{{quote|''I regret to report that I am no longer fit for duty...''|'''[[Mook|A Random Hobgoblin]]''', after being crushed under a boulder, ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]''}}
 
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."
Line 8:
So he apologizes for leaving. Particularly [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerking]] if it's because of a [[Heroic Sacrifice]], as he's apologizing for not doing more when he just willingly gave his life.
 
In some ways an inversion of [[How Dare You Die Onon Me!]], in others, [[I Can Still Fight]].

Line 16:
* ''[[Buckaroo Banzai]]''. The black Lectroid John Gant is about to destroy his thermopod (and himself) to prevent the red Lectroids from capturing it.
{{quote| '''John Gant:''' My most profuse apologies to my homeland and loved ones...Perhaps John Parker will get through with our message to Buckaroo Banzai.}}
* In ''[[Serenity (Film)|Serenity]]'' Simon, while lying on the ground shot, and thinking he is dying, apologizes to River for ''not protecting her enough''. Gee whiz, I hope the patron saint of big brothers (whoever it is) puts in a good word for him. {{spoiler|Good thing he gets better.}}
 
 
Line 35:
 
== Webcomics ==
* ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'': A random hobgoblin sees a boulder flying in and knocks his commander out of the way. Last words, and possibly two out of his only three lines are:
{{quote| ''I regret to report that I am no longer fit for duty...Supreme Leader...''}}
