'''Rhett:''' [[Precision F-Strike|Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn]].|''[[Gone with the Wind]]''}}

 

 

May be accompanied by a [[Caught the Heart on His Sleeve]] moment. Many many variations exist, such as "Don't leave me alone again!" "Don't abandon me!" or "You can't go!"

* Shinji says this to Asuka at one point in ''[[The End of Evangelion]]''.

* Sunao to Sora in ''[[Sukisho]]''.

* Alois to his butler Claude in the first episode of the second season of ''[[Black Butler]]''.

** He also says it to his little brother Luca {{spoiler|when he finds him dead}} and to Claude in episode 8 shortly before {{spoiler|Claude kills him}}.

* [[Tenshi ni Narumon|Mikael]] says something to that effect to {{spoiler|Raphael at the very end of the series when it looks like Raphael is leaving him behind. Turns out Raphael was only pretending and he eventually takes Mikael with him back to Heaven}}.

** Also, Natsumi said this to her brother, Fuyuki {{spoiler|who is technically Raphael}}, but in this case {{spoiler|he did leave her behind. Tells you a lot about Raphael's preferences, I guess}}.

* 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.

** [[Toy Ship|Chibitalia to the Holy Roman Empire]], as Holy Roman Empire goes off to fight in the Napoleonic Wars. They swear they'll see one another again, but the Holy Roman Empire is defeated and dissolved by Napoleonic France. Both a CMOH and [[Tear Jerker]].

** Italy to Germany, sometimes with no impetus at all (he's insecure like that), but most notably after Germany and Russia sign their non-aggression pact and Italy is afraid he's being replaced.

* Although the romanticism is questionable, Nagi uses this in typical [[Tsundere]] method in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' by implying that Maria and Hayate will eventually leave her (presumably for romantic relationships), and after convincing attempts are made by Hayate, she 'allows' him to continue working as her butler.

 

 

 

* In the ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' fanfic "Fire Burns," 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)

 

 

{{quote|'''Dory:''' "No. No, you can't... STOP. Please don't go away. Please? No one's ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave... if you leave... I just, I remember things better with you. I do, look. P. Sherman, forty-two... forty-two... I remember it, I do. It's there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And-and I look at you, and I... and I'm home. Please... I don't want that to go away. I don't want to forget."}}

* ''[[Gone with the Wind]]''. See the title quote.

{{quote|"Don't leave me, [[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious|Alec!]]"}}

* In ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'': [[The Movie]], Justin loses his memory, resulting in Alex desperately begging him not to leave her, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|after she starts crying and telling him that he is everything that she has ever wanted to be]].

{{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 />

** House to Wilson when Wilson {{spoiler|decides to give up a part of his liver for a patient.}} "If you die, I'm alone."

* ''[[Criminal Minds]]'': The UnSub of "The Uncanny Valley" says it to {{spoiler|a victim that's trying to escape}}. It manages to be both a [[Tear Jerker]] and the stuff of nightmares.

{{quote|'''Jack:''' Ianto? Ianto? Don't leave me, please. [[Tear Jerker|Please]].}}

* {{spoiler|Claire}} more than once in season 6 of ''[[Lost]]''.

* An episode of ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' that added much fuel to the [[Les Yay]] fire had Xena screaming, ''"Don't you leave me!"'' while trying to resuscitate a not-breathing Gabrielle.

* Effectively said by Dean in ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' when his brother is dying in his arms at the end of the first part of season one's two-part finale.

 

 

 

 

* [[Pink]]'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.''}}

* [[Supertramp]]'s "Don't Leave Me Now."

* [[Pink Floyd]] has a much darker song also called "Don't Leave Me Now," in which the narrator begs his wife to stay with him because he's dependent on abusing her.

 

 

* In ''[[Fatal Frame]] 2'', Mayu says this to Mio when she is locked in the repentance cell. She will also say it if Mio runs too far ahead of her.

* Many comedic examples from [[Guilt Based Gaming]]. ''[[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri]]'' uses the phrase: "Please don't go! The drones need you! They look up to you!"

** Similarly, although somewhat more meta, the final confirmation for canceling a ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' subscription is accompanied by a picture of an orc with a tear rolling down its face, while the form chides you for "making the peons cry".

* ''[[God of War|God of War: Chains of Olympus]]'' has {{spoiler|Calliope using this on Kratos, when he's forced to leave her forever in order to become the Ghost of Sparta again so he can defeat Persephone}}. The game even twists the knife by {{spoiler|making his pushing her away into a button-mashing minigame}}!

* {{spoiler|Visas'}} dialogue if you walk away after her possible [[Heroic Sacrifice]] during the duel with Nihilus in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic (video game)|Knights of the Old Republic]]''.

* In [[Final Fantasy V]], Krile says this to her grandfather Galuf {{spoiler|or rather, his spirit after his [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}.

 

== [[Real Life]] ==

* Anne Sullivan, of Helen Keller fame, even as she studied to be a teacher, had to deal with her sick brother James begging her to stay with him in the [[Orphanage of Fear]] where they'd been sent in childhood.
