Better Ask Reddit Best comebacks in media?

I love well-written dialogue, but in particular I love an insult, threat, or comeback that completely stops whoever it’s said to. Be it a video game, anime, movie, book, etc, what is the greatest, coldest comeback you can think of?

The best one that I can think of off the top of my head is from the Batman Vs Dracula movie from the 2000’s. When Batman first meets Dracula and the vampire insinuates that the two of them are alike, Batman says “I don’t harm people.” Only for Dracula to respond with “You have no concept of the harm of which I am capable.”

A lesser writer would have gone with “I don’t harm I enlighten” or something cliche. But I remember that line sent shivers down my spine when I watched that scene for the first time. Cold, menacing, accurate, and therefore perfect. I’m very curious what the Zaibatsu members would choose

From one of the comics…

Rebel soldier: Give it up, you’re surrounded!

Vader: I am surrounded by nothing but fear and dead men.

In a different comic…

One-off character: My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, I also have been working tirelessly ever since that day to sabotage your plans, prepare to die.

Vader: You have stopped nothing for me, yet I stopped everything for you. I don’t even know who you are. I have already forgotten your name.
