* In ''Film/SearchingForBobbyFischer'', Jonathan beats an experienced player at chess and says "Trick or treat" (maybe a reference to Jonathan's own age?). When Josh beats Jonathan at the championship, Josh repeats the phrase.
* ''Film/LittleSweetheart'': Thelma [[spoiler:gives one to Elizabeth just before she opens fire, when Elizabeth tries to stop her by saying they're friends. As Elizabeth yelled at her that they're not friends earlier, after Thelma threatened her with the gun, Elizabeth really should have seen that coming.]]
* ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'': Olaf arrives to [[FateWorseThanDeath save]] the Baudelaire orphans from being eaten from the [[MeaningfulName Lachrymose Leeches.]] The phrase he uses to welcome the orphans is the same as the one he uses in their first meeting.
-->'''Count Olaf''': Hello, hello, hello. '''[[NightmareFuel I missed you guys.]]'''
* ''Film/PulpFiction'': In the 3rd scene of the movie, Marcellus Wallace is convincing Butch to throw his boxing match and says this:
-->'''Marcellus Wallace:''' The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride fuckin' with you
** And then later, when [[spoiler:Butch has Marcellus on the ground, punching him in the face repeatedly after not throwing the fight,]] says this to him:
-->'''Butch:''' You feel that sting, big boy, huh? That's pride FUCKIN' with you!!
* Lampshaded in ''Film/GoodWillHunting'', Creator/RobinWilliams' line [[spoiler:Sorry, I have to go see about a girl.]] is later used by Matt Damon and Robin Williams reply is "Son of a bitch, stole my line."
* ''Film/ThreeHundred'' goes the malicious route. "This will not be over quickly..." is used by Theron against Gorgo, then reversed by her when she gives him his comeuppance.
* ''Film/MissCongeniality'' uses the second situation. "It is not a beauty pageant. It is a ''scholarship program!''"
** Also, before her transformation, Sandra Bullock's character Gracie answers a question with "Yeah." Candice Bergen's character Kathy Morningside (the director of the pageant) corrects her, saying "Yes." At the end of the movie, when Gracie is pushing Morningside in the car, the ex-pageant winner says "Yeah, yeah." Gracie corrects her, echoing "Yes" before shutting the door in the shocked woman's face.
* In ''Film/HarryPotter and the Order of the Phoenix'', as in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix the book]], Professor Umbridge forces Harry to copy lines using a magic pen that etches the words "I must not tell lies" into the back of his hand. He proves how well he learned his lesson when, under attack by enraged centaurs, Umbridge [[DirtyCoward begs him to tell them she means them no harm.]] "Sorry, Professor. I must not tell lies."
** And in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]]'' he does it to her ''again'' when she's trying to force a {{muggle|s}}-born witch to confess to stealing her wand from someone else. As it happens, neither of these instances occurred in the books; they were added to the movies as a bit of cruel irony.
* A similar phrase was used in the stage musical ''Theatre/{{Annie}}''. When the FBI takes Miss Hannigan away, she pleads to have Annie witness to how good she treated her and the other orphans. Annie responds with the one thing Miss Hannigan always taught her: "Never tell a lie."
* In ''Film/{{Prince of Persia|TheSandsOfTime}}'' Sheik Amar and Dastan's brief discussion regarding Seso and his amazing knife throwing abilities. The first time was played for laughs, the second... [[TearJerker not so much]].
--> '''Sheik Amar''': Have I told you about the Ngbaka?
--> '''Prince Dastan''': Yes, you have.
* Played with in the film adaptation of ''TheSecretGarden''; when Mary's name is called at the station in London, the children start singing the nursery rhyme "Mary Mary Quite Contrary". Later on in the film, Dickon starts singing it and Mary remarks that the children used to sing it at her on the boat from India. She then happily sings the rest of the song with Dickon.
* A rather subtle version of this is employed in ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. Throughout the movie, various characters are constantly advising or admonishing Marty to "use your head." In the climax of the film when the [=DeLorean=] stalls, it only starts again when Marty [[PercussiveMaintenance thumps his head]] onto the steering wheel.
* In ''Film/LittleGiants'', the two coaches (brothers; the [[JerkJock all-American]] versus the geek) put up their businesses (the geek's gas station versus the jock's car dealership) on the outcome of the game between them. At halftime, with the jock's team up, he taunts, "You'll always have a job at the full-service pumps." At the end of the game, the geek's team wins, and the jock wants out. After teasing him for a second, the geek retorts, "You'll always have a job at (my new car dealership)!"
* In ''Film/ShesAllThat'', when Taylor dumps Zack for Brock, she says "You didn't think I'd leave for college still dating you, did you? Oh, you did? That's sweet." Later, when Brock dumps her, he uses almost the exact same line.
* At the beginning of ''Film/LegallyBlonde'', Warner dumps college girlfriend Elle, saying "If I'm gonna be a senator by the time I'm thirty, I've gotta stop dicking around." At the end of the movie, when Elle is a promising law student and Warner tries to win her back, she replies, "If I'm going to be a partner in a law firm by the time I'm thirty, I need a boyfriend who isn't a total bonehead."
* ''Film/AChristmasStory'' has a recurring line: "You'll shoot your eye out." At the end of the movie, Ralphie shoots off his new BB gun, the BB ricochets and grazes his cheek just below his eye. His first thought: "OH MY GOD, I '''SHOT MY EYE OUT!'''". In the moments that follow, he steps on and breaks his glasses, which is [[BlindWithoutEm effectively the same thing]].
* ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' plays this into the ground, including (but not limited to):
** "You've got red on you."
** "I'm sorry." "You haven't got anything to be sorry about..." "No. I'm ''sorry''."
*** "I'll stop doing 'em when you stop laughing." "I'm not laughing."
** "He's not my Dad."
** "It's on random!"
** "Big Al says so."
** "Dogs ''can'' look up!"
** "Oh, leave 'im alone!"
** A non-verbal example; the two scenes in which Shaun walks from his house to the shop, which are filmed exactly the same. The first time, pre-ZombieApocalypse, everything's normal. The second time, post-ZombieApocalypse, the street is trashed and the living dead are wandering around. Shaun's equally oblivious to what's going on both times.
** When Shaun is lamenting in the pub after breaking up with Liz, all of Ed's statements about what to do are the entire rest of the movie.
* The last half-hour of ''Film/HotFuzz'' runs on 50% CrowningMomentOfAwesome, 50% Ironic Echoes.
* In ''Film/BatmanBegins'', both Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox get {{Ironic Echo}}es in as they reveal to Earle they've taken over Wayne Enterprises.
** "Mind your surroundings."
** "Don't be afraid."
** "Finders Keepers"
** "It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you."
* ''Film/AKnightsTale'' has the villain repeatedly taunting the hero with the words "You have been weighed. You have been measured. You have been found wanting." Much later, after the villain gets his comeuppance, the hero's sidekicks repeat the phrase back to the villain.
** There's also a line uttered by one of the sidekicks early on; "God love you, William." "I know, I know. No-one else will." Later, it makes for a [[Heartwarming/AKnightsTale Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] as said sidekick repeats the first sentence, and finishes it with "And so do I."
* In ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'', the phrase, "Do what I say, and you'll live," is used twice. The first time, it is spoken by Creator/SamuelLJackson's character, advising a witness who is in mortal danger. The second time comes at the end, [[spoiler:by the witness himself, advising Jackson on how to really enjoy life]].
* ''Film/BeingThere'': "I understand." (Movie version only.)
* ''Film/{{Shaft}}'': Vic tells Shaft to "Close it yourself, shitty!" referring to the door of his apartment, echoing (non-ironically) the woman Shaft has just slept with. In the final scene, Shaft echoes the line, this time referring to "closing the case."
* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'': "By ''your'' leave, Mr. Norrington!"
** Subverted by [[MagnificentBastard Barbossa]].
-->'''Barbossa:''' ''(after Elizabeth tells him to leave)'' I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.
*** Later in the movie, when he sends Ragetti to request that she join Barbossa for dinner.
-->'''Elizabeth:''' You may tell your Captain that I am disinclined to acquiesce to his request.\\
'''Ragetti:''' He said you'd say that.
** There's also this gem...
-->'''Elizabeth:''' ''(after failing to convince to the other pirates to go back with her for Jack)'' Bloody Pirates.
*** A little later on...
-->'''Ragetti:''' ''(seeing the ''Black Pearl'' sailing off)'' Is it supposed to be doing that?\\
'''Pintel:''' They're stealing our ship!\\
'''Ragetti:''' Bloody Pirates.
** "They're more like guidelines anyway!"
** How about this one?
-->'''Norrington:''' You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of.
** Later still...
-->'''Groves:''' He must be the best pirate I've ever seen!\\
'''Norrington:''' So it would seem.
** From the third film, Elizabeth uses the line 'It was my burden to bear' to justify not telling Will about [[spoiler:feeding Jack to the kraken.]] Will uses the same line when it's revealed he led Sao Feng to the Pearl.
** Barbosa claims the Brethren Court should rely on "the sweat of our brows, and the strength of our backs" when he wants to rely on [[spoiler:Calypso]] to save them. After her betrayal, Elizabeth uses the same words to rally both Barbosa and the pirates to fight on their own.
** Several times, the phrase 'it's just good business' is used to justify characters betraying one another. The final use is by Cutler Beckett, when he [[spoiler:realises he's going to die after the crew of ''the Dutchman'' turn on him and accepts his fate]].
* A hilarious example of this is in ''[[Film/TheKarateKid The Karate Kid Part II]]'', the JerkJock of a martial arts teacher's saying is, "Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here. A man who faces you is the enemy. Enemies deserve no mercy." which he drills into his students with full force. In the sequel he gets pissed off at the fact that his number one pupil lost to Mr. Miyagi's student who he thinks is a joke. So he takes it out on his pupils after he lost and starts to almost kill one of them until Mr. Miyagi tells him to stop. He doesn't listen and tries to take out Mr. Miyagi. He also ends up with shattered hands full of glass and on his knees -- [[DeadlyDodging Mr. Miyagi didn't even touch him, it was all his own doing]]. While he's crying out in pain and begging for mercy, Mr. Miyagi in a dangerous voice repeats the line while holding the jerk's head in his hands: "Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here. A man who face you he is enemy. Enemy deserve no mercy."
** Everyone, even his loyal pupil believes he's going to finish the guy off. But at the last second instead of striking he honks the guy's nose and the guy passes out anyway.
*** The nose honk itself is also an echo, as Daniel does the same thing to Chozen at the end of the movie.
** There is also the scene where Uncle disowns Chozen for not helping Daniel save the teenage girl during the hurricane. "Now too you, I am dead." Later when Uncle tries to talk Chozen out of his duel to the death with Daniel, Chozen reminds Uncle of what he said. "I don't hear you, Uncle. I'm dead to you, remember?"
* In ''Film/ChangingLanes'', Ben Affleck's character pulls a Type 2 of sorts near the end -- following the advice, but in a way which the advice-giver didn't intend.
* In ''TheMachinist'', Trever first says "I know who you are!" repeatedly and angrily when he thinks he has worked out the identity of Ivan, and then later in a terrified tone when he actually has worked out Ivan's identity ([[spoiler: a sort-of personification of his guilt]]).
* In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}} sarcastically comments: "Wolverine, whoever goes into the dam needs to be able to operate the spillway mechanism. What do you intend to do? Scratch it with your claws?" Later on, that's exactly what he does (well, a ''bit'' more than scratch) to save all the protagonists from being drowned by the flood approaching down the spillway -- smash a fist full of claw into the mechanism.
** And in the third: "best defense is a good offense", as well as Wolverine throwing Magneto's us vs. them rhetoric right back in his face [[spoiler:when he gets hit with the mutant cure]].
** And in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', Sebastian tells young Magneto to "move the coin by the time I count to three", and shoots his mom in front of him when he fails. Later, when Magneto has Sebastian helpless...
-->'''Magneto''': I'm going to count to three, and then I'm going to [[PrettyLittleHeadshots move the coin]].
** Also from ''First Class'': "Mutant and proud."
** ''First Class'' also gives us the more meta example of Xavier echoing the Nazis' famous historical defence that they were "JustFollowingOrders". Those two ex-SS guys Magneto killed in the Argentina bar near the beginning while looking for Shaw also used this as their defense.
* In ''Film/TheAmericanPresident'', current US president Andrew Shepard makes fun of his rival running for office's catchphrase a few times throughout the film, which is "My name is Bob Rumpsen and I'm running for President!" At the film's climax, in a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, President Shepard makes a moving speech condemning Rumpsen and all his tactics, ending with the following twist: "My name is Andrew Shepard and I ''am'' the President."
* Fairly early in ''Film/TheDeathsOfIanStone'', the title character's girlfriend recites to him, "Cross my heart and hope to die/Stick a needle in your eye." (It's a children's rhyme, in case you don't know, often accompanying children's promises.) [[spoiler:He has in fact crossed her heart, inasmuch as they were apparently lovers of some sort before he developed a sense of ethics. She can't kill him, but is more than capable of putting him through enough torment for him to "hope to die."]] And when the first half of that rhyme is repeated? [[spoiler:[[EyeScream She really does stick a needle in his eye.]]]]
* In the 1952 version of ''Film/MoulinRouge'', Jane Avril excitedly bids farewell to Toulouse-Lautrec in the first scene with the line, "There's the most ''divine'' creature waiting for me..." She says this again to say goodbye to him at the end, when [[spoiler:he lies dying and hallucinates that the Moulin's dancers have returned.]]
* Happens in ''Film/FistOfTheNorthStar''. At the start of the film Kenshiro, not wanting to fight his [[LoveMakesYouEvil former friend and love rival Shin]], says that "The North Star and the Southern Cross should never fight", only for Shin to respond "That is true... but there is no North Star" just before almost killing Ken. At the end the film the roles are reversed, with Ken simply saying Southern Cross in place of North Star. Oddly enough, by that part it seems like Shin may be serious and honestly repenting what he's done, yet Ken goes on beating him to death.
* In the ''Series/SexAndTheCity'' movie, Steve admits that he cheated on Miranda and they fight, with him trying desperately to apologize and saying it was a one-time lapse of judgment, etc., while she says that now she can't trust him ever again. Near the end of the movie, Miranda admits that her slip of the tongue might have cost Carrie her marriage and Carrie winds up using almost the exact same lines as Miranda did to chew her out for it.
* ''WhatDreamsMayCome'': Christopher tends to say the phrase, "Sometimes when you win, you lose," to somebody close to him when circumstances don't work out how they should (such as when he and his wife Annie decide to part ways after their children's deaths). However, [[spoiler:after he has successfully travelled to Hell, located Annie, and redeemed her by not abandoning her in her time of need as he did in life,]] she walks up to him with a smile on her face and echoes, "Sometimes, when you lose... You win."
