A stock phrase and a sentiment. The usual response is, "Anything?" A character, usually a sympathetic one, is all out begging another, usually a villain, for a favor—or to be spared some cruelty. If the other is ready to listen, expect to be doing anything. A particularly cruel villain will take the pleading character at their word, extort something out of them that they'd never agree to otherwise, and then gloat and commit the atrocity anyway. Hope against hope that it won't cross over into Scarpia Ultimatum or even worse territory. If the villain is the one doing the pleading, that can be even worse, as it can be the perfect strategy for tricking the other side into lowering their defenses so they can launch a surprise attack, especially if the other side turns their back. Related to Ain't Too Proud to Beg, but this trope is more about paying any price, while the other is more about giving up pride and defiance. It shows up a lot in porn and slash fiction. Compare Deal with the Devil, in which this is often Satan's cue. Anything but That! often follows this trope when the demand made of the character is the one thing they never want to do. May be followed by I'm Thinking It Over!. Compare Villains Want Mercy. If "anything" turns out to be something simple like food, new clothing, and so on, it becomes a Mundane Wish or a Comically Small Demand. |

Ranma ½: Tatewaki Kuno has a wish granting sword and Ranma (female) offers to do "anything" if he uses the wish for her. Ranma of course intends to first get the wish and so become permanently male before paying up- thus being safe from any shenanigans- but Kuno asks for a kiss first. Ranma just can't do it. In a storyline involving the malicious Cheerleader, Mariko Konjo, she offers Kuno the chance to do anything with her. Kuno thinks about it, and simply doodles on her angering all the school boys who were hoping he'd do something perverted. |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: A rare villain-towards-hero example occurs in "Smog Hog", when Greedly realizes that his latest scheme has poisoned his own son to the point of coma. Greedly begs the Planeteers to call Captain Planet to save his son, even stating that he doesn't care how much it costs. Being the heroes, the group doesn't demand anything other than Greedly giving back the factory he stole (thus starting this whole mess) and helping them retrieve Linka's ring so that they actually can call Captain Planet full-strength. | |

A couple of examples in The Coldest Girl in Coldtown: The gates of the titular vampire quarantine zone are festooned with posters made by people hoping to hire bounty hunters to purchase a loved one's freedom from quarantine through the capture of a vampire. One of the posters names the reward as "anything we have, anything you might want, anything at all". At the climax, a cornered villain tells his enemy "I will give you anything" and "I will make every single impossible dream you've had come true" if she spares him. She forces him to confess his greatest crime to the world, then kills him anyway. |

Lily in Harry Potter begs for baby Harry's life with "I'll do anything." It doesn't work, and she dies anyway. But not before making a Heroic Sacrifice that saves Harry's life. Snape also begs Dumbledore to help protect Lily from Voldemort with this as well. Dumbledore calls him out. It's more played straight after the calling out though. |

David Gerrold's The War Against the Chtorr novel A Season for Slaughter. Jim McCarthy does this when begging Randy Dannenfelser for access to a prowler robot so he can look for "Lizard" Tirelli. Randy agrees even though he hates McCarthy — not because McCarthy begs but because he believes it's the right thing to do. | |

In Oliver!, the song "I'd Do Anything" is mostly one guy saying he'd do anything for a girl, and the girl making ridiculous or strange suggestions, to all of which he agrees. Then Fagin co-opts it, and does the routine with his gang of loyal street urchins, and his suggestions are a little darker. | |

She begs Scrooge, who she was trying to curse in the first place to stop him from flying off, offering her throne, her powers, everything she has to keep her brother from disappearing into the world as another anonymous raven. Scrooge refuses, something even he's a bit guilty about years later. | |

Guaranteed to make Yuuko's ears perk in Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- and ×××HOLiC. Lampshaded in one instance of the latter; Yuuko warns a customer desperate to have a magical photograph that shows her pushing another woman off a cliff destroyed that "one shouldn't say 'I'll pay anything' quite so easily." The customer insists, and so Yuuko grants her wish and names her price: the customer must never allow her image to be recorded on any kind of media ever again, or else her victim and crime will also appear in the recording. In today's society, with the prevalence of camera phones, security cameras, live TV broadcasts, and the like, she's essentially doomed herself to solitary house arrest for the rest of her life. | |

The Nostalgia Critic: He does this in the Tom and Jerry movie review, where he really doesn't want to listen to another song. More seriously in one of Hyper's post-kidnapping vlogs, as he tiredly asks her if he does what she wants will she leave him be. The answer's no. |

A particularly cruel version exists in Suikoden II. There's this villager who had her village utterly massacred by Luca Blight. She begs that she be spared if she does anything. Luca thinks a bit and forces her to act like a pig. She did so. Once the deed is done... Luca kills her anyway with this reasoning: "DIE, PIG!!!!" | |

Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness Act II: In chapter 21, Mizore pleads with Miyabi to spare her mother's life using this trope, to which Miyabi forces her to have sex with him in exchange for her mother's life; it's made that much worse by the fact that Miyabi was Mizore's first. Immediately after doing so, once Mizore is out of earshot, Miyabi goes back on his word and personally orders Tsurara's execution to set an example to anyone who dares disobey Fairy Tale, and mocking Mizore for being foolish enough to believe him. | |

She says in a quavering voice that she'll do anything if he doesn't hurt her, even promising not to resist if he wants to rape her.

