{{examples}}
== [[
* In ''[[Wallace and Gromit|Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death]]'', the opening scene is shot from the serial killer's point of view, and the confused target lets out one of these before he gets cudged on the head with a rolling pin.▼
* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', {{spoiler|Kaji's}} last words are a casual "You're late".
* Happens to [[Brilliant but Lazy|Kyoraku]] in the second ''[[Bleach]]'' movie. After a few seconds of scuffling with a mysterious ice-wielding enemy, he manages to cut off his opponent's mask and get a look at his face. He remarks "You're...!" Cue scene cut to Kyoraku in the hospital.
Line 25 ⟶ 22:
* In ''[[The Usual Suspects]]'', Keyser Soze finds the man who can identify him, who begs him, "I promise...I told them nothing..." Soze is bathed in golden light, and then there's a [[Discretion Shot]] as Soze shoots him.
* In ''[[The Man With Two Brains]]'', Delores steps into an elevator, obviously recognizes the other occupant, smiles and says, "What are you doing here?" Then the other person ({{spoiler|Merv Griffin}}) [[It Makes Sense in Context|injects window cleaner into her butt]]. It kills her... mostly.
▲* In ''[[Wallace and Gromit|Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death]]'', the opening scene is shot from the serial killer's point of view, and the confused target lets out one of these before he gets cudged on the head with a rolling pin.
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'' series, this was how the Forsaken Asmodean was killed. Many books later, his killer still remains a mystery:
{{quote|Asmodean pulled open a small door, intending to find his way to the pantry. There should be some decent wine. One step, and he stopped, the blood draining from his face. "You? No!" The word still hung in the air when death took him.}}
* {{spoiler|The choir director's}} last words in ''[[
* At the start of ''[[Angels & Demons]]'' Doctor Vetra sees and identifies the killer just before he dies.
== [[Live
* First episode of ''[[Charmed]]'' started this way, when a witch said, "What are you doing here?" and then gets stabbed to death...
* ''[[Lois and Clark]]'': Elliot Gould's character says this just before he's killed by the baddie of the week, as Lois is in his bathroom and sees the killer. Subverted, though, in that we actually see the killer, too; but it turns out he's a [[Master of Disguise]], so seeing him doesn't help. The person Lois thought she saw kill Gould was at a conference delivering a speech at the time of the murder.
* Parodied on ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]''. Carlton and Ashley are playing "whodunnit", and "murders" (carried out with sucker darts) of this type happen throughout the episode. Played completely straight when Will is accused of being the murderer and ends up [[Acquitted Too Late]] (to his irritation, since he isn't playing). {{spoiler|The murderer was Aunt Vivian, if you were wondering.}}
* The dean in ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' gives us a "What are you doing here?" The next time we see him, he's dead.
