{{quote|If we get out of here, I swear I'll never drink whiskey again... Let's say a hundred... no, fifty... Three days, that's a promise.|Captain Haddock, [[Tintin (Comic Book)]].}}
This is a line in the form "I swear if X, I'll Y". This is ''not'' [[The Promise]], as it is frequently a throwaway line, or may very well go uncompleted. It also has a formulaic conditional element that is not typical of [[The Promise]]. X is most commonly worded as "If I/we survive this" or "If this crazy shit works out", and Y is frequently "I'll kill you!" though almost anything than go in either space. Related to [[Deal With the Devil]]. Might end up [[Tempting Fate]].
