>"asking to leave" leans too much on the rosy side. Usually "asking" implies they have a choice, right?

Maybe more of a Hobson's choice.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave" seems to be the sort of thing said by bartenders/bouncers when you've been cut off and you're demanding that one last beer. Or by a police officer who presents you with the choice of walking out on your own, or or getting arrested.
