Jake Randolph in "The Littlest Client" Pt. 150
The vase started wobbling back and forth as O'Sullivan put his hands up.
"Please, sir! Stop!"
I slowed down just enough so it wouldn't actually tip off the side.
"Now, I want you to use that telephone over there and tell Gallagher that Jake Randolph wants to see him about Max Dolan. You got that?"
He still had his hands up, " But, sir...!"
I tipped the pedestal over and the vase went toppling but I caught it inches before it smashed onto the floor.
"Might not be so lucky next time. My reflexes aren't what they used to be."

I loved this scene when I wrote it. I could just picture Jake juggling around antiques trying to intimidate someone.
This was one I had to revise, though, because I originally had Max go in with him and I realized that was a tactical mistake, so I rewrote some of it and had Max wait in the car.
