Ha, I just noticed that what Tai said after he Marten passed was almost in iambic pentameter. (Although I think I remember someone here telling me a while ago I was wrong about "hired" being two syllables, something I still disagree with.)

At first (before chairspin) I thought we were on a random hannermom comic. I guess I was half right.

It's only one syllable south of the Mason-Dixon line.
As in, "Man, I'm Tired" (Man, I'm TAHR'D).
"You're hired" (Yer HAHR'D) (not to be confused with, "You're hard!")
Even so, there can be a trailing syllable in iambic pentameter, since it's not a full iamb (keeping it short of a hexameter). There are several examples throughout the bard's works.

Hanners really has a hard time keeping those unpleasant thoughts at bay, doesn't she?
"Kill all the witnesses"
"Kill 'em with a knife"
I'd link, but who has time? I shouldn't even be in here...
Smallest:
I think it's "Kill your friends, kill them with a knife"
