See You in Hell

Yotsuba wishes you a pleasant journey.^note In case you can't tell, that's just a water gun.

"See me in hell cashing in on that see-you-in-hell thing!"

— Aesop Rock, "Happy Pillz (feat. Murs)"

A common piece of dialogue just before dying, or more commonly, just before attempting to kill someone (or, in a combination of the two, in a situation where you expect to die and just want them to die too). Usually provokes a creative response, such as: "No thanks, already been there," (sometimes really) "It wouldn't be Hell without you," "Sounds better than being here with you," and so on.

Basically a We Will Meet Again that extends beyond the grave and Hell.

Can be played for Tragedy seeing how all the speakers of this line apparently fully expect to end up in a place of eternal torment when they die, though other times it can suggest that the character is a Card-Carrying Villain.

A subtrope of the Pre-Mortem One-Liner. Compare Give My Regards in the Next World and Welcome to Hell, the latter of which is (usually) less literal. Also compare I'm Going to Hell for This, where a character admits their actions will send them to Hell, and Dying Declaration of Hate. Contrast You Are Worth Hell.

As this can sometimes be a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Examples:

Anime and Manga

• Seen in Fullmetal Alchemist with Greed's death.
  • Also, one of the most ironic versions of this trope comes into play during King Bradley's fight with Greed and Fu. After getting fatally wounded by Bradley, Fu, quite aware that he's beyond saving, rushes to Bradley to suicide bomb him as a Last Stand. But right before anything else happens, Bradley, without a second's hesitation, raises his sword and cuts the fuses off from the dynamite strapped to Fu's waist, and injuring Fu even further. So, even if Fu was able to be saved, he's not now.
    Fu: I'm taking you straight to Hell with me, Bradley!! YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAR--
    Cue Loud Slash.
  • Subverted almost immediately by Buccaneer, who stabbed Bradley through Fu, ensuring that his sacrifice was not in vain, and dealt the critical blow that would eventually be Bradley's downfall. Buccaneer knows he won't survive the ordeal either, due to Lodged-Blade Recycling.
    Buccaneer: Old man... We'll drag him to hell together.
    Fu: Yes... Thank you...
• Ricardo, the Badass Normal from El Cazador de la Bruja, sports an extended version: "Let's have a drink in hell, amigo!"
• The Death Note episode "Execution" uses the phrase, at least in the English dub: "Light...from one murderer to another...I'll see you in Hell."
  • In the English translation of the manga by Viz, he says, "Light, we're both murderers. We'll see each other again in hell."
• In the final episode of F-Zero: GP Legend, on the brink of their inevitable fate, the badass Captain Falcon boldly claims that he and Black Shadow are both destined for Hell, followed by Falcon delivering a fatal punch to him, which is a part of his immediately-following Heroic Sacrifice.
• Code Geass:
  • Unutterably badass Heroic Sacrifice variant from Lelouch as he attempts to seal himself in C's World with his father, Emperor Charles...
  Lelouch: Now, let us suffer together... repenting together for all eternity!
  • A variation occurs earlier in the series — C.C. combines this trope with Aw Look She Really Does Love Him, Let Them Die Happy, Love Confession, Mercy Kill and promised Together in Death all at the same time before putting a gun to Mao's jugular and pulling the trigger:
  C.C.: I did love you, Mao. I want you to go and wait for me... in C's World.
  • Kallen Kozuki bids the despicable Luciano Bradley such in the English Dub as she brutally destroys him and his Percival with her Guren's Radiant Wave Surger. In the original Japanese dialogue, she just mutters, "Goodbye." The Dub, however, before she fries the Percival?
  Kallen: Send a postcard.
• Dragon Ball:
  • Vegeta, in the uncut redub of Dragon Ball Z, says this on a few occasions. Usually when he's about to (or seems to) kill an enemy. "See you in hell, Kui." and "See you in hell, Recoome!!" are a few examples.
    • Another Vegeta example in the original Ocean Group dub, when Vegeta kills Nappa. Notable in that it's this despite Never Say "Die" being in full effect.
      Vegeta: Maybe you won't be such a disappointment... in the next dimension!
  • Goku, of all people, shouts this at Freeza in Dragon Ball Z Kai.
  • A slightly Bowdlerised meta parody occurs in the (now cut) Dragon Ball Z Kai Cell Games Reenactment:
