Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 3

[Thinking he's alone, Xander discovers a bomb in basement of the school]

Xander:
[to bomb] Hello, nasty. [to himself] Less than two minutes. Dumb guy. Little bomb. How hard can it be?

[Jack, leader of the zombie gang, knocks him to the floor]

Jack:
And it just got harder.

Xander:
I'm not leaving 'til that thing's disarmed.

Jack:
Then I guess you're not leaving. I'm gonna carve you up and serve you with gravy. You piss me off, boy. Now you pay the price. First the eyes, then the tongue. I'm gonna break every one of your fingers.

Xander:
You gonna do all that in forty-nine seconds?

[Jack looks at the bomb's clock, then the door, then Xander.]

Xander:
I know what you're thinking. Can I get by him? Get up the stairs, out of the building, seconds ticking away. I don't love your chances.

Jack:
Then you'll die, too.

Xander:
Yeah, looks like. So I guess the question really is: Who has less fear?

Jack:
I'm not afraid to die. I'm already dead.

Xander:
Yeah, but this is different. Being blown up isn't walking-around-and-drinking-with-your-buddies dead. It's little-pieces-being-swept-up-by-a-janitor dead, and I don't think you're ready for that.

Jack:
Are you?

Xander:
[tired smile] I like the quiet.
