comment
During a dialogue or monologue, one speaker's line has a single word repeated for dramatic effect, either by the same person (to emphasize his point) or by the other (to undermine said point).
Compare Department of Redundancy Department, where an item is listed repeatedly for comic effect; Parrot Exposition, where multiple characters utter the same word or phrase for similar reasons; Ironic Echo, for the entire sentence; Repeat to Confirm, where a character repeats an order to ensure that it's properly understood; Anaphora and Epiphora for the repetition of the start or end of a sentence / phrase; Symploce which is the repetition of more than one word; and Again with Feeling, where the repetition underlines a realization instead of emphasizing a point. See also One-Liner, Name... One-Liner.
Not to be confused with Punctuated! For! Emphasis!.

One sketch inside El Chapulín Colorado had a man recounting how he was discussing with his son about waiting for marriage. And he kept repeating several words twice to emphasize how heated the conversation was. But he then said at the end he decided to give up, since he doesn't like to just repeat everything.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Mad-Eye Moody (actually Barty Crouch Jr. using polyjuice potion) makes a point of repeating "CONSTANT VIGILANCE" in class, even long after he's stated once how important it is.

Warhammer 40,000 has a dialogue where an Eldar talks down to a human, telling him that they (the Eldar) once had the power to move the stars themselves however it pleased them. The human replies, "Once."

The Sixth Doctor in Doctor Who has a habit of repeating something someone else (usually Peri) said in increasingly dramatic and questioning tones, to demonstrate his disdain for it.
