Plus, I doubt the person making the threat would wait for any actual preparations such as canceling various subscriptions. And I don’t think they’d allow for the necessary witnesses required while I’m writing my will.
Inigo Montoya would like to have a word with you…
He wasn’t doing it as a threat. He was doing it because he was a gentleman who happened to be seeking revenge.
Inigo Montoya saying it so many times feels like an action movie where some idiot with a gun cocks it over and over every time they really mean it this time.
Except of course Mandy Patinkin is a fucking treasure.
I watched a lot of movies as a kid, but I never noticed until Back to the Future (the 2nd one, I think), with Biff Tannen cocking his revolver excessively on the roof. That movie caused me to start counting.
I mean, doctors do say that a lot. Not in those exact words but yeah
Usually not as a threat, though
That you know of
Maybe that’s exactly what they are, or promises? “You have 6 months to live”.
Dr. Theoden of Rohan will receive you now

Pretty sure OP has six fingers on his right hand.
I’d like at least a few seconds so I can relish the lack of responsibility
“Well, I’ll try. Come back in a few decades. Or not at all; I can do it myself.”
Ten years later: “Sorry, I need more time… those fucking gym memberships, you know…”
It depends.
If the threat is “we’re about to have a fight you won’t survive”, your critique is valid. If the threat is “you’ve just been poisoned, and will succumb within a few days”, then giving them the time to put their papers in order really won’t harm the speaker at all. Though maybe it isn’t entirely effective as a threat. If the threat is “I can take actions that will end your life, but all I’m telling you is it’s happening soon” it works as an ominous threat, and a sincere offer (though they’d probably better hurry).
That’s why I walk up to random people on the street and angrily shout at them “PREPARE TO DIE!!”
I then calmly hand them a brochure for my estate planning business.
You could take the idea Hollister had. Get shirtless men to handout the brochure maybe have them look a bit viking esque.
Seems like a good business idea
I prefer “don’t renew your library books”
Just preface it with “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father,…”.
Preferred: “I EAT BONES AND SHIT GHOSTS”
The stament is because they want the victim to know they are going to die and that they are going to do it. Its a personal murder type of thing.
It’s way more normal-sounding than “Scholar of the First Sin”