* ''GrandHotel'' (1932): "Grand Hotel... always the same. People come, people go. [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere Nothing ever happens.]]"
* ''Film/SympathyForLadyVengeance'' has Lee Geum-ja being told, "Stop crying, bitch, it brings bad luck." by another inmate upon her incarceration. Geum-ja repeats this back to the same inmate, who was dying of kidney failure, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when she gives her one of her kidneys.]]
* ''Film/{{Yentl}}'' has two: "Nothing's impossible!", first uttered to the [[SweetPollyOliver titular character]] by her study partner Avigdor after he asks her/him to marry his ex-fiancée, later uttered by her when Avigdor almost leaves town after she refuses the favor. The other is "God will understand. I'm not so sure about the neighbors," first said by Yentl's father when asked why he is closing the windows if God will understand that his teaching her Talmudic law, which was forbidden to women at the time, is not with ill intent. It is said again by her to Avigdor's ex-fiancée (now her legal ''wife'') in the same context.
* In ''Film/TheTrumanShow'', every morning Truman greets his neighbor with the phrase "Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!" He says the same thing before walking out the door in the sky dome at the end of the movie and entering the real world for the first time.
* ''StrictlyBallroom'' has "a life lived in fear" bounced around several times between Fran and Scott, with a final game-changing echo from [[spoiler:Doug]].
* In the original film ''Film/TheCrow'' Albrect confronts Eric, saying "you move and you're dead". Based on his current situation, Eric's reply is "I'm dead and I move".
** In ''TheCrowCityOfAngels'', Ashe Corven does this with several of the targets of his RoaringRampageOfRevenge: "You're wasting your breath, Angelito! Nobody's up there listening!" "Nothing personal, sport." and for the Big Bad himself, "Pain is my power."
* During the climax of ''Film/ReturnToOz'' the Nome King gives Dorothy a chance to rescue the Scarecrow by taking part in a potentially lethal game, and offers the [[MixAndMatchCritters sofa-bodied Gump]] the chance to take the first turn:
-->'''The Nome King:''' Why doesn't the sofa go first?\\
''(after the Gump loses...)''\\
'''The Nome King:''' Next... Pumpkinhead!
** Later, when Dorothy starts winning...
-->'''The Nome King:''' ''STOP!!!''\\
'''Dorothy:''' But we haven't finished guessing yet! You promised that if we guessed correctly--\\
'''The Nome King:''' [[VillainousBreakdown I'M TIRED OF GAMES. I'M TIRED OF ALL OF YOU!]] WHY DOESN'T THE SOFA GO... FIRST?\\
''(he reaches down and tears the Gump's body off, consuming it whole)''\\
'''The Nome King:''' NEXT... PUMPKINHEAD!
* In ''Film/TheGhostAndTheDarkness'', Remmington says to Patterson. "You've just been hit. The getting up is up to you." Patterson later repeats it back to Remmington.
* ''Film/RunFatboyRun'': Creator/HankAzaria's character is piloting an R/C boat. When his girlfriend's son asks if he can try, he says, "No, but you can watch me do it." At the end, when Azaria is in the hospital, the kid adjusts the bed until he is nearly crushed. "Can I control the bed?" "No, but you can watch me do it."
* ''Film/TrickRTreat'': Steven Wilkins wishes Mr. Kreeg a Happy Halloween, and the only answer he gets is "Screw you!" Later, Steven sees Kreeg through the window, banging on the glass and calling for help (it's not until the end of the movie that we find out why he needed it). Steven is uninterested in helping him. "Screw ''you''."
* "A chance for Captain Faramir of Gondor to show his character." in TheFilmOfTheBook of ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Two Towers]]'' would have been a direct quote from the book. It becomes an IronicEcho because the movie completely reverses Faramir's motivations in this scene. In the book, he overcomes the lure of the Ring and sends Frodo and Sam on their way; in the movie he succumbs temporarily and tries to take them to Minas Tirith.
** Also in ''The Two Towers'', Theoden makes a comment that they (the ones at Helm's Deep) are alone. At the end, when all seems lost, Eomer shows up with reinforcements, saying that Theoden isn't alone.
* In the 2009 ''Film/StarTrek'', [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] says to Kirk at their introduction, "I may throw up on you", referring to his air sickness. Later, when he injects Kirk with a vaccine that makes him nauseous, Kirk repeats this line back.
** Earlier, Kirk referred to another cadet as "Cupcake". Later in the movie, when trying to escape from the security, the same cadet appeared to prevent Kirk from escaping, calling him "Cupcake".
** And in ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', [[spoiler:Data]] echoes the Borg's "ResistanceIsFutile".
** In ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'', Decker and Kirk have the following exchange:
-->'''Decker:''' Moving into that cloud, at this time, is an unwarranted gamble.\\
'''Kirk:''' How do you define unwarranted?
** And then later, after [[spoiler:Ilia has been zapped by the probe]]:
-->'''Decker:''' This is how I define unwarranted!
* In ''Film/BlueThunder'', BigBad Colonel Cochrane's CatchPhrase is "Catch ya later", which he uses to annoy TheHero, Frank Murphy. At the end of their climactic helicopter duel, Murphy says the line back to the (now violently deceased) Cochrane as a BondOneLiner.
* In ''Film/KeyLargo'', Rocco spends most of the movie armed and dangerous, threatening to shoot the hostages on the slightest whim, taunting Frank as a coward for surviving the war. When the hurricane starts turning Rocco into a quivering mass, Frank taunts back: "You don't like it, do you Rocco, the storm? Show it your gun, why don't you? If it doesn't stop, shoot it!"
* In ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle'', the title characters have an encounter with racist white hoodlums who harass an Indian shopkeeper with [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "Thank you, come again!"]] Toward the end of the movie, they encounter the same characters. Harold, who has been taking crap for the entire movie, [[BewareTheNiceOnes finally snaps]] and boldly steals their truck. As they're driving away, Kumar victoriously taunts the outraged hoodlums with this same line.
* In ''Film/EmpireRecords'', Warren is being dragged out of Empire Records kicking and screaming after being arrested for shoplifting, when Lucas delivers a parting shot. "Take care of yourself, Warren. Don't let the Man get you down." At the end of the movie, Warren returns to the store and [[spoiler:scares everyone by pretending to shoot up the place. Though the gun is real, the bullets aren't.]] As the situation gets resolved, Warren finds himself in the employees' good graces after dropping the whole macho routine, to the point of even being given a job there. When the cops arrive to deal with Warren, Lucas again says, "Take care of yourself. Don't let the Man get you down." The irony is that Lucas is clearly mocking Warren when he says that the first time, but he sincerely means it when he says it the second time.
* In the first ''Film/{{Spider-Man|Trilogy}}'' movie, Peter is ripped off by his wrestling promoter, and when he protests that he needs the money the promoter sneers back, "I missed the part where that's ''my'' problem." Then, as Peter's leaving, the promoter is robbed, and Peter lets the robber slip past him. The promoter is outraged and demands to know why Peter didn't stop him from getting away with the promoter's money. Peter's response? "I missed the part where that's ''my'' problem." [[spoiler:This chance to have an ironic echo backfires big-time for Peter when [[HarsherInHindsight the robber he let get away ends up shooting his uncle]]. [[RetCon Well, the partner of the robber he let get away ends up shooting his uncle.]] ]]
* ''Film/DemolitionMan'': "Is it cold in here, or is it just me?"
* ''Film/TheRunningMan''. Killian is involved in multiple examples.
** When Killian first meets the captive Richards he says "Hello, cutie-pie. One of us is in deep trouble." When Richards escapes and confronts Killian, he repeats the line back to him.
** Killian talks about last year's winners: "there they are, and at this very moment they're basking in the beautiful Maui sun, their debt to society paid in full", while doctored video of them doing just that played. When the transmission is hijacked, the line is repeated, showing their real fate: dead and decayed in the game arena.
** Killian tells his bodyguard Sven to eject Captain Freedom. When Sven doesn't immediately act, Killian says "What's the matter, steroids make you deaf?". Later on, when Killian expects Sven to save him from Richards, Sven says "I got to score some steroids" and walks away, leaving him to Richards' mercy.
* ''Film/ThePrincessBride'':
-->'''Buttercup:''' Promise to return him to his ship!\\
'''Humperdinck:''' I swear it will be done.\\
'''Humperdinck:''' ''(quiet aside to Count Rugen)'' Once we're out of sight, take him back to Florin and throw him in the Pit of Despair.\\
'''Count Rugen:''' I swear it will be done.
** Also, the dialogue surrounding IAmNotLeftHanded.
* From the first ''Film/BringItOn'', after a terrible routine at Regionals, Torrence's boyfriend tries to cheer her up by telling her "You're a great cheerleader, Tor, and you're cute as hell. But maybe you're not "captain" material." Later, after Torrence found out he cheated on her, she calmly told him "You're a great cheerleader, Aaron, and you're cute as hell. But maybe you're not "boyfriend" material."
* In the beginning of ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'', Robert asks Giselle if "[this is] a habit of [hers], falling off things?" She replies "Well, there's usually someone there to catch me." Later, when positions are reversed, she asks him the same question, to which he replies "Only when you're there to catch me."
* In ''{{Duplicity}}'', when the head of Equikrom's espionage unit is telling his boss about the history of Ronny Patiz, he mentions that Ronny made some kind of lotion. The boss asks if it was a cream or a lotion. Toward the end of the film, [[spoiler:when Ray and Claire are selling Ronny's formula for a hair-growth shampoo to the Swiss, they are told, "This formula is nothing but a common skin cream. Sorry, a lotion."]]
* In ''ThePhiladelphiaStory'', Dexter tells Tracy:
-->'''Dexter:''' The fact is you'll never be a first-class human being or a first-class woman, until you've learned to have some regard for human frailty.
** Later, Tracy unwittingly echoes the line to Mike.
-->'''Tracy:''' The truth is you'll never, you can't be, a first-rate writer or a first-rate human being, until you've learned to have some small regard for human [[HeelRealization frai--]]
** Also, Tracy says the following when talking about class politics:
-->'''Tracy:''' Upper and lower my eye; I'll take the ''lower'', thanks.
*** Ironically, Dexter uses the same expression when defending the ''upper'' classes to George.
-->'''George:''' You and your whole rotten class!\\
'''Dexter:''' Oh class my ''eye''!
* In ''Film/GoldenEye'', Alec Trevelyan, during his last mission with James Bond, declared "For England!" before being seemingly killed. Later, when he revealed himself as the villain Janus, he muttered "For England" after knocking Bond unconscious. At the end of their final fight, when Bond has Trevelyan at his mercy, Trevelyan says, "For England, James?" Bond answers, "No. For me," before letting Trevelyan plunge to his death.
** Also, Xenia Onatopp tries to do this to Bond with another line that's repeated twice. When they first meet during a card game in Monte Carlo, she tells him "The pleasure is all mine." Later, after she's established herself as TheDragon and tries to kill Bond, he has a fight scene with her and makes her take him to Janus. Bond asks if she had a nice evening, and she replies, "Well, once again the pleasure was all yours". The line comes a third time later in the movie when she attacks him again, and says "This time, Mr. Bond, the pleasure will be all mine." However, this being a Film/JamesBond movie, he gives her a KarmicDeath.
* In ''Film/IronMan2'', Justin Hammer tells Ivan Vanko to not get too attached to things in reference to his bird. Vanko soon offers Hammer the same advice in reference to Hammer's drones.
** At the beginning of [[Film/IronMan1 the first film]], Tony proudly proclaims that "the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I'll start making bricks and beans for baby hospitals". Later, when Tony has his epiphany, Obadiah Stane makes a similar remark, illustrating what Tony could have been if hadn't seen what his weapons were being used for.
* ''Film/RealGenius'': Chris convinces Mitch to get revenge on Kent by telling him "It's a moral imperative." Later, Mitch tells him the same thing when convincing him to pass Hathaway's test.
* In ''Literature/{{Trainspotting}}'', Renton's "choose life" speech sarcastically lists all of the 'benefits' of sobriety, only to end with him questioning why he needs it when he's got heroin. At the end [[spoiler: having cheated his mates and stolen thousands of pounds from them]], he once again lists the same benefits of sobriety, but this time is fully sincere about living that life.
* In ''Bad Influence'' Rob Lowe's character says, "You make a very funny face when you come" to James Spader's character while [[spoiler: watching the videotape he made of Spader having sex]], much to the latter's horror. Later in the film, Spader turns this around by saying, "Has anyone ever told you you make a very funny face when you come?" while [[spoiler: holding a knife to Lowe's throat]]. It's something of a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome CMoA]] and a TakeThat for the character as well.
* Hammed up in ''{{Fallen}}'', as first and last line of the film: [[spoiler: I'm going to tell you about the time I NEARLY died.]]
* In ''Film/EverAfter'', when Jacqueline (the nicer of the two stepsisters) tries to give her mother a reality check by reminding her that "it's only a ball," Rodmilla replies coldly, "and you're only going for the food." Later in the film, when Rodmilla and Marguerite are receiving their comeuppance, Jacqueline finally gets some of her own back for all of her mother's belittling:
-->'''Rodmilla:''' Jacqueline, ''dear''. I'd hate to think that ''you'' had anything to do with this?
-->'''Jacqueline:''' [[SarcasmMode Of course not, mother]]. I'm only here for the food!
* The Russian film ''Adventures of Masha and Vitja'' has a scene where the kids find a house with a woman claiming to be a good witch who "likes boys and girls very much". She invites them to have a nap in her house and when she believes they are asleep, it is revealed she is a WickedWitch when she starts explaining how she will cook the kids because [[ToServeMan "I like boys and girls very much"]] For a kid-oriented film that's NightmareFuel.
* In ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'', Destro's minion Doctor Mindbender tells research subjects "This will only hurt a little. What comes next, more so" before injecting them with Destro's nanomites. At the climax of the film [[spoiler: Cobra Commander]] says the same to Destro when injecting him with a new strain of nanomites.
* ''Literature/{{Fried Green Tomatoes|AtTheWhistleStopCafe}}'':
-->'''Evelyn:''' Hey! I was waiting for that spot!\\
'''Girl #1:''' Face it, lady, we're younger and faster!\\
'''Evelyn:''' *rear-ends the other car six times*\\
'''Girl #1:''' What are you ''doing''?\\
'''Girl #2:''' Are you ''crazy''?\\
'''Evelyn:''' Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance.
* In ''Film/TheMonsterSquad'', bullies routinely pick on Horace by calling him 'Fat Kid', to which he ineffectually protests that "My name is Horace!" Then, after he's blown away the Creature From The Black Lagoon with a shotgun in front of those same bullies, who are cowering in fear behind a window:
-->'''Bully:''' Hey, Fat Kid! Good job!\\
'''Horace:''' My ''name''... ''[[Awesome/TheMonsterSquad is Horace]]''. [DramaticGunCock]
* ''Film/WeWereSoldiers'', and Sgt. Savage's greeting to Sergeant Major Plumley: "It's a beautiful morning, Sergeant Major!" (It's met with a less than friendly response.)

