Worthy of a semicolon

So, I'm writing this asshat of a character, right? This real jerk who's trying to screw my main character out of some money (for all intents and purposes). And I write this line of dialogue that requires a semicolon. My first thought? "Pffft. This asshole doesn't even deserve a semicolon in his lines."

I'm pretty sure that makes me insane, right? Like, when you start assigning character value on a scale of semicolons and ellipses, that's a clear sign you've gone off the deep end, right?