However, given that his attacker is motivated by revenge for his daughter, whose death he believes was caused by Krei's reckless pursuit of profit, the implicit offer of money in exchange for Krei's life is angrily rejected. | |

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Maquis, Part II", Quark discusses this trope with a Vulcan Maquis member Sakonna. Citing the Third Ferengi Rule of Acquisition, "Never spend more than an acquisition is worth," Quark argues that Sakonna's declaration that the Maquis will "pay any price" to insure peace is illogical; since the Cardassian government's plan to provide Cardassian settlers with illegal weapons has been foiled, "The price of peace is at an all-time low." | |

In Red River (1995), Princess Alexandra of Arzawa offers herself as a slave (and implicitly in a sexual manner) to a "young boy" who has led the Hitite conquer of seven Arzawan cities, in a very heartfelt but incredibly misguided attempt to help her country. It turns out, however, that this Ishtar person is actually a girl named Yuri and she's already the concubine of a Hitite prince, so she makes Alexandra her Lady-In-Waiting instead. | |

Though not expressly named, there are overtones of this in Macbeth when Macduff's response to Malcolm's assertion that he is a deviant with an insatiable sexual appetite is "We have women enough." Thankfully, this is a Secret Test of Character on Malcolm's part, which has made the scene problematic, if not completely baffling, for actors and scholars. | |

In A New Hope Grand Moff Tarkin orders the Death Star to blow up Alderaan, invoking this trope to the captured Princess Leia in order to get her to reveal the location of the rebel base in exchange for sparing her home world. Leia gives up a location, but Tarkin orders Alderaan destroyed anyway. Of course Leia was lying about the rebel base; the location had been long abandoned. |

This is the biggest part of the plot of the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Favor". To summarize: A blue-collar worker named Charlie Collins was having a very bad day, and when he was coming home from work, a rude motorist cutting him off the last straw; he cussed the man out in a fit of road rage, only to find out, to his horror, it was the Joker. The villain chased the poor man down, and when Charlie begged for his life, making this exact plea, the Joker took him up on it, promising to let him go if he agreed to do him a favor, saying he'd think of one later. For two years, the Joker kept track of Charlie like a sadistic "hobby" (Charlie moving to Ohio with his family and changing his name didn't help much), then called him to tell him he wanted him to make good on that promise. The "favor" was part of the Joker's plan to infiltrate a testimonial dinner for Commissioner Gordon and plant a bomb; Charlie simply had to hold the door open. However, Charlie then found his hand glued to the doorknob, the Joker telling him he never said he'd let him live this time. Charlie got even in spades however, after Batman foiled the plan; after confronting the Joker in an alley and belting him across the face, he responded to his threat by producing a bomb of his own and threatening to kill both of them. Horrified at the thought of being killed in such a humiliating way (and realizing this wasn't fun anymore) the Joker surrendered all the information he had on Charlie and his family before Batman hauled him away. | |

In the King of Dragon Pass setting, Orlanth was so horrified by Thed's injuries that he offered her anything when she demanded he make reparations for his vassal's violence. So Thed (who was not a good person) asked to be made the goddess of rape "so that Orlanth’s own wife and daughters would fear the same thing forever." After that, Orlanth made rules on what victims could request as compensation and how much. | |

A variation occurs in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. When Mario asks Goldbob permission to use the giant cannon, Goldbob asks what it's worth to him. There are three responses; if Mario answers "Everything I have!" Goldbob asks twice if he's sure, then gives him permission. (This is actually a Secret Test of Character; while he does take all of Mario's things, he gives them all back a minute later.) | |

Notable because only minutes before Sheppard was blithey baiting Koyla and taking down his men, despite Koyla having the city under his control. The moment he directly threatened Elizabeth, John lost it and switched to outright begging. | |

In the Rurouni Kenshin prequel To Rule Flame, this happens between Yumi and Shishio. More exactly: Yumi's best friend Hanabi has been bloodily murdered and her Token Mini-Moe other companions Akari and Kogari have been kidnapped. Fed up with the indifference of her brothel's owner and already embittered from her Dark and Troubled Past, Yumi offers herself to Shishio (whom she had Belligerent Sexual Tension with up until then) and says she'll be his lover in exchange for both revenge and the surviving girls's rescue. Shishio accepts the deal, fulfills his part with the aid of the Juppongatana, and from then on Yumi is his Dark Mistress. | |
