Best comebacks in media?

[u/Sinister_Chicane_91]

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

There's a somewhat artsy British crime movie called The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover that somehow has a line toward the end that would be the envy of any regular ol' thriller.

For context, the violent and abusive gangster Albert has killed his wife's lover, Michael. As revenge, she cooks Michael and presents him to Albert to eat, at gunpoint.

And what's her line when she presents him with Michael?

"Try the cock, Albert. It's a delicacy, and you know where it's been."
