Line 36:
** Used straight a couple episodes later, in a really stupid move on Conan's part (since it almost gets him killed).
** An interesting reversal appears in movie 13, ''The Raven Chaser'', where Conan asks this of Irish, the newly introduced member of the [[The Syndicate|Black Organization]] who figured out Conan is actually Shinichi Kudo.
* During the ''Greenback Jane'' arc of ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', Eda is holding a minor antagonist at gunpoint, apparently planning to let him go - until he suddenly blurts out, "Hey, I recognize you! {{spoiler|You're that woman I saw dining with a senator in Washington DC!" Eda denies this, saying she's just a nun, but "I'll tell you one thing: I'm not really from Alabama. I'm from Langley, Virginia." "You're CI--" ([[Killed Mid
* In the first of [[Rumiko Takahashi]]'s ''[[Mermaid Saga]]'' stories (''A Mermaid Never Smiles'') several old women ask Yuta if there's anyone in town who will miss him if he's gone. He says no, and they kill him. Fortunately, it didn't take.

Line 144:
** One of Hyeok's underlings at American intelligence agency DIS reports to [[The Heavy|Hyeok]] that the terrorist organization Athena has infiltrated DIS and that he thinks Hyeok's [[Puss in Boots|right hand, Andy]], is [[The Mole]].
** The audience knows from the start that Hyeok is currently head of Athena's operations in South Korea (and Andy is [[Number Two]]).
** Hyeok asks his underling, "[[Have You Told Anyone Else?]]" Underling says no. Hyeok unnerves him with, "Good. If you tell anyone, you might endanger yourself." Cut to Andy confronting Underling, who gets scared and runs away, directly towards Hyeok, who (surprise!) shoots him.
* The villain attempts this in ''[[Foyles War]]'' questioning Sam about a conversation she overheard, and threateningly asking her if she had told anyone about it. She tells him that, in fact, she had dismissed the conversation, but now that he seems to find it so important, she is going to tell everyone that she can think of, including that police superintendent she is friends with.
* ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]''