* Early in ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'', Partridge (who feels emotion, which is illegal and chemically suppressed in the future) quotes William Yeats to Preston (who's about to kill him), including the line "Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams".

It doesn't seem to make sense, considering [=DuPont=] didn't hear Partridge use the quote, but he likely would have read any paperwork that Preston filled out, including the quote. The IronicEcho was likely a last-ditch attempt to throw Preston off and gain an upper hand in their duel. [[spoiler: It fails.]]
* In the movie ''{{Ushpizin}}'', there is "Like that?" "Only like that." Said first when the main character is telling his wife that he only wants to be with her. Later, [[spoiler: when she tells him that she's leaving so that he can find a wife who will give him children.]]
* ''Film/MaxKeeblesBigMove'' does three variations: First is when Principal Jindrake tells Keeble that he "excourages" horseplay and slacking off. Keeble later uses that exact word when realizing that the manner he decided to take care of the bullies was not the right way to do so. The second is where Keeble tells Jindrake that his suspicions of Jindrake being a criminal were actually "ground-full" and then telling him to look it up when he protested the word. Jindrake did the same thing earlier in the film with the Excourage part. The third and last part is between Jenna and Megan: During their first meeting, Jenna explains to Megan that Megan is actually sitting in her seat, complete with "CantYouReadTheSign" on the chair, and then telling her to "shoo-shoo!" Megan then tells Jenna those exact same words when Max explains that he's seeing someone (Megan) when refusing Jenna's invitation.

Quaid escapes and later fights Richter in an elevator. Quaid gets the upper-hand and as Richter falls off the elevator armless, Quaid repeats the same line, "See you at the party, Richter!"
* In ''Film/TheDevilsAdvocate'': While John Milton gives Kevin a job interview, Kevin asks John if they're negotiating? He answers, "Always".

(Dean [[BatmanGambit is aiming]] for an EnemyMine situation there)

Izzie reveals it's her crush's favorite game, and she's trying to get good at it, so she'll have something in common with him. Rosie says, "Sounds like a firm basis for a relationship." Later on, Rosie's [[MayDecemberRomance much younger date]] arrives at their house, and while looking around, discovers a bottle of medication, and that he takes the same kind. Izzie repeats "Sounds like a firm basis for a relationship."

Don't you forget it." Near the end of the movie, after Dalton assaults Wesley's compound, Wesley is shot by several denizens who's property he destroyed; Frank Tilghman, the owner of the Double Deuce bar then says "This is our town. Don't you forget it," before firing the shot that kills him.
* ''Film/{{Inception}}'' has Saito asking Cobb, who's dubious about the inception attempt, "Do you want to take a leap of faith, or become an old man filled with regret, waiting to die alone?"

* In ''Film/DrDolittle 2'', Dolittle tries to get an endangered bear to mate in order to save a forest. The CorruptCorporateExecutive tells him that won't happen so he makes an offer noting this way he can save face, won't have to admit he was wrong, and won't look like a fool.

* ''TrainingDay'': "You wanna go to jail, or do you wanna go home?"
* "Someone stole that man's face" from ''Film/MysteryTeam''. Originally said to convey disgust at an image by one character; later said to describe [[spoiler: what the characters did to the ''BigBad'']]. Played very much for laughs.
* In the Schwarzenegger movie ''Film/RawDeal'', Kaminsky was forced to resign from the FBI after beating the shit out of a guy who had murdered a little girl. The district attorney's words to Kaminsky were "Resign or be prosecuted." Near the end of the movie, after Kaminsky has taken out the mob boss villain and his men, he finds the district attorney, who it turns out was on the boss's payroll.

Later, when Neo surrenders to Smith in order to effectively defeat him (long story short, Neo has to merge with Smith to eliminate him while connected to the source), Neo says "You were right, Smith. You were right all along. It was inevitable."
** Something the Oracle said to Neo:
--> "You became the one because you chose to."
*** In ''Revolutions'' after Smith's "Why Mr. Anderson" speech
--> '''Smith:''' "...why, Mr. Anderson, do you persist?!"
--> '''Neo:''' "Because I choose to."
* ''Theatre/{{RENT}}'': "I'll cover you" shows up twice. The first time, it's part of a LoveDuet and an extended metaphor about a pair of lovers looking out for each other. The second time, it's part of a eulogy.
* In the Series/KamenRiderDouble movie Begins Night, Shotaro calls Phillipe "Akuma" (Devil) for his involvement in the creation of [[TransformationTrinket Gaia Memories]].

(Do you have the courage to ride with the Devil?)
* In ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption,'' the warden talks to Andy about his bible, telling him that "salvation lies within."

* In ''Film/{{Collateral}}'', Vincent tells Max an anecdote about how [[spoiler:a man once got on the ATM in LA and died, with nobody noticing the corpse traveling around the city until much later]]. At the end of the film, as the same situation is happening to him, [[spoiler:Vincent notes the irony similarity of his own fate just before he dies, and wonders whether anyone will notice]].[[note]]Considering he's a bloodied corpse sitting in the middle of a damaged train and not somebody, like the other guy, who just looks like he's sleeping, we can safely say yes.[[/note]]
* Early on in ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'', Andrew shouts at [[{{Delinquents}} Bender]], "You don't even count. You could disappear forever, and it wouldn't make any difference. You might as well not even exist at this school." Later on when they start opening up to each other, [[JerkassFacade Bender]] says "What do you care what I think, anyway? I don't even count ... right? I could disappear forever and it wouldn't make any difference. I might as well not even exist at this school, remember?"
* A few examples in ''Film/TheAvengers''
** When Loki first appears, Fury tries to defuse the situation by saying "We have no quarrel with your people": Loki responds "An ant has no quarrel with a boot." When Loki is captive on the Helicarrier, Fury says that one button is all it will take to jettison the cell, Loki included, and remarks (pointing at Loki) "Ant..." (points at button) "...Boot."
** Tony sarcastically remarking that [[spoiler:Coulson's first name is "Agent", then later, "His name was Phil." Bonus points for it being said both times in the same room, on different days.]]
** A more serious one: while ferrying Captain Rogers to the Helicarrier, [[PhilCoulson Agent Coulson]] says that "Maybe people need 'old-fashioned'" in response to Captain America's traditional suit, but clearly referring to the ideals Captain America represents. Later, at the team's darkest moment, Fury suggests that believing in heroes might be "an old-fashioned notion."
* ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen''. While hunting Mr. Hyde, Quatermain saves Sawyer from being injured by falling masonry and tells him "Eyes open, boy. I can't protect you all the time". Near the end Sawyer protects Quatermain from [[spoiler:Moriarty]]'s attack and repeats the line back to him.
* In ''ICantThinkStraight'', the newly outed Leyla tries to convince Tala (the woman whom she's been having an affair with) to leave her fiance and come out as well so they can be together. Noticing Tala's reluctance, Leyla asks if Tala is in love with her fiance. Tala responds with; "There are things I love about him." Later on in the film, after meeting Leyla's new girlfriend, the now single Tala asks Leyla if she loves said new girlfriend. Leyla's response? "There are things I love about her."
* In ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'' after Shady Tree gets James Bond out of the retort to question him about the fake diamonds that he and Felix Leiter had loaded into Peter Franks' body, Bond proceeds to leave the funeral parlor as he tells him and Morton Slumber, "My condolences, gentlemen!" All the ingredients of a BondOneLiner except a fatality are present in those three words.
* A variant in the Korean horror film White: The Melody of the Curse. While Eun-joo is still a member of the Pink Dolls, the other members mock her for being a former backup dancer. Cut to after she thinks she's safe and is a famous solo idol and they're trying to get back into the scene after recovering from her injuries. They come to talk to her about maybe getting back together. And Eun-joo tells them...that she could find them spots as her backup dancers if they'd like.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'': After Bane delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Batman and proceeds to imprison him, he tells him "When it is done, and Gotham is ashes, ''then'' you have my permission to die."

