Line 1: {{trope}} {{quote\| '''Alice:''' Wait! Bob, why did you...~~<br />~~ '''Bob:''' ''[looks at Alice]'' [[Stock Phrase\|You'd do the same for me.]] }} [[Stock Phrase]] that can be a way to brush off a thanks, being similar to [[Think Nothing of It]] with more than the surface meaning, or a [[Friendship Moment\|moment of friendship]] and [[The Power of Trust\|trust]]. Can be, "I'd hope you'd do the same for me," which could be more powerful, as it takes expectation of anything in return out of the equation, or "You did the same for me," to emphasize the friendship from both angles. May be played for [[Played for Laughs\|laughs]] or [[Played for Drama\|tears]] when that it is painfully obvious that ''no'', Alice ''wouldn't''. Genders don't matter. Flip the words around a bit and you get "I'd do the same for you," which makes this a guilt trip, not that that's always a bad thing. If it's a more serious situation, such as after a [[Shoot the Dog]], you may hear, "And I expect you to do the same for me." Line 10: {{examples}} == Fanfiction == * [[Discussed Trope]] in [[Harry Potter and ~~The Methods of Rationality (Fanfic)\|Harry Potter and The~~the Methods of Rationality]]. Harry explains that, in a true Prisoner's dilemma, you want to figure out how the other prisoner is going to ~~react--if~~react—if the prisoner is different enough to act opposite to you, then you rat him/her out. If not, you don't--knowing full well that the other person like you will come to the same conclusion, which is the only reason you're silent in the first place. == [[Film]] == * The end of ''[[Star Trek III: ~~the~~The Search For Spock]]'', after Kirk and the others have spent the duration of the film trying to save Spock: {{quote\| '''Spock:''' My father says that you have been my friend. You came back for me.~~<br />~~ '''Kirk:''' You would have done the same for me. }} * ''[[In The Electric Mist]]'' {{quote\| I have picked him out of the gutters from New Orleans to Lake Charles, held him when he had the shakes, and driven him to A-A meetings more times than I can remember. And he had done the same for me.}} * ''[[The Skulls]]'' flips it around to make a question. {{quote\| Imagine that. It's all paid for. I would do anything to protect you. Won't you do the same for me?}} * ''[[The Neverending Story (~~Film~~film)\|The Neverending Story]] II: The Next Chapter'' {{quote\| Yes. But you would have done the same for me.}} * ''[[Hard Eight]]'' {{quote\| I want you to see that my reasons for doing this are not selfish, only this: I'd hope that you would do the same for me.}} * In ''[[Starship Troopers (~~Film~~film)\|Starship Troopers]]'', a marine is snatched by a flying Arachnid, which begins to dismember him alive. Lt. Rasczak, his CO, grabs a sniper rifle and shoots him through the heart. He then turns to the remaining marines and says gravely: "And I expect anyone to do the same for me." {{spoiler\|Rico later does.}} [[Fridge Logic]] kicks in when you consider that Rasczak could have at least ''tried'' shooting the Arachnid first. ** Worth noting that this is exactly the opposite of the book's philosophy, which is all about [[No One Gets Left Behind]]. {{spoiler\|The lieutenant's death, in fact, comes when he's making sure every last one of his troopers, dead or alive, is evacuated from a battle.}} * This trope happens in ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', as Ned is saving them from the mob. He starts to tell Bart that Homer would do the same thing, but a glaring look from Bart causes him to backtrack. Line 30: == [[Literature]] == * In William King's ''[[Warhammer ~~40000~~40,000]]'' novel ''[[Space Wolf]]'', after Ragnar comes to Kjel's aid when two other aspirants are beating him, Kjel thanks him, and Ragnar dismisses it, "Think nothing of it. You'd do the same for me." == [[Live Action Television]] == * ''[[Smallville]]'': "Bound" {{quote\| I hope you would have done the same for me.}} * ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'': "Soldiers of the Empire" {{quote\| You did the same for me once.}} * ''[[Due South]]'' {{quote\| I'm sure if the situation were reversed, you'd do exactly the same for me.}} * In one episode of ''[[Everybody Hates Chris]]'', Chris abandons his Homecoming date to help Greg. When Greg says she'll hate him forever, Chris doesn't care, and is comforted when Greg says Chris would have done the same for him. Narrator Chris notes that years later, when the situation came up, he ''didn't''. * G'Kar and Londo on [[Babylon 5]] {{quote\| "I would be dead if not for you. You risked your life to save mine."~~<br />~~ "You would have done the same."~~<br />~~ "Yes, but I'm a better person." }} * When [[Firefly\|Mal]] is held hostage, Kaylee says to Zoe, "If it were any one of us, captain wouldn't hesitate." As she's arming up with Simon and Book. Line 49: == [[Music]] == * [[Olivia Newton John]]'s "Walk Through Fire" {{quote\| But I'll walk through fire. Through fire. Oh—I'll walk through fire for you. Through fire 'Cos I know you'd do the same for me ...}} * "Pandora's Kiss" {{quote\| Got me free to be~~<br />~~ Be your everything~~<br />~~ Cause you'd do the same for me }} == [[Video Games]] == * [[Invoked Trope]]/[[Exploited Trope]] in ''[[Resident Evil]]'' {{quote\| You'd do the same for me, wouldn't you?}} * [[Invoked Trope]] in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' {{quote\| Wouldn't you do the same for me if you knew I was dying?}} == [[Web Original]] == * [[Luke Mochrie and The Inners\|Luke Mochrie]] said this to [[Bad Movie Beatdown ~~(Web Video)~~\|Film Brain]] in ''[[Suburban Knights]]''. This marked the beginning of the thawing out of their rivalry. == [[Western Animation]] == Line 70: {{reflist}} [[Category:Stock Phrases]] [[Category:~~You Would Do the Same For Me~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
