Blackadder

[Blackadder walks into the kitchen, picks up the cat and kicks it into the air]

Baldrick:
Oh, sir! Poor little Mildred the cat, what's he ever done to you?

Blackadder:
It is the way of the world, Baldrick. The abused always kick downwards. I am annoyed, and so I kick the cat, the cat [loud squeak] pounces on the mouse, and finally, the mouse--

Baldrick:
Argh!

Blackadder:
--bites you on the behind.

Baldrick:
And what do I do?

Blackadder:
Nothing. You are last in God's great chain. Unless there's an earwig around here you'd like to victimize.
