Screw the Money, This Is Personal!	comment	A character tries to get someone off their back by attempting to offer money and/or power to their pursuer, only to be coldly rejected because the pursuer isn't interested in money — they just really, really want to see their adversary dead — or, at least, suffering. Turns out, the pursuer has a grievance towards their adversary that no bribe will be able to make up for, and in some cases, actually pisses off the pursuer even more, causing them to double down on their rampage. A variation of this trope involves the pursuer turning down payment for a job or task that would allow them to enact their revenge, or accepting lower pay for it. As the one offering the bribe is almost always a villain who had greatly wronged the person they're trying to buy off (who is usually The Hero, or at least a heroic character), the latter's refusal to back down from their revenge often goes hand-in-hand with The Villain Must Be Punished mentality. But it is also possible for this scenario to come up in cases of Evil Versus Evil or Evil Is Petty when the wronged party is portrayed as being just as villainous or even worse. Compare/contrast Screw the Money, I Have Rules!, where a character rejects another's attempt to buy them off due to their integrity rather than anything personal against the one offering the money. See also Revenge Before Reason, when someone's obsession to exact vengeance comes at the expense of personal gain.

The SATs" (or "Nocturnal Admissions"), when Posey's legitimate massage business gets confused for a brothel (the ad said "Let Posey's Soft Hands Give You Healing Release" when it's supposed to say "healing relief"), she attracts the attention of a pimp. When the pimp returns for money that he feels Posey owes him, Andy just moons him and slams the door in his face. The pimp then enters the apartment through the window and takes Andy up to the roof. Andy says he'll pay the pimp, but the pimp says he's not interested in money anymore and tries to throw Andy over the side. Luckily for Andy, the pimp throws out his back while getting ready to throw Andy over.

To Jasley's horror, his forces are quickly smashed to pieces and his expected reinforcements don't show up because his superior is sick and tired of him being The Starscream. After his own men turn on him for leading them into the whole mess, he desperately tries to plea for a ceasefire and then offers to surrender and turn over all his not-insubstantial assets, and finally even offers to have his fingers all cut off and further mutilated. However, Tekkadan leader Orga assures him that the only reason he even agreed to hear Jasley out was to hear him beg before he dies, and has Jasley killed mid-plea.

Double Punch is offered the chance to become a Senator, with the caveat he cut ties with his Predacon "pet". Despite Gnashteeth being instrumental to his success, Double Punch does so. The first hint Double Punch has that he made a terrible mistake is when he arrives home after his first meeting as a Senator to find his bodyguard dead. When Gnashteeth emerges carrying Double Punch's own Tyrant Spear, the Decepticon tries to make him an offer, but the Predacon is long past the point of caring and kills him.

His father, a swordsmith named Domingo, was contracted by Count Rugen to forge a sword with the hilt custom-fitted to his six-fingered hand. Rugen then tried to cheat him on the fee just because he could (Rugen is a nobleman and the Montoyas commoners). Domingo refused to be cheated and Rugen killed him. Years later, when Inigo's sword is at Rugen's throat, he sarcastically suggests that Rugen buy him off with money, and scorns the very idea. By doing that, Inigo forces Rugen to understand just how petty his crime was.

Lleu did allow Gronw to put a boulder between them for extra protection, though Lleu's spear manages to go through the stone and kill Gronw.

Screw the Money, This Is Personal! / int_f597528d	comment	In Limitless, Sands offers Rebecca a high-paying position on Senator Morra's staff that would require her to quit the FBI and stop her investigation into Morra's connection to NZT.

Screw the Money, This Is Personal! / int_f7b5a440	comment	Dumb Money: While no direct bribery takes place, towards the middle of the film, the short squeeze has mostly stopped being about investing in GameStop for many characters, and has become about revenge against Wall Street for the string of financial crises in the early 21st century. Harmony recounts how her father, general manager of a grocery store, was ruined by a hedge fund that bought the chain, stripped its assets, and then declared bankruptcy, erasing his pension.

Screw the Money, This Is Personal! / int_fdbace96	comment	Gravity Falls: In the last episode, Bill Cypher threatens to kill Dipper and Mabel unless Ford lets him enter his mind. Ford agrees, but he actually is Stan, who changed clothes with his twin brother, so Ford would shoot him with the Memory Erasing Gun, destroying Stan's mind along with Bill. The demon panics when he discovers that he is trapped and offers Stan's inner self riches and anything else he would want. Stan, however, is furious because Bill threatened his family and home and disintegrates him with a single powerful punch.
