Line 7: '''Rhett:''' That's your misfortune. ''(turns to walk down the stairs)'' '''Scarlett:''' Oh, Rhett! ''(watches Rhett walk to the door)'' Rhett! ''(runs down the stairs after him)'' Rhett, Rhett! Rhett, Rhett... Rhett, if you go, where shall I go? What shall I do? '''Rhett:''' [[Precision F-Strike\|Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn]].~~\|''[[Gone with the Wind]]''}}~~ \|''[[Gone with the Wind]]''}} A [[Stock Phrase]] said by one character desperate for another not to leave. Often said by a very lonely character, or maybe a young character with no one else to look after them. Said by a love interest frequently as well. Line 14 ⟶ 15: If the person being addressed has to go on alone regardless for whatever reason, expect a [[Tear Jerker]] moment, especially when done coldly, such as with a [[Little No]]. This is also quite common when the person being addressed is dying, in which case this becomes [[How Dare You Die on Me!]]. Can also be [[Stay with Me Until I Die\|a plea to prevent]] [[Dying Alone]]. To turn this trope into an instant [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], just add one [[You Are Not Alone]]. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'', Mayu does this to keep Kaoru from going home. Line 48 ⟶ 49: * In the last volume of ''[[Hellsing]]'', {{spoiler\|when Alucard's disappearing after absorbing Schrodinger, Integra orders him not to. [[Tear Jerker\|It doesn't work.]]}} * Yuma of ''[[Oriko Magica]]'' really, really doesn't want Kyouko to leave her. * Roy to Riza in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)\|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. {{spoiler\|Riza gets her throat slit, Roy screams his lungs out at her to not die from where he's being held down by ninja old men. When the old men are finally dealt with, and Roy can reach Riza (who by the way is on the verge of unconsciousness/death), he begs her not to die and leave him. Complete with hug when she is healed, and [[And the Fandom Rejoiced\|the fandom squealed their hearts out.]] The trope is even more present in the anime, when Roy - holding her in [[~~Pieta~~Pietà Plagiarism]] style - specifically pleads, "Don't you dare die! ''Stay with me'', Lieutenant!"}} * [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] has a few. ** Colonial America to England when England has to go back to Europe. America is lonely without his [[Big Brother Mentor]]. [[The American Revolution]] has overtones of this going the other way around, but the words aren't actually said. Line 60 ⟶ 61: * Issue Seven of the third [[Blue Beetle]] has a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. Jamie, having vanished for a year, has his family not exactly accepting of him, and so he [http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/2166739.html explains] what's happened, eventually reliving a moment when he cries out "Don't let me die alone!". Which is when they go to him. * Issue Eleven of The Maxx by Sam Kieth. Julie and Maxx are sitting on a rooftop, where Julie is struggling to find the words to explain to him why she has to move away, with little success. While Maxx stares stoically off into the distance, The sky around him is literally comprised entirely of the words "please please please please...don't leave." * When [[Watchmen (comics)\|Jon Osterman]] is trapped in a lab device that will, {{spoiler\|as far as he knows}}, kill him in a few seconds when it switches on, he breaks down and begs Janey Slater not to leave him. She does, though - she says that she can't stand to watch. == Fan ~~Fiction~~Works == * In the ''[[Harry Potter (novel)\|Harry Potter]]'' fanfic "''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5479796/1/Fire-Burns Fire Burns,]'' by "Parnopius", Katherine is sick and on the verge of death, as well as having constant nightmares. When Severus is visiting, there is the following exchange: {{quote\|'''Katherine:''' Don't leave me...