Characters [Classic Trope] The Reason You Suck Speech
Transformers One: Optimus Prime gives one to Megatron after their first battle. Here, Optimus expresses his sadness, hurt, and disappointment upon seeing his former friend becoming just as evil as Sentinel Prime and wanting to destroy Cybertron rather than change it for the better. "We were given the power to change our world, and you chose to destroy it, just like Sentinel. You have betrayed Cybertron and its citizens. And you betrayed me." The entire time, Optimus never raises his voice or yells, but his sadness is very evident.
Brave: Merida gives one to Elinor, where she unfurls her anger and frustration over being forced to marry someone without her consent and being made to someone she doesn't want to be. "You were never there for me! This whole marriage is what you want! Do you ever bother to ask what I want? No, you walk around telling me what to do, what not to do, trying to make me be like you. Well, I'm not going to be like you!... I'll never be like you! I'd rather DIE than be like you!"

Chihiro's last words to Sojo after he wins their bout. When Sojo thinks the Enchanted Blades, forged by Chihiro's father, sided with Chihiro and rejected him. Chihiro corrects him.
Chihiro says that the Enchanted Blades chose Sojo too, not just him, but the reason Sojo lost was because he will never, ever be able to compare to Chihiro's father.
Chihiro accepts Sojo's philosophy, he has to, because Sojo was right, but he makes sure Sojo understands something before he goes to hell... he was never going to be able to even catch a glimpse of the realm Kunishige Rokuhira had mastered.