    Fake Mr. Satan: I shall now send you... TO THE NEXT DIMENSION!
    Fake Cell: *girly shriek*
    Fake Mr. Satan: SEE! YOU! IN! HFIL!
  • In Dragon Ball Super Chapter 61, Moro, seemingly about to meet his end from Vegeta's new powers, asks him if he believes that he isn't bound for hell. Vegeta responds that he knows he's going to hell, and when he gets there, he'll be sure to say hello to Moro.
    • This moment came across a bit strange to many fans, who considered it incongruous to Vegeta's character development throughout the franchise. Though it's entirely plausible that Vegeta would believe that he'd previously done so much evil that he's still going to hell regardless of how much he's changed.
• The final words of Yukio Washimine in Black Lagoon: "Please tell Balalaika that I will be expecting her where she will no doubt follow me."
  • Balalaika herself says this to a Yakuza boss before killing him.
  Balalaika:I'm only interested in how much I can dance in the pit of hell when it's all over. See you there some day. [Neck Snap]
• Naruto:
  • When Zabuza is killing Gato, Gato suggests that he should go join Haku by himself, Zabuza says he is going to hell with Gato and will show that he will become "a real demon" in hell. Despite this, after the battle, with his dying breaths, he hopes to go to the same place as Haku in the afterlife. (Later it's shown that they did because the setting has Only One Afterlife.)
  • In a filler episode, Hinata, planning to push her opponent over a cliff and force him to bury himself alive in iron sand with his magnetic ability, says "The only ones going to hell are you and me!" in response to him telling her that she would join Naruto in hell. The dub has her saying that they will go to the "Spirit World".
  • Kiba says something on the same lines during his battle with Ukon/Sakon.
• In Get Backers, Emishi says this to Shido immediately before unleashing a firestorm attack intended to kill them both.
• Hellsing has an odd example: When Alexander Anderson lies dying after his final fight with Alucard, Alucard fondly tells him he'll see him in Hell. Anderson retorts that Alucard (who'd been displaying Death Seeker characteristics during the battle) is a pathetic creature who deserves to live forever. Some fans have interpreted the line as affectionate.
• In One Piece, as the battle between Luffy and Don Krieg gets serious, the two trade barbs around this trope. It basically has Krieg attacking Luffy and telling him to go to Hell, then Luffy counters and replies, "You first!"
• In Skyhigh, the murdered gold digger's body is left under the hotel room's bed, and when a couple have sex on top of the bed she kills them and is damned for killing someone other than her murderer. Izuko tells her that she'll be eternally lonely there, like Izuko is, and the woman grins and tells her, "See you there."
• Yotsuba from Yotsuba&! copies the line from a gangster movie her Dad let her watch.
• Godchild includes a peculiar inversion, in which the phrase (or an approximation of it) is used as touching and possibly, depending upon the reader's view, romantic. Riff's promise to Cain is that he will 'accompany him to Hell', as Cain is convinced he's going there. When Riff has his Face–Heel Turn, the betrayal is sealed by him telling Cain to 'go to Hell on his own'.
• In one translation of Bleach, Yammy tells Loly "See ya in hell" before preparing to attack her.
• In Full Metal Panic!, Gauron says numerous versions of this phrase to Sousuke (especially during times when it looks like he's winning). And pretty much every single time, Sousuke beats the crap out of him and blasts him away. Undoubtedly, Gauron really does want to go to Hell and spend eternity there with Sousuke (considering how many times he says this and keeps trying to do a double-suicide with the boy)... but the way he phrases it, it certainly makes for great motivation for Sousuke to make sure it never happens.
• In Umineko: When They Cry, Ange says this in Gratuitous English before shooting Eva-Beatrice in Eva's form. Or something. "Have a nice dream. See you in Hell. Cool."
• Said by Koichiro Kase in Knight Hunters when Ken assassinates him. Instead of being creative or snarky, Ken just answers, "This place is hell, too."
• From one hero to another, before a suicide mission, a subversion from Plastic Little: "When we storm the gates of Hell, I'll take point."
• Ninja Scroll:
  • Jubei says some variation of this line to Gemma several times within the same scene:
  Jubei: If you so want the company of devils, you'd better hurry back to hell, Gemma.
  
  Jubei: Gemma, where are you hiding? When I die, I'll take you to Hell with me.
  
  Jubei: Burn in your golden HELL!
  • Also, Tessai delivers the following line to Jubei before punching him hard enough to break the stone pillar to his back:
  Tessai: Not quite the right direction. The road to Hell is... RIGHT HERE.
• In chapter 55 of Franken Fran, Kuhou, of all people, says this. Right before she could kill Matsumae, she is shot she falls down the building, but not before uttering the line. She is saved, but still.
• Vampire Hunter D. In the 1985 movie, when Rei Ginsei paralyzes D with the vampire-affecting candle D tells Ginsei "I'll see you in Hell".
• Legend of the Galactic Heroes provides an exchange of these during the Battle of Vermilion. Imperial vice-admiral Carnap calls for reinforcements to his commander Reinhard von Lohengramm, but Reinhard has no reserves available anymore and orders him to stay there and die, and if he has anything more to tell him he can do it in Valhalla. And upon receiving this answer, Carnap declares: "Die, he says? Fine, I will! If I die, I'll reach Valhalla first, and you'll be the one running errands for me, Reinhard von Lohengramm!"
• Jormungand: A mook with an anti-tank launcher is about to blow up Koko.
  "Time to go to hell. Save us a spot, gun girl."
• In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, even though he's getting his ass handed to him by Yoshikage Kira, Koichi Hirose manages to steal the killer's wallet and learn his name. Knowing he's about to die anyway, he decides to taunt Kira by telling him that a simple high schooler had managed to discover his identity, ultimately culminating in this trope.
  Koichi: You're a complete idiot! I'll be looking forward to seeing you in the next world!

Comic Books

• Superman:
  • In Public Enemies (2004):
    Nightwing: Go to hell!
    Lex Luthor: I've been. It's overrated.
  • In Supergirl storyline Death & the Family, Inspector Henderson angrily suggests the spirits of the McDougal Clan to go back to Hell before hurting them by stabbing one of their heirlooms.
    Inspector Henderson: Your "test" took one of my friends, you Irish demons. I'm not going to let you take another one. Go back to whatever Hell you crawled out of.
• Arkham Asylum: Living Hell: The demon Etrigan, impressed at how cleverly the villain Great White Shark has wheeled and dealed for himself in both Arkham and his future afterlife down below, smiles and says, "Guile and style. You'll do well. Keep in touch, I'll see you in hell."
• In Preacher: The Saint of Killers, to the dying Big Bad — whom he came back from HELL to kill. "There ain't worse than me in all of Hell. [as he shoots] Go an' look."
• Knightfall: Right before Bane breaks him, Batman utters "...go back to hell..."
• These are The Joker's last words in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, right before he commits suicide in such a way that it looks like Batman killed him. Michael Emerson's weakened Joker voice in its Animated Adaptation makes this line all the more chilling and scarier. Even one of the songs in its movie soundtrack is aptly named "See You... in Hell".
• Hellboy Volume 1:
  Hellboy: Go... to... hell...
  Rasputin: No need, creature. Hell is coming here!!
• Mystique says a very interesting variation in her own limited series. To fight a small army of well-armed soldiers, she uses her powers in an admittedly dangerous way. (She sort of splits her head in two, forming two heads... It's kind of hard to describe.) After defeating most of the soldiers, the final one is horrified and calls her a demon. She replies by pointing her gun at him and saying, "Sure I am. See you in my hometown," right before letting him have it.
• Something like this happens during the Spider-Man crossover Maximum Carnage. Early in the series, Dagger is believed to have been killed, murdered by the sociopath Shriek. In a later episode, Shriek makes a threat like this to Cloak, after implying that Dagger is already there. However, she gets this from a very angry Cloak after her attempt to kill him misses:
  Cloak: If there is an afterlife, rest assured that Dagger is with God now. However, if it's the other place you're interested in...

