Two characters, maybe friends, maybe not, are skulking separately through back streets, participating in a [[Bar Brawl]] or some other combat situation. They back into each other, whirl, point weapons at each other--thenother—then shout, simultaneously, "[[You Exclamation|You?!]]"
 
{{examples|Examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Variation in ''[[The Lion King]]'': Nala tries to hunt down Pumbaa, but Simba comes to rescue. They start a badass lion fight for some seconds, then Simba loses again and says "Nala!?".
* Parodied in ''[[Hsu and Chan]]''. When the titular Tanaka brothers encounter their lifelong rivals, Akira Yamamoto and his father, each of them says "YOU!" at least once, prompting a passerby to say, "...Me?". Chan slaps him upside the head and shoos him away so the confrontation can begin in earnest.
* Something similar to this happens in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "Partners in Crime", in which the Doctor and Donna meet for a second time--except they do it in mime, through a window.
<!-- %% * I'm sure this has happened a couple of times in the JamesBond movies with Bond and some sexy spy from another country.%% %% this needs to be more specific before it can be listed as an example - see HowToWriteAnExample -->
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' demonstrates this (albeit silently) with Buffy and Riley in "Hush".
* [[Aladdin (Disney)|"They're after me! They're after you?!"]]
* This happens repeatedly between Jin and Mugen in ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* [[Aladdin (Disney film)|"They're after me! They're after you?!"]]
* Variation in ''[[The Lion King]]'': Nala tries to hunt down Pumbaa, but Simba comes to rescue. They start a badass lion fight for some seconds, then Simba loses again and says "Nala!?".{{context|reason=Does this belong here, or on 'You!'?}}
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* The bar brawl version is known as the "Double Andrew" on the ''[[Discworld]]'', and is worth quite a lot of points. Bar brawls in Ankh-Morpork have become somewhat formalized.
 
<!-- %% * ''TheMatrix'' %% -->
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* From ''[[Teen Titans Trouble in Tokyo]]'':
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' demonstrates this (albeit silently) with Buffy and Riley in "Hush".

* In ''[[Kamen Rider Double]],'' Shotaro is having a friendly conversation with another patron at the barber shop. They keep just missing getting to see each other's faces for some time. When Shotaro realizes he's been chatting with [[The Dragon]], we get the following as the poor owner can only look on in confusion:
