There's a scene in an episode of Firefly, "Trash" I think it is, when Jayne gets knocked out. He wakes up on Simon's table in the infirmary, and finds that he can't move. Simon explains that he's temporarily paralyzed him, so that they can have a discussion. Simon explains that he and Jayne don't like each other, but that they have to be able to trust one another, and that he wants Jayne to know that he needn't ever worry that Simon will do anything bad to him while he's in his care.
Simon leaves, and River sticks her head inside, and says to Jayne, "Also, I can kill you with my mind." The look on Jayne's face is priceless.
Another of my favourite one-liners is from Red Dwarf VI, "Gunmen of the Apocalypse": Starbug is about to crash into a moon, and Rimmer analyzes the situation: "We have to face the fact that we won't all get out of this in one piece -- or if we do, it will be one big flat piece."
