The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

'Fine' has also crept into Swedish conversation (as an inserted English word) and I've heard it used in the 'acceptable under protest' variant. Makes it particularly nuanced as a put-down when its used within another language.
