Line 36:
* Parodied in ''[[The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin|Reginald Perrin]]'', when Reggie plays this trope straight for several lines, before saying "Yes, I ''am'' repeating everything you say, Mrs. C.J."
* Several of the ''[[The Shadow|Shadow]]'' pulps are set in various Chinatowns. When talking to his usual Chinese contact, the Shadow speaks Mandarin out of courtesy. That contact then translates for us as he replies in English (being polite right back at the Shadow).
* ''[[Discworld]]'': There is often one character who can understand
* Partially averted (deliberately) in ''Godel, Escher, Bach''; they talk on the telephone but only what Achilles mentioned is said, and what Tortoise said is omitted. Still, sometimes a few words are repeated in some cases, such as for clarification (see Real Life below).
