George Zimmermans Justified defense?

In making his case in the killing of Trayvon Martin, did George Zimmerman borrow some lines from the gun-slinging FX show Justified? Specifically, did he borrow lines from the March 21 episode?
The killers father, Robert Zimmerman, told a Fox Tampa Bay reporter that his son told him, Trayvon Martin said something to the effect of youre going to die now, or youre going to die tonight. Or something to that effect. Fast forward to 2:10 to hear him say this.
What Zimmerman said piqued the interest of my Facebook friend Money Train with Funk Gumbo Radio.
Now when I heard what George Zimmerman allegedly told his father Trayvon said to him it made think about where have I heard something similar....And then it hit me that last weeks episode of FX Networks show Justified called Guy Walks Into a Bar had almost the same type of language between bad guy Robert Quarles (Neal McDonough) and marshall Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant). Quarles says, Im going to kill you Raylan. Maybe not tonight. Maybe not tomorrow. But someday youll be walking down the street and I am gonna put a bullet right in the back of your skull and youre gonna drop.
