Line 378:
** Subverted in ''[[Fables]]'', where the dying man says: "Tell each of my girlfriends I said her name last."
** Also subverted in the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "Brannigan Begin Again": '''Neutral Leader:''' "If I don't survive, tell my wife: Hello."
** Wonderfully subverted in ''[[No Country for Old Men]]'', near the start of the film.
{{quote|'''Llewellyn''', speaking to his wife: "If I don't come back, tell my Mom I love her."
'''Llewellyn's wife''': "Your mama's been dead for years..."
'''Llewellyn''': "Oh. Then I guess I'll tell her myself."}}
** Nicely subverted in the reboot of ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'', in which Spock starts one of these and Kirk cuts him off—to assure him the plan's going to work.
* "That was too close.": Spoken just after a near miss by a projectile, a last-second disarming of a bomb, etc. Sometimes seen in a two-character variation, as "That was close." "Yeah, a little ''too'' close."
Line 391 ⟶ 394:
* "There goes our deposit." Spoken when property damage ensues.
* "There's no 'I' in 'team'!" Optional stock response: "But there's an 'm' and an 'e', and that spells ''me''!" (Then there's the response from web series ''Red vs. Blue'': "Yeah, and there's no U either. So if I'm not on the team and you're not on the team, there's nobody on the goddamned team! The team sucks!")
{{quote|'''Cuddy''': There's no 'I' in team, [[House
'''House''': There is a 'me', though...if you jumble it up a bit. }}
** This troper prefers, "Then why is there an 'I' in 'partnership?" He's never had the opportunity to use it though.
