Line 4:
{{quote|''I sure have, [[Tropey the Wonder Dog]]. I suuure have.''}}
Often used as a dramatic bookend before the credits or commercial break, or a cliffhanger ending. A variant common enough to get its own trope is "[[Double "Don't Know"|I don't know, Billy... I just don't know.]]"
Not to be confused with [[One-Liner Echo]], where a ''different'' character repeats the line. Compare [[Call Back]], where a line is echoed much later—this is when the line is echoed straight away. See also [[The Name Is Bond, James Bond]].
