* "It's our anniversary!" followed by "..." and "YOU FORGOT, DIDN'T YOU." or some variation on that.
* "It's no use, Johnny. I'm done for. You save yourself." From classic [[WWII]] films, the soon-to-be-martyred hero urges his friend to escape the oncoming enemy while he bleeds out. Sometimes results in the martyr being picked up and carried to medical aid, though.
* "It's not about the (trivial thing)!" Said when it's time to discuss What's Going Wrong in This Relationship.
* "It's our only hope!"
