Heroic Interrogation

Heroic Interrogation is an event where a hero or a heroine asks questions of (someone, especially a suspect or a criminal) closely, aggressively, or formally. It is also another form of the Heroic Breakdown, Hero's Rage, Facing the Enemy, and Good vs. Evil.

The opposite of this is Being Interrogated.

Quotes
"Secrets and lies! It's all secrets and lies with those ponies! They're up to something, Gummy! Something they don't want me to know about! Well, I'm gonna know about it! I'm gonna know about it big time! And I know just who's gonna tell me all about it. Tell me all about it big time! (The scene cuts to Spike sitting in front of a spread of gems in Pinkie’s room.) (Spike: Wow! Nice spread!) It's all yours, Spike. (Pinkie shines a lamp in Spike's face while Gummy secures him to the chair by tugging on his tail.) All you have to do is talk. (Spike: That's it? Oh, you got it. Okay... uh, beautiful weather we're having, eh? I love a sunny spring day, don't you? The birds chirpin' and the flowers bloomin'.) No, no, no. Talk about our friends. (Spike: Oh, okay. Let's see, there's Twilight Sparkle. She's a unicorn. Good with magic. A real brainiac. And then you got Rarity. Total knockout. Twilight seems to think I don't even have a chance with her, but... eh, what does she know? Let's see. There's... there's Fluttershy, a Pegasus who's afraid of heights. Heh, what's up with that?) (Pinkie growls at the irrelevance of Spike's words.) No! You're not understanding me! I want you to confess! (Spike: Confess?) Confess! (Spike's eyes dilate from fear.) (Spike: I’m the one who spilled juice all over Twilight’s copy of Magical Mysteries and Practical Potions!) And? (Spike: And I’m the one who used up all the hot water in Ponyville yesterday when I took a seven-hour bubble bath!) Aaand? (Spike: And sometimes... when no-one's around... I do this.) (Seemingly from nowhere, Spike pulls out a mirror and admires himself in front of it.) (Spike: Lookin' good, Spike! Lookin' real good!) (Pinkie stares in surprise at the confession before shaking her head and losing it with anger.) No! No! No! NO! (Spike: W-What do you wanna hear? Tell me what you want me to say, and I'll say it!) Tell me that my friends are all lying to me and avoiding me because they don't like my parties and they don't want to be my FRIENDS ANYMORE! (Pants with intense anger) (Spike: Your friends are all lying to you and avoiding you 'cause they don't like your parties and they don't want to be your friends anymore!) Aha! I knew it! (Suddenly, her mane deflates and a now depressed Pinkie is surrounded in darkness underneath a cone of light.) Oh no, my friends don't like my parties and they don't want to be my friends anymore. (Spike turns off the light.) (Spike: Uh... so...) (Pinkie sighs as Spike loudly eats the gems.)"

"(Toshiro pulls Sorrento out of the OASIS by taking off his VR headset, and points a gun at him, as does Wade.) Where is she? (Sorrento: How did you get in here?) Art3mis. (Sorrento: Who?) Samantha Cook! Where is she?! (Sorrento: If you want to talk, we can talk, but you gotta put the gun down.) You killed my mom's sister. You think I won't kill you? (Sorrento: Whoa, whoa, whoa, just slow down, okay? That was corporate. This thing was not personal.) WHERE IS SHE?! (Sorrento: Uh, she's downstairs, in the Loyalty Center!) I know she's in the g*****n Loyalty Centre! (advances on Sorrento.) You're gonna tell me exactly which rig she's in, and the access code to contact her. (Toshiro places his gun on Sorrento's rib.) (Sorrento: Yeah, that seems appropriate.) (Wade walks towards the door.) (Toshiro: Start with the access code.) (Sorrento: 6-45-7-25.) (Toshiro: Where's the rig?)"

- Wade Watts and Toshiro interrogating Nolan Sorrento on how to free Samantha. "You might as well give up your buddy-bots, Toxitron. We already got you on trespassing, breaking-and-entering and possession of stolen goods. You're looking at ten thousand stellar cycles in the stockade minimum. (Toxitron: No deal. Toxitron am take twenty thousand stellar cycles.) You do realize you're supposed to plea bargain your sentence down, right? (Toxitron: Okay. Thirty thousand and not one nanoklik less."

- Sideswipe interrogating Toxitron to no avail.

"Hey, Cough Drop. (Sour Bill: Huh?) Explain something to me. If Vanellope was never meant to exist, then why is her picture on the side of the video game console? (Sour Bill runs off, shuddering; Ralph picks him up with two sausage-sized fingers) What's going on inside this candy-coated heart of darkness? (Sour Bill: Nothing.) Talk! (Sour Bill: No.) I'll lick you. (Sour Bill: You wouldn't.) Oh, yeah? (Ralph gives him a good lick.) (Sour Bill: Feels like sandpaper.) Hmm... I wonder how many licks it will take to get to your center."

[Grimlock punches his fists together while mischievously giggling.] (Clampdown: Ah… Well, y-y-ya see, I… [passes out])"
