Two characters are escaping from something. One of them falls down, breaks a leg and says "Leave me, [[I Will Only Slow You Down]]". The other one says, "[[More Hero Than Thou|Never]]!" and takes his wounded friend with him. Possibly even requiring, as soon as they reach some degree of safety, that [[Greater Need Than Mine|the wounded character gets evacuated first]].

* Adam Savage has joked about ''[[MythBusters]]'' having a "No Crash Test Dummy Left Behind" code at least twice. Of course, since the original Buster was theoretically a loaner ....
* Parodied in the ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode "The Puerto Rican Day", where a parade is obstructing the traffic, and Elaine tries to go through underneath a viewing stand, leading a group of people. An elderly priest can't keep up:
