Looney Toons: (deleted, never mind, bad cross-link in the memory circuits).

Twin Peaks had a great one, when Cooper thought he was dying:

"At a time like this, curiously, you begin to think of the things you regret, or the things you might miss. I would like in general to treat people with much more care and respect. I would like to climb a tall hill, but not too tall, sit in the cool grass, but not too cool, and feel the sun on my face. I wish I could have cracked the Lindbergh kidnapping case. I would very much like to make love to a beautiful woman who I had a genuine affection for. And of course it goes without saying that I would like to visit Tibet. I wish that the Tibetan government would allow the Dalai Lama to return to his native land. Oh, I would like that very much."


Kilyle: Isn't there a different page regarding speeches given when the guy thinks he's gonna die? And if so, why isn't there a link to it on this page? I'm talking things like the Doctor's deathbed confession in Voyager... well, actually, I think the phrase "deathbed confession" covers a lot of these moments, though not all. There's one in Order of the Stick where Haley starts to confess that she loves Elan ("I love you-") but then, upon being healed, switches to "I love ukeleles." Anyway, if we do have such a page, we need a link to it on this page, as they're closely related concepts.

Kilyle again: Nobody answered my question... should I just put the Doctor's speech up on this page then?


Ruthie A: I decided, while reading Hamlet in my Literature Class, that should I ever be a Shakesphere character (which I know is not possible, but for argument's sake...), and be mortally wounded, I would just keep talking, thus evoking this trope and surviving...at least until I ran out of things to say.

Bobby G: Somebody seems to have deleted the comics section, but the page history has vanished (not just for this page).


Haven: I like how it's phrased so that it seems like "There is another Skywalker" is from Citizen Kane XD