-->WHEN YOU TELL ME WHERE THE TRIGGER IS... ''then'' you have my permission to die!
* In ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'', James Bond walks into his hotel room to find an assassin standing over the body of [[spoiler:Paris Carver]]. He tells Bond that the news will report that the victim's body and that of an unidentified man were found in a hotel room. The assassin was right, as later a news report tells us exactly that - he just made a fatal error as to the identity of the unidentified man.
* In ''Film/NationalTreasure'', Agent Sadusky tells Ben twice, "Someone's got to go to prison, Ben." The first time is during an interrogation concerning the theft of the Declaration of Independence; the second time, someone ''does'' go to prison... after Ben leads Sadusky to the someone in question.

* ''Film/LesMiserables2012'' has a ''visual'' Ironic Echo. During "Stars", there's a significant and striking high-angle shot of Javert's feet as he walks along the edge of a building. It's supposed to make him seem confident and dominant. The exact same shot is repeated [[spoiler:just before he commits suicide]].
* ''Film/HomeAlone'' also has a visual IronicEcho. Several times when Old Man Marley, the MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold, appears to Kevin, it begins by showing only his heavy boots complete with scary music. The first few times it`s supposed to convey Kevin`s fear of him. The final time he`s arrives to save Kevin and it`s the burglars who are supposed to be afraid.
* There are two in ''Film/PitchBlack''.
** Imam offers to pray with Riddick, but Riddick explains that he has nothing but [[{{Naytheist}} loathing for God]]. Iman says that even though the circumstances are grim, He is with them nonetheless. Later, [[spoiler:when it starts raining which will make the flares protecting them from the aliens go out]], Riddick cynically remarks "So where the hell's your God now?" And even later, [[spoiler:when Riddick goes back with Fry to save Jack and Imam]], Iman states "There is my God, Mr. Riddick."
** The scenes at the skiff. [[spoiler:Riddick tries to convince Carolyn to abandon Imam and Jack. Once she forces him to go back for them and they've returned to the skiff, it's Imam and Jack who quietly urge Carolyn to leave the fallen-behind Riddick.]]
* In CirqueDuSoleil's ''Amaluna'', the Peacock Dance act gets the ironic echo treatment when the Black Peacocks separate Miranda and Romeo, and cast the latter into the Underworld, complete with a DarkReprise of the Peacock Goddess's theme (Enchanted Reunion). Two acts later, Miranda's waterbowl is used to imprison Romeo during [[BigBad Cali]]'s juggling act.
* In ''Film/{{Dogma}}'', when the demon Azrael has everyone cornered, Silent Bob is the only one willing to confront him.

