Preppy has the upperhand

A thugged out girl tests all of her ring tones as loud as possible for a solid minute.

Preppy girl: Are you serious with that? Can you do everyone a favor and stop?
Thug girl: I know you're not talking to me. You messed with the wrong girl.
Preppy girl: I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Your screaming phone made me deaf.
Thug girl: I'll fuck her up. But then she'll call the cops; her people love the cops. Go back to where you came from!
Preppy girl: I'm trying to. That's why I'm on the train, you stupid bitch. Look, you got a new cell phone and that's great, but figure it out at home.
Thug girl: I'll fuck you up. You're fucking with the wrong girl. Don't be fooled by the pretty face.
Preppy girl: Pretty face? Where?

Bandit Queen of India

Wounded Phoolan Devi, taunting the police in a gunfight:

"Himmat na tho chudiya le jao! Goliyan na tho goliyan le jao!"

If you don't have guts, 

take my bangles!

If you don't have goliyan (balls), 

take my goliyan (bullets)!

  Jungle Cat

When asked, what she saw in him, the bride of this brutal Robin Hood, replied:

"His  moustache and his notoriety."

This Be the Verse

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

Philip Larkin
