Gumball: Man, I really wish something that once seemed insignificant would show up and save me! —The Amazing World of Gumball, "The Robot"
|
Thornton Reed: Take this, Dag. —Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, "Scotch Mist"
|
It appears that you're heading directly into the heart of the volcano. On reflection, this was inevitable, really. I mean, you can't just have a Final Boss Battle near a volcano. It would be like having a car chase in which the Fruit Cart doesn't get knocked over. Or fighting crime in a Giant Robot and never using Rocket Punch.

TG: you just HAD TO FIGURE all that juice was going to come back to haunt me —Dave Strider, Homestuck
|
Vyvyan: "It's a potion I've invented, where, when the patient drinks it, he turns into an axe-wielding homicidal maniac. It's basically a cure...for not being an axe-wielding homicidal maniac. The potential market's enormous!" |
This means nothing right now, but obviously will later.
|
Casey: Well, you know what they say about a gun in the first act, Ron. |
"We’ve been trained by movies that if you find some seemingly unimportant bauble, then the story will later create a situation where it will be the key to solving a problem in an unexpected way."
|
Archer: "God, I SAID the cap slips off the poison pen for no reason, didn't I?!" |
The coffin was the trap, the coffin was the solution. That's so neat I could write a thesis.
—The Doctor, The Sarah Jane Adventures
|
Works like a charm. I could build a mechanical barrel-maker in my sleep, but for real inventing genius, these Brain-Transfer Helmets have to be my pièce de résistance!
—'Cranky Kong, in a scene which, assuming you're Genre Savvy, doesn't need any further explanation.
|
[[[James Bond]]] always used every single item. He never came back and said "Q, I've got a lot of stuff I didn't use on that adventure."
—Eddie Izzard, Unrepeatable