I'm a fucking demon..."
* ''Film/JackTheGiantSlayer'': "There's something behind me, isn't there?"
* ''Film/{{Oblivion 2013}}'' : Between Mission Control and Victoria, Jack's partner.
--> '''Mission Control:''' Are you an effective team?
--> '''Victoria:''' We are an effective team.\\
(When Victoria betrays Jack)\\
'''Mission Control:''' Are you still an effective team?\\
'''Victoria:''' We are not an effective team.
* In the 1989 film ''TheFabulousBakerBoys'', real life brothers Jeff and Beau Bridges play the titular brothers, talented pianists whose lounge act is past its prime. One bar owner they're trying to get gig from says simply "we'll call you." They decide to add a singer, Michelle Pfeiffer, and that turns their fortunes around. The same bar owner now comes to them asking if they can play his joint. They tell him "We'll call you."
----
* In ''Film/SearchingForBobbyFischer'', Jonathan beats an experienced player at chess and says "Trick or treat" (maybe a reference to Jonathan's own age?). When Josh beats Jonathan at the championship, Josh repeats the phrase.
* ''Film/LittleSweetheart'': Thelma [[spoiler:gives one to Elizabeth just before she opens fire, when Elizabeth tries to stop her by saying they're friends. As Elizabeth yelled at her that they're not friends earlier, after Thelma threatened her with the gun, Elizabeth really should have seen that coming.]]
* ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'': Olaf arrives to [[FateWorseThanDeath save]] the Baudelaire orphans from being eaten from the [[MeaningfulName Lachrymose Leeches.]] The phrase he uses to welcome the orphans is the same as the one he uses in their first meeting.
-->'''Count Olaf''': Hello, hello, hello. '''[[NightmareFuel I missed you guys.]]'''
* ''Film/PulpFiction'': In the 3rd scene of the movie, Marcellus Wallace is convincing Butch to throw his boxing match and says this:
-->'''Marcellus Wallace:''' The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride fuckin' with you
** And then later, when [[spoiler:Butch has Marcellus on the ground, punching him in the face repeatedly after not throwing the fight,]] says this to him:
-->'''Butch:''' You feel that sting, big boy, huh? That's pride FUCKIN' with you!!
* Lampshaded in ''Film/GoodWillHunting'', Creator/RobinWilliams' line [[spoiler:Sorry, I have to go see about a girl.]] is later used by Matt Damon and Robin Williams reply is "Son of a bitch, stole my line."
* ''Film/ThreeHundred'' goes the malicious route. "This will not be over quickly..." is used by Theron against Gorgo, then reversed by her when she gives him his comeuppance.
* ''Film/MissCongeniality'' uses the second situation. "It is not a beauty pageant. It is a ''scholarship program!''"
** Also, before her transformation, Sandra Bullock's character Gracie answers a question with "Yeah." Candice Bergen's character Kathy Morningside (the director of the pageant) corrects her, saying "Yes." At the end of the movie, when Gracie is pushing Morningside in the car, the ex-pageant winner says "Yeah, yeah." Gracie corrects her, echoing "Yes" before shutting the door in the shocked woman's face.
* In ''Film/HarryPotter and the Order of the Phoenix'', as in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix the book]], Professor Umbridge forces Harry to copy lines using a magic pen that etches the words "I must not tell lies" into the back of his hand. He proves how well he learned his lesson when, under attack by enraged centaurs, Umbridge [[DirtyCoward begs him to tell them she means them no harm.]] "Sorry, Professor. I must not tell lies."
** And in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]]'' he does it to her ''again'' when she's trying to force a {{muggle|s}}-born witch to confess to stealing her wand from someone else. As it happens, neither of these instances occurred in the books; they were added to the movies as a bit of cruel irony.
* A similar phrase was used in the stage musical ''Theatre/{{Annie}}''. When the FBI takes Miss Hannigan away, she pleads to have Annie witness to how good she treated her and the other orphans. Annie responds with the one thing Miss Hannigan always taught her: "Never tell a lie."
* In ''Film/{{Prince of Persia|TheSandsOfTime}}'' Sheik Amar and Dastan's brief discussion regarding Seso and his amazing knife throwing abilities. The first time was played for laughs, the second... [[TearJerker not so much]].
--> '''Sheik Amar''': Have I told you about the Ngbaka?
--> '''Prince Dastan''': Yes, you have.
* Played with in the film adaptation of ''TheSecretGarden''; when Mary's name is called at the station in London, the children start singing the nursery rhyme "Mary Mary Quite Contrary". Later on in the film, Dickon starts singing it and Mary remarks that the children used to sing it at her on the boat from India. She then happily sings the rest of the song with Dickon.
* A rather subtle version of this is employed in ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. Throughout the movie, various characters are constantly advising or admonishing Marty to "use your head." In the climax of the film when the [=DeLorean=] stalls, it only starts again when Marty [[PercussiveMaintenance thumps his head]] onto the steering wheel.
* In ''Film/LittleGiants'', the two coaches (brothers; the [[JerkJock all-American]] versus the geek) put up their businesses (the geek's gas station versus the jock's car dealership) on the outcome of the game between them. At halftime, with the jock's team up, he taunts, "You'll always have a job at the full-service pumps." At the end of the game, the geek's team wins, and the jock wants out. After teasing him for a second, the geek retorts, "You'll always have a job at (my new car dealership)!"
* In ''Film/ShesAllThat'', when Taylor dumps Zack for Brock, she says "You didn't think I'd leave for college still dating you, did you? Oh, you did? That's sweet." Later, when Brock dumps her, he uses almost the exact same line.
* At the beginning of ''Film/LegallyBlonde'', Warner dumps college girlfriend Elle, saying "If I'm gonna be a senator by the time I'm thirty, I've gotta stop dicking around." At the end of the movie, when Elle is a promising law student and Warner tries to win her back, she replies, "If I'm going to be a partner in a law firm by the time I'm thirty, I need a boyfriend who isn't a total bonehead."
* ''Film/AChristmasStory'' has a recurring line: "You'll shoot your eye out." At the end of the movie, Ralphie shoots off his new BB gun, the BB ricochets and grazes his cheek just below his eye. His first thought: "OH MY GOD, I '''SHOT MY EYE OUT!'''". In the moments that follow, he steps on and breaks his glasses, which is [[BlindWithoutEm effectively the same thing]].
* ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' plays this into the ground, including (but not limited to):
** "You've got red on you."
** "I'm sorry." "You haven't got anything to be sorry about..." "No. I'm ''sorry''."
*** "I'll stop doing 'em when you stop laughing." "I'm not laughing."
** "He's not my Dad."
** "It's on random!"
** "Big Al says so."
** "Dogs ''can'' look up!"
** "Oh, leave 'im alone!"
** A non-verbal example; the two scenes in which Shaun walks from his house to the shop, which are filmed exactly the same. The first time, pre-ZombieApocalypse, everything's normal. The second time, post-ZombieApocalypse, the street is trashed and the living dead are wandering around. Shaun's equally oblivious to what's going on both times.
** When Shaun is lamenting in the pub after breaking up with Liz, all of Ed's statements about what to do are the entire rest of the movie.
* The last half-hour of ''Film/HotFuzz'' runs on 50% CrowningMomentOfAwesome, 50% Ironic Echoes.
* In ''Film/BatmanBegins'', both Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox get {{Ironic Echo}}es in as they reveal to Earle they've taken over Wayne Enterprises.
** "Mind your surroundings."
** "Don't be afraid."
** "Finders Keepers"
** "It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you."
* ''Film/AKnightsTale'' has the villain repeatedly taunting the hero with the words "You have been weighed. You have been measured. You have been found wanting." Much later, after the villain gets his comeuppance, the hero's sidekicks repeat the phrase back to the villain.
** There's also a line uttered by one of the sidekicks early on; "God love you, William." "I know, I know. No-one else will." Later, it makes for a [[Heartwarming/AKnightsTale Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] as said sidekick repeats the first sentence, and finishes it with "And so do I."
* In ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'', the phrase, "Do what I say, and you'll live," is used twice. The first time, it is spoken by Creator/SamuelLJackson's character, advising a witness who is in mortal danger. The second time comes at the end, [[spoiler:by the witness himself, advising Jackson on how to really enjoy life]].
* ''Film/BeingThere'': "I understand." (Movie version only.)
* ''Film/{{Shaft}}'': Vic tells Shaft to "Close it yourself, shitty!" referring to the door of his apartment, echoing (non-ironically) the woman Shaft has just slept with. In the final scene, Shaft echoes the line, this time referring to "closing the case."
* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'': "By ''your'' leave, Mr. Norrington!"
** Subverted by [[MagnificentBastard Barbossa]].
-->'''Barbossa:''' ''(after Elizabeth tells him to leave)'' I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.
*** Later in the movie, when he sends Ragetti to request that she join Barbossa for dinner.
-->'''Elizabeth:''' You may tell your Captain that I am disinclined to acquiesce to his request.\\
'''Ragetti:''' He said you'd say that.
** There's also this gem...
-->'''Elizabeth:''' ''(after failing to convince to the other pirates to go back with her for Jack)'' Bloody Pirates.
*** A little later on...
-->'''Ragetti:''' ''(seeing the ''Black Pearl'' sailing off)'' Is it supposed to be doing that?\\
'''Pintel:''' They're stealing our ship!\\
'''Ragetti:''' Bloody Pirates.
** "They're more like guidelines anyway!"
** How about this one?
-->'''Norrington:''' You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of.
** Later still...
-->'''Groves:''' He must be the best pirate I've ever seen!\\
'''Norrington:''' So it would seem.
** From the third film, Elizabeth uses the line 'It was my burden to bear' to justify not telling Will about [[spoiler:feeding Jack to the kraken.]] Will uses the same line when it's revealed he led Sao Feng to the Pearl.
** Barbosa claims the Brethren Court should rely on "the sweat of our brows, and the strength of our backs" when he wants to rely on [[spoiler:Calypso]] to save them. After her betrayal, Elizabeth uses the same words to rally both Barbosa and the pirates to fight on their own.
** Several times, the phrase 'it's just good business' is used to justify characters betraying one another. The final use is by Cutler Beckett, when he [[spoiler:realises he's going to die after the crew of ''the Dutchman'' turn on him and accepts his fate]].
* A hilarious example of this is in ''[[Film/TheKarateKid The Karate Kid Part II]]'', the JerkJock of a martial arts teacher's saying is, "Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here. A man who faces you is the enemy. Enemies deserve no mercy." which he drills into his students with full force. In the sequel he gets pissed off at the fact that his number one pupil lost to Mr. Miyagi's student who he thinks is a joke. So he takes it out on his pupils after he lost and starts to almost kill one of them until Mr. Miyagi tells him to stop. He doesn't listen and tries to take out Mr. Miyagi. He also ends up with shattered hands full of glass and on his knees -- [[DeadlyDodging Mr. Miyagi didn't even touch him, it was all his own doing]]. While he's crying out in pain and begging for mercy, Mr. Miyagi in a dangerous voice repeats the line while holding the jerk's head in his hands: "Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here. A man who face you he is enemy. Enemy deserve no mercy."
** Everyone, even his loyal pupil believes he's going to finish the guy off. But at the last second instead of striking he honks the guy's nose and the guy passes out anyway.
*** The nose honk itself is also an echo, as Daniel does the same thing to Chozen at the end of the movie.
** There is also the scene where Uncle disowns Chozen for not helping Daniel save the teenage girl during the hurricane. "Now too you, I am dead." Later when Uncle tries to talk Chozen out of his duel to the death with Daniel, Chozen reminds Uncle of what he said. "I don't hear you, Uncle. I'm dead to you, remember?"
* In ''Film/ChangingLanes'', Ben Affleck's character pulls a Type 2 of sorts near the end -- following the advice, but in a way which the advice-giver didn't intend.
* In ''TheMachinist'', Trever first says "I know who you are!" repeatedly and angrily when he thinks he has worked out the identity of Ivan, and then later in a terrified tone when he actually has worked out Ivan's identity ([[spoiler: a sort-of personification of his guilt]]).
* In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}} sarcastically comments: "Wolverine, whoever goes into the dam needs to be able to operate the spillway mechanism. What do you intend to do? Scratch it with your claws?" Later on, that's exactly what he does (well, a ''bit'' more than scratch) to save all the protagonists from being drowned by the flood approaching down the spillway -- smash a fist full of claw into the mechanism.
** And in the third: "best defense is a good offense", as well as Wolverine throwing Magneto's us vs. them rhetoric right back in his face [[spoiler:when he gets hit with the mutant cure]].
** And in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', Sebastian tells young Magneto to "move the coin by the time I count to three", and shoots his mom in front of him when he fails. Later, when Magneto has Sebastian helpless...
-->'''Magneto''': I'm going to count to three, and then I'm going to [[PrettyLittleHeadshots move the coin]].
** Also from ''First Class'': "Mutant and proud."
** ''First Class'' also gives us the more meta example of Xavier echoing the Nazis' famous historical defence that they were "JustFollowingOrders". Those two ex-SS guys Magneto killed in the Argentina bar near the beginning while looking for Shaw also used this as their defense.
* In ''Film/TheAmericanPresident'', current US president Andrew Shepard makes fun of his rival running for office's catchphrase a few times throughout the film, which is "My name is Bob Rumpsen and I'm running for President!" At the film's climax, in a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, President Shepard makes a moving speech condemning Rumpsen and all his tactics, ending with the following twist: "My name is Andrew Shepard and I ''am'' the President."
