5A StockPhrase involving Bob leaving to some place. What's next is that Alice said something really bad about him. Although he doesn't fight back, he just said the phrase. This is sometimes followed by Alice saying "[[ExactlyWhatIMeantToSay You were supposed to]]," if she expected him to hear what she said. ImStandingRightHere is similar in spirit. This and BorrowedCatchphrase form HeyThatsMyLine. There are 5 variations (because the character responsible for saying the sentence usually has 5 senses) but only 2 are often used.

However, Calculus is also hard of hearing, and very frequently misinterprets what other people say, so it's anyone's guess as to whether or not he actually ''did'' hear it.