Note that this is a subversion because his attempt "misses" too.

• A member of the "Holocaust Squad" in Judge Dredd uses this as a reply to be wished good luck by a teammate when they are both jumping into molten lava to try averting a volcanic catastrophe in Mega-City One.
• In Cerebus the Aardvark, when President Weisshaupt is dying and fails to tell Cerebus who the other two aardvarks in Estarcion are:
  Cerebus: Go to HELL!
  Weisshaupt: I shall, Great Cerebus. I shall.
• The Smurfs:
  • In the comic book story "The Egg And The Smurfs", a Smurf gets so fed up with another Smurf being so indecisive about what to wish for with the magic egg that he tells the other Smurf "to the devil with you" while accidentally striking the egg...and that Smurf ends up meeting the devil. By the end of the story, however, when Papa Smurf wishes everything to return to normal, that Smurf returns with a pitchfork in hand.
  • In "Sagratamabarb", Gargamel tries to get rid of his titular cousin by saying, "see if the devil has any room for you." A moment later, Gargamel's cousin returns with a couple of demons as witness that the devil doesn't have any room for him.
  • In another comic book story, a Smurf makes a wish with a magic bird that he wants Gargamel to go to hell, and POOF! that's where he went.

• In the Hercules graphic novel "Full Circle", the eponymous hero is engaged in one on one combat with Arimathes, a tyrant who, egged on and manipulated by his scheming and vengeful mother, has used his tremendous physical capabilities and army to conquer the galaxy. In the midst of their battle, the Emperor, who also happens to be Hercules' bastard son, tells the Prince of Power to 'Go to Hell'. The Greek god retorts with "What know thee of Hades? I have been there and fought my way out! But thou dost live in a private hell, designed by that lying wench thou calls...'Mother'!"
• Fury: My War Gone By has Fury's last meeting with his old enemy, Letrong Giap, at the Vietnam War Memorial.
  Giap: Oh, how we abuse our warriors' faith. We send them to fight for unspeakable things. *Offers his hand* We are both bound for hell, Colonel Fury. But I hope you find a comfortable place to wait.
  * Fury stares in silence for a long moment, then shakes his hand*

Comic Strips

• Inverted in one Far Side comic. A salesman comes to the front desk of Hell, and the secretary phones Satan:
  "Sir? It's another salesman. Shall I send him in or tell him to go to Heaven?"

Fan Works

• A variation appears in a Batman/The Crow/The Shadow crossover fanfic this submitter found once. The Joker shoots Eric Draven in the face, then says, "I bet he never danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight." (A reference to the 1989 Batman movie.) Draven nonchalantly gets up, dusts himself off, and responds, "Actually, I have. Satan does a pretty mean two-step."
  How's Alec Baldwin's health these days?
• In the My-HiME/Hell Girl fic, The Grinning Snake, Konoka, the daughter of one of the people from the First District whom Shizuru killed, says "Shizuru Fujino…I'll see you in Hell!" when preparing to send Shizuru to Hell after seeing that she has no remorse. Since the contract indicates that Konoka will also go to Hell after she dies, Konoka means this literally.
• In the Crack Fic Voyager Chicks Behind Forcefields Captain Janeway is about to kill her Chief Engineer, B'Elanna Torres.
  B'ELANNA: You petaQ! I hope you rot in Gre'thor!