* Fairly early in ''Film/TheDeathsOfIanStone'', the title character's girlfriend recites to him, "Cross my heart and hope to die/Stick a needle in your eye." (It's a children's rhyme, in case you don't know, often accompanying children's promises.) [[spoiler:He has in fact crossed her heart, inasmuch as they were apparently lovers of some sort before he developed a sense of ethics. She can't kill him, but is more than capable of putting him through enough torment for him to "hope to die."]] And when the first half of that rhyme is repeated? [[spoiler:[[EyeScream She really does stick a needle in his eye.]]]]
* In the 1952 version of ''Film/MoulinRouge'', Jane Avril excitedly bids farewell to Toulouse-Lautrec in the first scene with the line, "There's the most ''divine'' creature waiting for me..." She says this again to say goodbye to him at the end, when [[spoiler:he lies dying and hallucinates that the Moulin's dancers have returned.]]
* Happens in ''Film/FistOfTheNorthStar''. At the start of the film Kenshiro, not wanting to fight his [[LoveMakesYouEvil former friend and love rival Shin]], says that "The North Star and the Southern Cross should never fight", only for Shin to respond "That is true... but there is no North Star" just before almost killing Ken. At the end the film the roles are reversed, with Ken simply saying Southern Cross in place of North Star. Oddly enough, by that part it seems like Shin may be serious and honestly repenting what he's done, yet Ken goes on beating him to death.
* In the ''Series/SexAndTheCity'' movie, Steve admits that he cheated on Miranda and they fight, with him trying desperately to apologize and saying it was a one-time lapse of judgment, etc., while she says that now she can't trust him ever again. Near the end of the movie, Miranda admits that her slip of the tongue might have cost Carrie her marriage and Carrie winds up using almost the exact same lines as Miranda did to chew her out for it.
* ''WhatDreamsMayCome'': Christopher tends to say the phrase, "Sometimes when you win, you lose," to somebody close to him when circumstances don't work out how they should (such as when he and his wife Annie decide to part ways after their children's deaths). However, [[spoiler:after he has successfully travelled to Hell, located Annie, and redeemed her by not abandoning her in her time of need as he did in life,]] she walks up to him with a smile on her face and echoes, "Sometimes, when you lose... You win."
* ''GrandHotel'' (1932): "Grand Hotel... always the same. People come, people go. [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere Nothing ever happens.]]"
* ''Film/SympathyForLadyVengeance'' has Lee Geum-ja being told, "Stop crying, bitch, it brings bad luck." by another inmate upon her incarceration. Geum-ja repeats this back to the same inmate, who was dying of kidney failure, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when she gives her one of her kidneys.]]
* ''Film/{{Yentl}}'' has two: "Nothing's impossible!", first uttered to the [[SweetPollyOliver titular character]] by her study partner Avigdor after he asks her/him to marry his ex-fiancée, later uttered by her when Avigdor almost leaves town after she refuses the favor. The other is "God will understand. I'm not so sure about the neighbors," first said by Yentl's father when asked why he is closing the windows if God will understand that his teaching her Talmudic law, which was forbidden to women at the time, is not with ill intent. It is said again by her to Avigdor's ex-fiancée (now her legal ''wife'') in the same context.
* In ''Film/TheTrumanShow'', every morning Truman greets his neighbor with the phrase "Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!" He says the same thing before walking out the door in the sky dome at the end of the movie and entering the real world for the first time.
* ''StrictlyBallroom'' has "a life lived in fear" bounced around several times between Fran and Scott, with a final game-changing echo from [[spoiler:Doug]].
* In the original film ''Film/TheCrow'' Albrect confronts Eric, saying "you move and you're dead". Based on his current situation, Eric's reply is "I'm dead and I move".
** In ''TheCrowCityOfAngels'', Ashe Corven does this with several of the targets of his RoaringRampageOfRevenge: "You're wasting your breath, Angelito! Nobody's up there listening!" "Nothing personal, sport." and for the Big Bad himself, "Pain is my power."
* During the climax of ''Film/ReturnToOz'' the Nome King gives Dorothy a chance to rescue the Scarecrow by taking part in a potentially lethal game, and offers the [[MixAndMatchCritters sofa-bodied Gump]] the chance to take the first turn:
-->'''The Nome King:''' Why doesn't the sofa go first?\\
''(after the Gump loses...)''\\
'''The Nome King:''' Next... Pumpkinhead!
** Later, when Dorothy starts winning...
-->'''The Nome King:''' ''STOP!!!''\\
'''Dorothy:''' But we haven't finished guessing yet! You promised that if we guessed correctly--\\
'''The Nome King:''' [[VillainousBreakdown I'M TIRED OF GAMES. I'M TIRED OF ALL OF YOU!]] WHY DOESN'T THE SOFA GO... FIRST?\\
''(he reaches down and tears the Gump's body off, consuming it whole)''\\
'''The Nome King:''' NEXT... PUMPKINHEAD!
* In ''Film/TheGhostAndTheDarkness'', Remmington says to Patterson. "You've just been hit. The getting up is up to you." Patterson later repeats it back to Remmington.
* ''Film/RunFatboyRun'': Creator/HankAzaria's character is piloting an R/C boat. When his girlfriend's son asks if he can try, he says, "No, but you can watch me do it." At the end, when Azaria is in the hospital, the kid adjusts the bed until he is nearly crushed. "Can I control the bed?" "No, but you can watch me do it."
* ''Film/TrickRTreat'': Steven Wilkins wishes Mr. Kreeg a Happy Halloween, and the only answer he gets is "Screw you!" Later, Steven sees Kreeg through the window, banging on the glass and calling for help (it's not until the end of the movie that we find out why he needed it). Steven is uninterested in helping him. "Screw ''you''."
* "A chance for Captain Faramir of Gondor to show his character." in TheFilmOfTheBook of ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Two Towers]]'' would have been a direct quote from the book. It becomes an IronicEcho because the movie completely reverses Faramir's motivations in this scene. In the book, he overcomes the lure of the Ring and sends Frodo and Sam on their way; in the movie he succumbs temporarily and tries to take them to Minas Tirith.
** Also in ''The Two Towers'', Theoden makes a comment that they (the ones at Helm's Deep) are alone. At the end, when all seems lost, Eomer shows up with reinforcements, saying that Theoden isn't alone.
* In the 2009 ''Film/StarTrek'', [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] says to Kirk at their introduction, "I may throw up on you", referring to his air sickness. Later, when he injects Kirk with a vaccine that makes him nauseous, Kirk repeats this line back.
** Earlier, Kirk referred to another cadet as "Cupcake". Later in the movie, when trying to escape from the security, the same cadet appeared to prevent Kirk from escaping, calling him "Cupcake".
** And in ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', [[spoiler:Data]] echoes the Borg's "ResistanceIsFutile".
** In ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'', Decker and Kirk have the following exchange:
-->'''Decker:''' Moving into that cloud, at this time, is an unwarranted gamble.\\
'''Kirk:''' How do you define unwarranted?
** And then later, after [[spoiler:Ilia has been zapped by the probe]]:
-->'''Decker:''' This is how I define unwarranted!
* In ''Film/BlueThunder'', BigBad Colonel Cochrane's CatchPhrase is "Catch ya later", which he uses to annoy TheHero, Frank Murphy. At the end of their climactic helicopter duel, Murphy says the line back to the (now violently deceased) Cochrane as a BondOneLiner.
* In ''Film/KeyLargo'', Rocco spends most of the movie armed and dangerous, threatening to shoot the hostages on the slightest whim, taunting Frank as a coward for surviving the war. When the hurricane starts turning Rocco into a quivering mass, Frank taunts back: "You don't like it, do you Rocco, the storm? Show it your gun, why don't you? If it doesn't stop, shoot it!"
* In ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle'', the title characters have an encounter with racist white hoodlums who harass an Indian shopkeeper with [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "Thank you, come again!"]] Toward the end of the movie, they encounter the same characters. Harold, who has been taking crap for the entire movie, [[BewareTheNiceOnes finally snaps]] and boldly steals their truck. As they're driving away, Kumar victoriously taunts the outraged hoodlums with this same line.
* In ''Film/EmpireRecords'', Warren is being dragged out of Empire Records kicking and screaming after being arrested for shoplifting, when Lucas delivers a parting shot. "Take care of yourself, Warren. Don't let the Man get you down." At the end of the movie, Warren returns to the store and [[spoiler:scares everyone by pretending to shoot up the place. Though the gun is real, the bullets aren't.]] As the situation gets resolved, Warren finds himself in the employees' good graces after dropping the whole macho routine, to the point of even being given a job there. When the cops arrive to deal with Warren, Lucas again says, "Take care of yourself. Don't let the Man get you down." The irony is that Lucas is clearly mocking Warren when he says that the first time, but he sincerely means it when he says it the second time.
* In the first ''Film/{{Spider-Man|Trilogy}}'' movie, Peter is ripped off by his wrestling promoter, and when he protests that he needs the money the promoter sneers back, "I missed the part where that's ''my'' problem." Then, as Peter's leaving, the promoter is robbed, and Peter lets the robber slip past him. The promoter is outraged and demands to know why Peter didn't stop him from getting away with the promoter's money. Peter's response? "I missed the part where that's ''my'' problem." [[spoiler:This chance to have an ironic echo backfires big-time for Peter when [[HarsherInHindsight the robber he let get away ends up shooting his uncle]]. [[RetCon Well, the partner of the robber he let get away ends up shooting his uncle.]] ]]
* ''Film/DemolitionMan'': "Is it cold in here, or is it just me?"
* ''Film/TheRunningMan''. Killian is involved in multiple examples.
** When Killian first meets the captive Richards he says "Hello, cutie-pie. One of us is in deep trouble." When Richards escapes and confronts Killian, he repeats the line back to him.
** Killian talks about last year's winners: "there they are, and at this very moment they're basking in the beautiful Maui sun, their debt to society paid in full", while doctored video of them doing just that played. When the transmission is hijacked, the line is repeated, showing their real fate: dead and decayed in the game arena.
** Killian tells his bodyguard Sven to eject Captain Freedom. When Sven doesn't immediately act, Killian says "What's the matter, steroids make you deaf?". Later on, when Killian expects Sven to save him from Richards, Sven says "I got to score some steroids" and walks away, leaving him to Richards' mercy.
* ''Film/ThePrincessBride'':
-->'''Buttercup:''' Promise to return him to his ship!\\
'''Humperdinck:''' I swear it will be done.\\
'''Humperdinck:''' ''(quiet aside to Count Rugen)'' Once we're out of sight, take him back to Florin and throw him in the Pit of Despair.\\
'''Count Rugen:''' I swear it will be done.
** Also, the dialogue surrounding IAmNotLeftHanded.
* From the first ''Film/BringItOn'', after a terrible routine at Regionals, Torrence's boyfriend tries to cheer her up by telling her "You're a great cheerleader, Tor, and you're cute as hell. But maybe you're not "captain" material." Later, after Torrence found out he cheated on her, she calmly told him "You're a great cheerleader, Aaron, and you're cute as hell. But maybe you're not "boyfriend" material."
* In the beginning of ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'', Robert asks Giselle if "[this is] a habit of [hers], falling off things?" She replies "Well, there's usually someone there to catch me." Later, when positions are reversed, she asks him the same question, to which he replies "Only when you're there to catch me."
* In ''{{Duplicity}}'', when the head of Equikrom's espionage unit is telling his boss about the history of Ronny Patiz, he mentions that Ronny made some kind of lotion. The boss asks if it was a cream or a lotion. Toward the end of the film, [[spoiler:when Ray and Claire are selling Ronny's formula for a hair-growth shampoo to the Swiss, they are told, "This formula is nothing but a common skin cream. Sorry, a lotion."]]
* In ''ThePhiladelphiaStory'', Dexter tells Tracy:
-->'''Dexter:''' The fact is you'll never be a first-class human being or a first-class woman, until you've learned to have some regard for human frailty.
** Later, Tracy unwittingly echoes the line to Mike.
-->'''Tracy:''' The truth is you'll never, you can't be, a first-rate writer or a first-rate human being, until you've learned to have some small regard for human [[HeelRealization frai--]]
** Also, Tracy says the following when talking about class politics:
-->'''Tracy:''' Upper and lower my eye; I'll take the ''lower'', thanks.
*** Ironically, Dexter uses the same expression when defending the ''upper'' classes to George.
-->'''George:''' You and your whole rotten class!\\
'''Dexter:''' Oh class my ''eye''!
* In ''Film/GoldenEye'', Alec Trevelyan, during his last mission with James Bond, declared "For England!" before being seemingly killed. Later, when he revealed himself as the villain Janus, he muttered "For England" after knocking Bond unconscious. At the end of their final fight, when Bond has Trevelyan at his mercy, Trevelyan says, "For England, James?" Bond answers, "No. For me," before letting Trevelyan plunge to his death.
** Also, Xenia Onatopp tries to do this to Bond with another line that's repeated twice. When they first meet during a card game in Monte Carlo, she tells him "The pleasure is all mine." Later, after she's established herself as TheDragon and tries to kill Bond, he has a fight scene with her and makes her take him to Janus. Bond asks if she had a nice evening, and she replies, "Well, once again the pleasure was all yours". The line comes a third time later in the movie when she attacks him again, and says "This time, Mr. Bond, the pleasure will be all mine." However, this being a Film/JamesBond movie, he gives her a KarmicDeath.
* In ''Film/IronMan2'', Justin Hammer tells Ivan Vanko to not get too attached to things in reference to his bird. Vanko soon offers Hammer the same advice in reference to Hammer's drones.
** At the beginning of [[Film/IronMan1 the first film]], Tony proudly proclaims that "the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I'll start making bricks and beans for baby hospitals".

