Sonic the Hedgehog - Authority and Disagreement in Leadership
Dr. Robotnik:
Are you in charge here?
Major Bennington:
Yes, I am.
Robotnik:

Robotnik:
Wrong!
Bennington:
Name–
Robotnik:
I'm in charge!
Bennington: [getting frustrated at Robotnik's interruptions]
Is Major—
Robotnik:
Me!
Bennington:
Ben–
Robotnik: [whispers; makes zipping noise]
I'm in charge. You've never seen anything like this before. This says I'm the top banana, in a world full of hungry little monkeys. Allow me to clarify. In a sequentially-ranked hierarchy, based on level of critical importance, the disparity between us is too vast to quantify. Agent Stone?

Robotnik: [sending commands to his drones]
It's evolution, Stone! It's evolution!
