Line 2:
Alice and Carol are best friends. Alice is having a fling with Carol's boyfriend Bob and wants to do the right thing and come clean to Carol. The conversation would usually go like this:
{{quote|
'''Carol:''' Actually, I have something to say.
'''Alice:''' OK.
'''Carol:''' Bob, proposed to me! I'm so happy! This is the best thing that has ever happened to me! And I want you to be my maid of honour, because you have been such an amazing friend to me. Sorry, you were going to say something.
'''Alice:''' Oh, it's nothing. }}
Line 17:
* A variation is used in ''[[Old School]]'' (2003?), except one of the main characters is interrupted by one of the worst coincidences in the world.
* Happens almost verbatim in the recent ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How To Train Your Dragon]]'' movie:
{{quote|
'''Hiccup:''' "Dad! Uh, I have to talk to you, Dad."
'''Stoick:''' "I need to speak with you, too, son."
'''Stoick, Hiccup:''' [They both take deep breaths, then they both speak at once] "I've decided I don't want to fight dragons./I think it's time you learned to fight dragons."
'''Stoick, Hiccup:''' "What?"
'''Stoick:''' "Uh, you go first."
'''Hiccup:''' "Oh no, you go first."
'''Stoick:''' "All right... You get your wish: dragon training. You start in the morning."
'''Hiccup:''' "Oh, man, I should have gone first!" }}
* In ''[[Drillbit Taylor]]'', Drillbit starts to gear up to tell Lisa, a teacher he has fallen for, the truth about him (he's actually a homeless guy pretending to be a substitute teacher to protect three kids from a bully), but before he can get to that, she starts going on and on about how glad she is that he's such a great guy, since she usually dates absolute losers with nothing going for them, so he loses his nerve.