(falls asleep) '''Severus:''' I won't. And don't even think about leaving me. }} * In the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' fanfic "''[[Elemental Chess Trilogy\|Brilliancy]]''," Riza is kidnapped and possibly dead. After she's recovered alive: {{quote\|'''Roy:''' Don't ever leave me again. '''Riza:''' I'll do my best, sir. }} Line 87 ⟶ 88: * And in what is almost certainly a [[Shout-Out]] to the above, Robert to Giselle in ''[[Enchanted]]''. * ''9 1/2 Weeks'' just after she walks out. * ''[[A Face Inin ~~The~~the Crowd]]'' has Andy Griffith's character screaming "Don't leave me, Marcia", long after his girlfriend had left, even after she'd admitted she'd been the one to sabotage his career, over frustration with his raging ego. * In the little-known film ''[[Nocturna]]'', Tim says this to the Cat Shepherd {{spoiler\|after the latter [[Disney Death\|dies]]}}. * The Israeli film ''[[Ushpizin]]'', when Moshe runs after his wife, begging her not to leave him. Line 98 ⟶ 99: * [[The Lion King\|"Remember..."]] * An especially wrenching version in the film ''[[Open Water]]'', where the female lead tearfully screams at her husband, who's dying from the wounds sustained in a shark attack, to "hang on! Don't you leave me out all by myself!" {{spoiler\|Sadly, it proves useless. He dies and the heartbroken woman finally gives up hope of rescue and kills herself}} == [[Live Action TV]] == Line 106: * [[Doctor Who]]'s recurring villian coaxes one of these out of the Doctor: {{quote\|'''Master''': [Do you think I would want to] spend the rest of my ''life'', imprisoned with ''you''!? '''Doctor''': You've got to, come on. It can't end like this. You and me, all the things we've done? Axxons, remember the Axxons? And the Daleks. [[You Are Not Alone\|We're the only two left.]] [[Last of His Kind\|I've no one else.]] [[Tear Jerker\|REGENERATE!]] ~~<br />~~ '''Master''': How about that? [[Take That\|I win!]] [[Not So Stoic\|...will it stop, Doctor? The Drumming? Will it stop?]] ''Dies'' }} * During the first two seasons of ''[[Punky Brewster]]'', Allen Anderson was usually the addled tag-along chum. In season three's "Divorce Anderson Style," Allen is consigned to moving away with his mom to another city. As he says his goodbyes, Henry, Mrs. Garrett and Cherie hold up just fine. Punky is another story: when Allen gets to her, she loses it. As Allen leaves, Punky collapses into Cherie's arms, crying her eyes out. Line 133: {{spoiler\|His eyes opened, and he smiled again. "Never...," he whispered. "... my Padawan."}} {{spoiler\|His eyes closed, and he was gone.}} }} * ''[[The Lord of the Rings]] The Two Towers'', from Sam to Frodo: "[[Tear Jerker\|Don't go! Don't go where I can't follow!]]" * [[The Hunger Games\|"Stay With Me"]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming\|"Always]] == [[Music]] == * [[~~Pink~~P!nk]]'s "Don't Leave Me". Goes straight to [[Nightmare Fuel]] if you watch the music video or listen closely. {{quote\|''You're my perfect little punching bag.''}} * "Don't Ever Leave Me" from the musical ''Sweet Adeline''. Line 163: ** Biggest. [[Tear Jerker]]. Ever. * In ''[[Yo-Jin-Bo]]'', this is the usual course of action in the [[Multiple Endings\|Bad endings]]. The pendant pulls Sayori away from her chosen man, and leaves them both crying for the other to not leave. * ''[[Persona 3]] [[Updated Rerelease\|Portable]]'': In a [[New Game+]] you can pick a love interest to spend your last moments with. Out of all the love interests only {{spoiler\|[[~~May-December~~May–December Romance\|Ken Amada]]}} seems to realize that the protagonist performed a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] and asks her to stay with him. Granted {{spoiler\|[[You Killed My Father\|he lost his mom]] but some of the others have missing parents and [[Dead Little Sister~~\|Dead Little Sisters~~]]s too. Children Are Observant? Actually yes. [[Fridge Brilliance]] reminds us that [[Tarot Motifs\|Justice]] sometimes represents clarity and that is Ken's arcana.}} * In ''[[Mitsumete Knight]]'', {{spoiler\|[[Rich Bitch\|Linda]]}} says this sentence almost word for word in her Ending: {{quote\|"Don't go... I don't want to lose you... {{spoiler\|I don't want money nor fame anymore...}} I just don't want to lose you... {{spoiler\|[[A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted\|All I am now is a woman without merit who has fallen in poverty]], but}} I'd wish to stay by your side...
