Death. This is ([[Death Is Cheap|usu]][[Disney Death|ally]]) the final time this character will ever get to do ''anything''. This gives us such tropes as [[Anguished Declaration of Love]], where a Bob realizes this is the last chance he'll ever get to say, "I love you."

* Season four of ''[[Dexter]]'' gives us a non-verbal variant: {{spoiler|Agent Frank Lundy, after having rekindled his romance with Deb Morgan, is shot dead a few episodes in. Deb watches him take his last breath.}} Although he says nothing, she describes the look on his face as he's dying as "apologetic."