• This is the last thing Shinzaemon says to Hanbei in 13 Assassins.
• Uttered in 300. Upon meeting an approaching army of a million, Spartan King Leonidas tells his warriors that "tonight, we dine in Hell!" This is closely based on a quote that Plutarch (Morlia, circa 100 CE) attributes to Leonidas: "Breakfast well, for we may today dine among ghosts," making this Older Than Feudalism.
• Lord John Whorfin's uttering of that line, from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.
• Subverted in The Batman (2022). The Riddler sends taunting greeting cards to the title character. Then a bomb targets Bruce Wayne directly, and the card says "See you in Hell," implying the Riddler has worked out Batman's Secret Identity. Turns out he doesn't know Batman and Bruce are the same; instead, the Riddler thinks that Batman agrees with his tactics, and the "Hell" is referring to them meeting in Arkham Asylum, where Batman will be safe from the final part of his Evil Plan.
• A weird variation of this occurs in Batman Returns when the Penguin attempts to kill Catwoman by hanging her with a noose on the end of his helicopter-umbrella (she survives, at the cost of one of her nine lives). He doesn't wish for her to suffer Hell, but:
  Penguin: Goodbye, my unintended... Go to Heaven...

• Good Burger: "All right, dude, see ya there!"
• In Halloween: Resurrection, Laurie says this to her brother Michael before falling to her death.

• Little Nicky:
  • Used between two sons of the Devil. When Adrian and Valerie end up in front of a subway train, Nicky jumps onto the tracks, throws Valerie out of the way, and holds Adrian in front of it, expecting them both to go to Hell (which isn't a problem for either of them and will restore their dad's health). Unfortunately, only Adrian goes to Hell — dying to protect his love interest sends Nicky to Heaven.
  • A more subtle example appears earlier where a con man is forced to give up Nicky's flask meant to imprison his brothers and drives off Valerie for being the one to threaten to bring the police over. Nicky remarks, "I'll see you in a few years."

• Outpost: Rise of the Spetsnaz. An SS officer tackles Russian commando Fyodor.
  SS: Not so tough now, you Bolshevik bastard! Where do you think you're going?
  Fyodor: We'll figure it out together. (stabs him)
  • In a heroic version, Fyodor to his commander, Dolokhov.
  "I would have followed you through the gates of Hell. But now, you follow me!"
• In Point Break (1991), the character Roach yells a variant of this trope to Johnny Utah. After taking a gunshot to the gut, he cocks his head back, squints his eyes, and says "See you in hell, Johnny!" before jumping from a plane.
• In The Prophecy Katherine tells Gabriel to "Go to hell." He corrects her; "Heaven, darling. Heaven. At least get the zip code right."
• A rare friendly example of this is seen in Punisher: War Zone when The Punisher finds a badly wounded Carlos. It ends up being an unusually touching scene, considering the movie.
  Carlos: I'll see you in hell, Frank.
  Punisher: If I see you anywhere near hell, I'll kick your ass out.
• Used a few times in Purgatory. An outlaw says "We've got a long ride ahead of us. Those who can keep up with me, I'll see you in Chihuahua. The rest of you, I'll see you in hell." As it turns out, though, it is the ones who keep up with him who end up going with him into Hell.
• The last words of Richard, and of the entire film, in an adaption of Shakespeare's Richard III set in an alternate World War Two-style setting: "Let's do it Pell mell! If not in heaven, then Hand in Hand to Hell!"
  • The dialogue was transposed and slightly altered from a speech Richard gave in the original play, just before the final battle:
    "Let not our babbling dreams affright our souls:
    Conscience is but a word that cowards use,
    Devised at first to keep the strong in awe:
    Our strong arms be our conscience, swords our law.
    March on, join bravely, let us to't pell-mell
    If not to heaven, then hand in hand to hell."
• Said by Tex (while giving a thumbs up) before he takes his own life in Robot Jox.

