Line 29:
* In ''[[Fruits Basket]]'', Tohru explains to Shigure that while her mother Kyoko was alive, she would always tell her "Goodbye, be safe!" But the one morning when Tohru wasn't awake at the time her mother left, Kyoko died.
{{quote|'''Tohru:''' I... I had a test. I studied almost the whole night. And when it was time for Mom to go to work, I didn't wake up. I couldn't tell her "Bye! Be safe!" [[Wham! Line|And she...never came home.]]}}
* ''[[Your Name]]'': According to side novel ''Another Side: Earthbound'', Toshiki was out looking for another doctor who could save Futaba and missed out on her last words, having to hear them secondhand from a nurse instead.

Line 48:
** He does grab Indy into a fierce hug - probably the first ever shared by those two - and practically sobs, "I thought I'd lost you, boy..." I think that was actually enough for Indy at that moment.
* In ''[[Donnie Darko]]''. {{spoiler|Donnie and his mother, Rose, get into an argument at the beginning of the movie. That night, the airplane turbine crashes into Donnie's room, but Donnie avoids it because he's sleepwalking at the time, and the events of the movie play out. The night before she goes out of town, Rose sees one of Donnie's disturbing drawings in his room, but embraces her son instead of freaking out. When time is rewound to shortly before the turbine (which was from the plane she was on) crashes into Donnie's room, he chooses to stay in his room, the crash killing him in the process. At the end of the movie, Rose laments that she ended things with her son on a sour note, the last words that he ever said to her was calling her a "bitch".}}
* ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]'': "I never got to say goodbye to my father." Incidentally, Tony really wasn't angsting over that, just moving into how he wished his dad was still alive, so he would have advice on the ethics of his business. Come ''[[Captain America: Civil War]]'', he uses the BARF to simulate doing so, and in ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' {{spoiler|he gets to preemptively sort-of thank his father for everything.}}
* Sarah Jane in ''[[Imitation Of Life]]'' to her mother, Annie. In her attempt to pass for white, she shunned her mother. When her mother died, Sarah Jane in her grief, disrupted her funeral procession screaming that she "killed her mother." She hadn't spoken to her mother since the day she told her to leave her alone.
