* The whole plot of ''[[Chasing Amy]]'' is the unfolding events of how a girl becomes this to the protagonist. The title of the movie itself is presented as another way of saying "[[The One That Got Away]]", and this trope could in fact be renamed to that with little difference in meaning.
{{quote|'''Silent Bob''': So there's me and Amy, and we're all inseparable, right? Just big time in love. And then four months down the road, the idiot gear kicks in, and I ask about the ex-boyfriend. Which, as we all know, is a really dumb move. But you know how it is: you don't wanna know, but you just have to, right? Stupid guy bullshit. So, anyway, she starts telling me about him... how they fell in love, and how they went out for a couple of years, and how they lived together, her mother likes me better, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... and I'm okay. But then she drops the bomb on me, and the bomb is this: it seems that a couple of times, while they were going out, he brought some people to bed with them. Menage à trois, I believe it's called. Now this just blows my mind, right? I mean, I am not used to this sort of thing. I mean, I was raised Catholic, for God's sake.
'''Jay''': Saint Shithead.

* ''One Touch Of Venus'': The reason that modern art collecter Whitlaw Savory buys a 3000-year-old Anatolian statue of a goddess is that it reminds him of "the girl who got away." When Savory runs into the goddess wandering through the [[Big Applesauce]], he recognizes her as [[The One That Got Away]], not as his missing statue.
