[[I Cannot Self Terminate|please kill me...]]" Die during the {{spoiler|Barlowe}} fight and he mocks you for your betrayal. Towards the end, when you fight Dracula, dying gives you the message "You danced well."

** And with a little more [[Genre Savvy]], "He's done this before, he'll be OK!"

* ''[[Halo]]'' had a couple that emphasized how in awe everyone was of the Master Chief, such as a teammate saying "Great, now ''what'' do we do?", or an enemy Grunt saying in astonishment [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu|"It...dies?"]].
