Line 6: See also [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]]. {{examples~~\|Examples:~~}} == [[Film]] == * ''Beantown'' {{quote\| '''Tony Lupino:''' If you don't hear from me, you know what to do.}} * ''California Frontier'' (1938) {{quote\| '''Mal Halstead:''' And in case you should happen to find any Mexicans camping out on the place, you know what to do.~~<br />~~ '''Buck Pearson:''' Why, no. Just exactly what do I do?~~<br />~~ '''Mal Halstead:''' Throw 'em off! They don't belong there. And if they holler, gun 'em off! This land is for Americans. }} * ''[[~~Cats and Dogs (Film)\|~~Cats and Dogs]]'' {{quote\| '''Mr. Tinkles:''' If they ever show their faces again, you know what to do.~~<br />~~ '''Calico:''' Yes. Tell them to wash with a loofah sponge. Kidding! Hello? Joke! }} * ''[[Hot Shots]]! Part Deux'' {{quote\| '''Topper Harley:''' You're the only one that knows how to get to the copter pad. If I'm not there in 15 minutes, you know what to do.~~<br />~~ '''Colonel Walters:''' Yeah, we get the hell out of here!~~<br />~~ '''Topper Harley:''' No! Wait another 15 minutes! }} * ''Revenge of the Ninja'' {{quote\| '''Braden:''' Keep an eye on the girl and don't let her out of the house. If she gives you any trouble you know what to do.}} * ''[[Toy Story (franchise)\|Toy Story]]'' {{quote\| '''Woody:''' Sergeant, establish a recon post downstairs. Code Red. You know what to do.}} * ''[[War and Peace]]'' (1956) {{quote\| '''Dolokhov:''' ''[re: French prisoners]'' Take them away! You know what to do with them!}} * In ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'', after Chief Inspector Butterman is finally convinced that the scene of an "accident" might be a murder, he rattles off orders to each of the police officers on the scene, finishing with this phrase to the two main characters. Cut to them standing around, holding down the crime scene. * Lampshaded in [[Reign of Fire]] : {{quote\| '''Quinn''': Anything happens, you know what to do.~~<br />~~ '''Creedy''': Errr... no, I have no idea.~~<br />~~ '''Quinn''': Me neither. }} * Rico's sargeant in the film version of ''[[Starship Troopers]]'' utters this but the movie makes it pretty clear [[Mercy Kill\|what that means]]. * The Witch says this to Maugrim in ''[[The Lion, the Witch ~~And~~and ~~The~~the Wardrobe]]'' as she sends him to hunt down the Pevensies. == [[Live Action Television]] == * ''[[Kyle XY]]'' episode "The List Is Life" {{quote\| '''Emily Hollander:''' You know what to do.~~<br />~~ '''Jessi XX:''' Mingle and blend in. }} * Variations of this were used ''all the time'' on [[The West Wing]]. The implication is that the characters were all so smart and good at their jobs and in tune with each other that they could leave some things unsaid. Unfortunately, the audience sometimes ended up confused. Example: Charlie (black) goes out with Zoey (white, and the President's daughter). Bartlett tells him: "You go out with Zoey, you're gonna get your picture taken. And you'll get letters. You know what to do with them?" Charlie just nods. The standard listen-to-your-heart Aesop would be "throw them in the trash", and many viewers might assume that's what is meant. But in the West Wing, of course, the real answer is "Hand them in to the Secret Service for exhaustive forensic analysis!" == [[Web Original]] == * ''[[~~Red vs. Blue (Machinima)\|~~Red vs. Blue]]'', Sarge gives a [[Rousing Speech]] in ''Revelation'' (Season 8), ending with… {{quote\| '''Sarge:''' You do, what you gotta do Private Grif.~~<br />~~ '''Grif:''' (groans) I'll go get my car keys. }} == [[Western Animation]] == * ''[[~~Family Guy (Animation)\|~~Family Guy]]'' {{quote\| '''Lois Griffin:''' Peter, punish Chris.~~<br />~~ '''Peter Griffin:''' Son, I'm watching the game, you know what to do.~~<br />~~ ''[Chris begins spanking himself]'' }} * ''[[~~Futurama (Animation)\|~~Futurama]]'': In "A Fishful of Dollars", [[Corrupt Corporate Executive\|Mom]] uses a security video to instruct her sons on how to bankrupt the newly-rich Fry. {{quote\| '''Mom:''' You know what needs to be done.~~<br />~~ '''Larry:''' What?~~<br />~~ '''Mom:''' [[Hair -Trigger Temper\|GET HIS PIN NUMBER]], [[Surrounded Byby Idiots\|YOU IDIOTS!]] }} == [[Video Games]] == * ''[[~~Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)\|~~Kingdom Hearts II]]'' * ''[[Zero Wing]]'' {{quote\| [[Translation Train Wreck\|You know what you doing.]]}} {{reflist}} [[Category:Stock Phrases]] [[Category:~~You Know What To Do~~{{PAGENAME}}]] ~~[[Category:Trope]]~~
