I'm thinking of a list of what members of this board would "tell" in such a situation:

Go Ahead, Make my Day.

I'm gonna git you suckah!

Do you feel lucky, punk?

Fill your hands you son of a bitch!

You going to draw or whistle dixie?

Nuts!

Say hello to my little friend

Be somewhere else!

But of course, the greatest wisdom is: When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk
Cleanup on aisle 12...

Based on...?

Seriously, everything I hear from Brits at this point is that she's basically the vengeful reanimated remains of Thatcher running around parliament wearing a strap-on wrapped in razorwire.

I mean, Chamberlain's deal was "Yeah Hitler was a naughty boy but we convinced him to stop being naughty." You might doubt May means it when she rails against Islamist terrorism, but she's not pretending the conflict is over by any stretch of the imagination.

There's nothing wrong with talking after you shoot, though. ;) There's a one-liner I think works both for Hollywood pre-fire and IRL after-action:

"Shoulda stayed home, (epithet of choice)"
