Pierce: “This train was commandeered legally under the—”
“Holy nutballs! What happened to your frickin’ face?!”
“Oh yeah? How about this - lady? - I don’t even know what to call you: you tell me why you look like you headbutted a belt sander, and I’ll let all of you go right now.”

This ones great. Where does it come from?

Any time a critical character dies (usually because you’re on a killing spree) it says that. But it’s also become a meme when someone famous dies in real life.
