1. The Villain Will Kill You...After This Monologue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gni3gi8C8g8 Just when all seems lost, when hope is dead and the hero is not far behind, shackled to a chair or otherwise incapacitated, the villain has a clear path to victory. One quick bullet and it will all be over. But their egos just will not let them do it. They can't just kill you. They have to talk about it first. A lot. You're going to get a lengthy dissertation on the villain's superiority, as well as a detailed description of their treacherous goals. There's definitely going to be some evil cackling. You'll be able to engage them in conversation, because despite the fact that it would be the safe and smart thing to do to just clip you right away, if there's one thing evil overlords love it's a good conversation. And that's when you make your move. You just have to wait for them to be distracted by their own gloating, reveling in the brilliance of their master plan and then you can escape. Or what'll probably actually happen is you'll take one in the head and he'll dump your body in a ditch. The end.
