Line 1: {{trope}} Quick! Something particularly exciting has happened! And, for some reason, there's a reporter on the scene, complete with cameraman! At a particularly exciting moment, the reporter has ''got'' to turn to the camera and say something to the effect of '''"[[Are We Getting This?]]"''' The answer is usually yes, but it's anyone's guess as to whether the camera will survive the episode. {{examples}} Line 22: * In Scott Westerfeld's book ''Extras'', the main character, Aya, is constantly asking her hovercam, Moggle, "Are you getting this?" == [[Live -Action TV]] == * Done on ''[[Babylon 5]]'', when an Earth reporter gets rare footage of Ambassador Kosh. * Asked repeatedly by D'Anna Biers, the reporter in the ''[[Battlestar Galactica ~~Reimagined~~(2004 TV series)\|Battlestar Galactica]]'' episode "Final Cut". * Said by the remote operators who find the {{spoiler\|faked}} wreckage of Oceanic 815 in the ''[[Lost]]'' episode "Confirmed Dead." * Used in a sketch on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', where the premise is the gang at a frat party and someone is recording the events. One character makes a double entendre, and Jimmy Fallon's character turns to the camera and says "Tommy, please tell me you got that!" Line 30: * Done to perfection in an episode of ''[[Sanctuary]]'', where the reporter witnesses a number of nasty things, is duly horrified and then, as soon as she ''can'' speak again, asks "did we get that?". * ''[[The Suite Life On Deck]]'': When Baily's possessed by a an ancient princess, she attacks Zack (as he's being interviewed by a local reporter for discovering an ancient artifact.) Her response? {{quote\| '''Reporter''': Get this! This will be better than my story on the coconut that looked like Estabon Francesco! }} == [[Western Animation]] == * Used during part one of the ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' [[Five Episode Pilot]] "Treasure of the Golden Suns", during Scrooge and his nephews' confrontation with the Beagle Boys at the candy factory. * Averted in ''[[Frisky Dingo]]''. {{quote\| Grace Ryan: (gasps) Are you getting this?~~<br />~~ Cameraman: Am.. am I getting footage of me, the cameraman? Absolutely not. }} * Played straight in the ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'' movie. After Buzz finishes his [[Patrick Stewart Speech]], Zurg makes sure it has been captured on camera so that he can laugh at it later. Line 42: [[Category:Stock Phrases]] [[Category:Are We Getting This?]] [[Category:This Index Asked You a Question]]
