Delivered at the right time, a cocky line can be as effective as a weapon... Not a good weapon. But a mediocre, better than nothing, not-quite-as-effective-as-a-knife... weapon. (Seriously, if you wanted a weapon you should have brought one.)
Spicing up some old favorites is a good place to start.
Classic- "It's gonna be two hits; me hitting you and you hitting the floor.
Your version- "It's gonna be four hits; me hitting you, me hitting you again as you fall through the air, you hitting the floor... all while I'm humming 'Private Eyes' by Hall & Oates."
Your version 2- It's gonna be eleven hits; me hitting you, you hitting the floor, me kicking your nuts five times, me hitting you with a board with a nail in it twice... shit, how many is that? Ah, never mind-- FUCK YOU! (neck punch)
Classic- "You've got two chances; slim and none... and slim just left town."
Your version- "You've got two chances; slim and none... and also, I brought a baseball bat." (Take out the bat)
Classic- "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
Your Version- "We can do this the easy way or the hard way... or some third way. I'd love to just bounce some ideas off you and come up with something fun! We need to remember, this process is a give-and-take. I'll have an open mind about your pitches as long as all of them end with you bleeding and unconscious, and me looking really cool."
Classic- "I came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubble gum."
Your version- "I came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubble gum... I'm not challenging you or anything. I just thought you'd be interested in knowing what I'm up to today. (Wait a moment, then) We never talk anymore."