* In ''Bad Influence'' Rob Lowe's character says, "You make a very funny face when you come" to James Spader's character while [[spoiler: watching the videotape he made of Spader having sex]], much to the latter's horror. Later in the film, Spader turns this around by saying, "Has anyone ever told you you make a very funny face when you come?" while [[spoiler: holding a knife to Lowe's throat]]. It's something of a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome CMoA]] and a TakeThat for the character as well.
* Hammed up in ''{{Fallen}}'', as first and last line of the film: [[spoiler: I'm going to tell you about the time I NEARLY died.]]
* In ''Film/EverAfter'', when Jacqueline (the nicer of the two stepsisters) tries to give her mother a reality check by reminding her that "it's only a ball," Rodmilla replies coldly, "and you're only going for the food." Later in the film, when Rodmilla and Marguerite are receiving their comeuppance, Jacqueline finally gets some of her own back for all of her mother's belittling:
-->'''Rodmilla:''' Jacqueline, ''dear''. I'd hate to think that ''you'' had anything to do with this?

* The Russian film ''Adventures of Masha and Vitja'' has a scene where the kids find a house with a woman claiming to be a good witch who "likes boys and girls very much". She invites them to have a nap in her house and when she believes they are asleep, it is revealed she is a WickedWitch when she starts explaining how she will cook the kids because [[ToServeMan "I like boys and girls very much"]] For a kid-oriented film that's NightmareFuel.
* In ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'', Destro's minion Doctor Mindbender tells research subjects "This will only hurt a little. What comes next, more so" before injecting them with Destro's nanomites. At the climax of the film [[spoiler: Cobra Commander]] says the same to Destro when injecting him with a new strain of nanomites.

'''Girl #2:''' Are you ''crazy''?\\
'''Evelyn:''' Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance.
* In ''Film/TheMonsterSquad'', bullies routinely pick on Horace by calling him 'Fat Kid', to which he ineffectually protests that "My name is Horace!" Then, after he's blown away the Creature From The Black Lagoon with a shotgun in front of those same bullies, who are cowering in fear behind a window:
-->'''Bully:''' Hey, Fat Kid! Good job!\\
'''Horace:''' My ''name''... ''[[Awesome/TheMonsterSquad is Horace]]''. [DramaticGunCock]

* Early in ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'', Partridge (who feels emotion, which is illegal and chemically suppressed in the future) quotes William Yeats to Preston (who's about to kill him), including the line "Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams".

It doesn't seem to make sense, considering [=DuPont=] didn't hear Partridge use the quote, but he likely would have read any paperwork that Preston filled out, including the quote. The IronicEcho was likely a last-ditch attempt to throw Preston off and gain an upper hand in their duel. [[spoiler: It fails.]]
* In the movie ''{{Ushpizin}}'', there is "Like that?" "Only like that." Said first when the main character is telling his wife that he only wants to be with her. Later, [[spoiler: when she tells him that she's leaving so that he can find a wife who will give him children.]]
* ''Film/MaxKeeblesBigMove'' does three variations: First is when Principal Jindrake tells Keeble that he "excourages" horseplay and slacking off. Keeble later uses that exact word when realizing that the manner he decided to take care of the bullies was not the right way to do so. The second is where Keeble tells Jindrake that his suspicions of Jindrake being a criminal were actually "ground-full" and then telling him to look it up when he protested the word. Jindrake did the same thing earlier in the film with the Excourage part. The third and last part is between Jenna and Megan: During their first meeting, Jenna explains to Megan that Megan is actually sitting in her seat, complete with "CantYouReadTheSign" on the chair, and then telling her to "shoo-shoo!" Megan then tells Jenna those exact same words when Max explains that he's seeing someone (Megan) when refusing Jenna's invitation.

(Dean [[BatmanGambit is aiming]] for an EnemyMine situation there)

Izzie reveals it's her crush's favorite game, and she's trying to get good at it, so she'll have something in common with him. Rosie says, "Sounds like a firm basis for a relationship." Later on, Rosie's [[MayDecemberRomance much younger date]] arrives at their house, and while looking around, discovers a bottle of medication, and that he takes the same kind. Izzie repeats "Sounds like a firm basis for a relationship."
* While not a straight example, in the 80's classic ''Film/RoadHouse'', in one scene, CorruptHick Brad Wesley has his goons destroy a car dealers lot as punishment for the dealer thinking about standing up to him and reminds him "This is my town. Don't you forget it." Near the end of the movie, after Dalton assaults Wesley's compound, Wesley is shot by several denizens who's property he destroyed; Frank Tilghman, the owner of the Double Deuce bar then says "This is our town. Don't you forget it," before firing the shot that kills him.

* "Someone stole that man's face" from ''Film/MysteryTeam''. Originally said to convey disgust at an image by one character; later said to describe [[spoiler: what the characters did to the ''BigBad'']]. Played very much for laughs.
* In the Schwarzenegger movie ''Film/RawDeal'', Kaminsky was forced to resign from the FBI after beating the shit out of a guy who had murdered a little girl. The district attorney's words to Kaminsky were "Resign or be prosecuted." Near the end of the movie, after Kaminsky has taken out the mob boss villain and his men, he finds the district attorney, who it turns out was on the boss's payroll.

Later, when Neo surrenders to Smith in order to effectively defeat him (long story short, Neo has to merge with Smith to eliminate him while connected to the source), Neo says "You were right, Smith. You were right all along. It was inevitable."
** Something the Oracle said to Neo:
--> "You became the one because you chose to."
*** In ''Revolutions'' after Smith's "Why Mr. Anderson" speech
--> '''Smith:''' "...why, Mr. Anderson, do you persist?!"
--> '''Neo:''' "Because I choose to."

I don't even count ... right? I could disappear forever and it wouldn't make any difference. I might as well not even exist at this school, remember?"
