your turn today."
"You still have a bit of time. I strongly recommend pissing yourself, followed by a round of prayer to your impotent god. You may even have time to commit good old-fashioned suicide!"
"Come on, show me what you've got! Prove that you're worthy of this fight! Come on, come on! Come on! COME ON!!!" (said in a ragged, animalistic voice)
The original core books said that this was our game too. It doesn't feel like that anymore.
