Get Out!

"Lex Luthor: Miss Teschmacher, when I was six years old, my father said to me...

Miss Teschmacher: "...Get out."

Lex Luthor: (laughs)...Before that!"

- Superman

A Stock Phrase delivered if one character has really pissed another character off. He or she may just mean out of the room, but may even mean "Get out of my house" or there may even be an implied "I never want to see you again" (speaking of stock phrases).

Any attempts to reason with the character who has made this demand will simply get them to restate it, more forcefully and usually shouting, or while on the brink of tears. Oh, and expect a few insults (or possibly items of furniture) to be thrown if the target of the ultimatum is stubborn or has really blown it. Usually a line spoken by a very angry Love Interest, pissed off friends and allies have been known to use it as well. Sometimes, however, a character will not give in to the ultimatum, sometimes taking the demand, insults, and the thrown objects as a declaration of war, a situation which can cause the demand and aggressive behaviour to backfire in a pretty scary way. These situations serve to remind the viewer that magic words that get slung around in fiction don't always work. And there's a couple comedic variants, the scene happens as normal until the person realizes "hey, wait a minute, I just got thrown out of my own house", or when they keep tripping over stuff and their reply to "GET OUT!" is "I'm trying! I'm trying!". A final variant is the Literal Genie version, where a literal-minded person or a passive aggressive person will interpert "GET OUT!" as "leave the area entirely" not "give me time to cool down" and if uttered "I never want to see you again" will mean that the person won't be coming back, ever, unless that is, they can convince them that they changed their mind.

If this is a cartoon, expect them to be given the boot whether they were going to leave on their own or not, kicked far away from the place.

Also used from time to time by a really pissed off character who is on the defensive and has just put an intruder on the bad side of a beat down. Cue them throwing the opponent out the nearest door or window, or off the roof, while uttering some form of this, usually followed by "and don't come back!" Alternatively, someone commandeering or forcibly taking over a building or vehicle may say this to defeated defenders or frightened bystanders. It can also be a Crowning Moment of Awesome when used on someone discovered to be the mole, usually an employee or an ex-lover. Can be Nightmare Fuel if delievered by an omnipotent voice in a giant maze.

It's also a classic line used by sentient Haunted Houses. And old aztec temples.

A case of a Naked First Impression or other scene where one character walks in on another in a state of undress may trigger this as well. Either that or a Megaton Punch. Or both.

Occasionally, characters are a bit more polite about it, choosing to deliver the trope as a question. "Will you get OUT of here? Please?" This is not a request, but a demand, and continued refusal to leave will lead to the original stock phrase being used. And there's also the more panicked variety when someone is about to come in who isn't supposed to see you, in which case, expect to be stuffed in closets, bathrooms, refrigirators, you name it, with an eventual response being that they've shoved them everywhere but through the exit door.

Not to be confused with the expression of disbelief - saying, "No... get out! That's unbelievable!"

If you are putting an example on a Stock Phrases page like this, please give context.
