Teen Titans, Season 1

Slade:
I have much to teach you. But the first thing you need to learn is gratitude.

[Robin tries for another go at the kill switch, but Slade seizes his arm and bends it back cruelly past the shoulder before dumping him onto his back.]

Slade:
[As he's pinning him down.] I made you my apprentice. All my knowledge, all my power, all for you. But the only thing you care about is your WORTHLESS, LITTLE FRIENDS! [They both get up] If the Titans are so distracting, maybe I should just get rid of them.

[He prepares to finish the Titans off for good.]

Robin:
[defeated] Don't. I'll do whatever you say.

Slade:
Good boy. And, from now on, I'd like you to call me Master.

[A starbolt blasts him away to land right in front of the monitors. Then come the Titans.]

Starfire:
Leave. Him. Alone!

Slade:
Robin! Attack!

Robin:
Get out of here! Go! You don't know what those beams did to-

Beast Boy:
Dude…

Raven:
…We know…

Cyborg:
…And we don't care.

Starfire:
We are your friends, Robin. We are not leaving without you.

Slade:
How very touching. [puts his finger on the button] But Robin doesn't need any friends.

[He presses it, bringing the rapparatus to life; red energy bolts blaze out across the space. The Titans collapse on the ground as Robin, helplessly, watches them while Slade stands behind him.]

Slade:
This is the price for your disobedience, Robin. Now do as I command. Attack!

[As Robin sees Starfire tears running down her cheeks, he looks off in the direction of the device.]

Robin:
No. [He dashes off.]

Slade:
Robin!

[Robin runs towards the device and gets himself infected with nano probes. His name and infected bloodstream appear on a 5th monitor. He starts to glow in pain but manages to rise and walk up to Slade]

Robin:
[painfully] New deal, Slade. If I lose my friends, you lose your apprentice. And I know how you hate to lose.

[Robin falls down on his knees as he continues to die slowly. Because of his ego, Slade finds himself no choice but to destroy the kill switch. Enraged he tries to attack again, but Robin quickly counters his move, leaving him flying across the room.]

Robin:
Titans! Go!

[Beast Boy, now a tiger, is first to do damage with a clawed swipe that pierces the armor. Cyborg and Starfire move in next, starbolts and cannon going full throttle to blast Slade backward. As he tumbles, Raven casts a spell to bind his feet and sling him hard onto the platform. Only now does Robin go on the attack, delivering a flying kick that pastes a boot sole across that masked face. The right half of his mask drops away and skids across the floor, and he now stands up with one big hand covering the exposed portion of his visage. He turns and runs off.]

Slade:
Another day, Robin.

[He has slotted his fingers into holes bored for a better grip, similar to a bowling ball, and he turns it.]

Slade:
Another day.

[The whole lair was set to self-destruct. Slade gets away, and before the Titans can leave, Cyborg grabs the device that contains a solution to get rid of the probs inside them.]

Robin:
Let's go home.