• Shout at the Devil (1976). Dying O'Flynn says a variation of this to the German Big Bad, moments before the bomb he placed in the battleship's magazine explodes.
  O'Flynn: See you in a minute, Fleischer. We'll shout at the Devil together.
• Sleepers. Two child abuse victims confront the guard who molested them years before in a youth detention home. Unfortunately for him, they are now sociopathic criminals who have no problem shooting a man in public.
  Nokes: You two motherfuckers are going to burn in Hell. You're going to burn in Hell...
  John: Yeah, after you. [shoots him]
• The protagonist's boss in Spawn (1997) utters the line (together with a salute) right before he sets him on fire and leaves him to die in the middle of an exploding chemical plant. Justified by the fact that he was killing him as part of a Deal with the Devil, making the phrase something other than a figure of speech.
• Parodied by Admilar (sic) Pirk in Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning: See you in Reykjavik!
• A small variant is spoken by Loki in Thor: The Dark World when he defeats Kurse after being seemingly fatally wounded.

Literature

• At the end of the Alistair MacLean novel Fear is the Key the protagonist mentions how the Professional Killer he'd helped convict spent the entire trial just staring at him as if to say, "Eternity is a long time, but I'll be waiting."
• Pretty much the last thing that Jimmy the Hand says to his brother-in-law William in the Serpentwar Saga is "See you in Darkmoor or see you in Hell". Neither makes it out of Krondor alive. Oddly, the religion of that universe states that most people don't go to Heaven or Hell, they just reincarnate.
• In The Apocalypse Troll this is Captain Onslow's last words, shouted over a static-filled transmission to Ludmilla as his ship rams the enemy dreadnaught.
• In one of The Savannah Reid Mysteries, one character says to another: "We're both dead. But you're goin' to get to hell first, buddy... just a few seconds before me."
• A heartbreaking, though non-fatal one occurs in The English Monster by Lloyd Shepherd. Billy Ablass, an Englishman made immortal in 1564, falls in with the pirate Henry Morgan and uses a little girl as a human shield during the infamous attack on Portobelo. In his old age, Morgan says to Ablass, "That child awaits us both at the gates of Hell, quartermaster."
• Played for laughs in Damned by Chuck Palahniuk. Teenagers who've gone to hell (it's not as bad as it sounds) get to return to Earth for a few hours on Hallowe'en to go trick-or-treating. When they split up to go their separate rounds, they casually go "OK. See you in hell!"
• Fire & Blood tells of the Shepherd—a one-handed, insane prophet who foments a deadly riot in King's Landing during the Dance of the Dragons and sends thousands to their deaths in storming the Dragonpit to kill the dragons inside. When he is finally caught by Lord Borros Baratheon, he tells him "We shall meet in hell before this year is done"—and when he is brought to trial before King Aegon II, he repeats the same curse before the enraged king orders his tongue torn out and sentences him to death. Both lord and king do indeed end up dying soon after—Lord Baratheon's head is stoved in by a morning star, and King Aegon is poisoned by members of his own council.
• Julian Comstock: A Story of 22nd-Century America. Julian does this as a Stealth Insult when he's upbraided by the Dominion Officer for preaching heresy to the other soldiers.
  Major Lampret: Innocent men must not be sent into battle with their immortal souls at risk, just because Julian Commongold is bound and determined to go to Hell.
  Julian: I understand, sir. And I expect I’ll see you there. (a pause) In battle, I mean, of course.
• In Star Trek: Vanguard, Klingon Captain Brakk says the equivalent to a rival Captain, Kutal.

• At the end of The Six Sacred Stones by Matthew Reilly, The Mole is about to drop the MacGuffin needed to save the world into a bottomless pit. He yells this line just before the Big Damn Heroes moment.

• In The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril, by Paul Malmont, H. P. Lovecraft is confronted by an enemy from his past who strangles him on his deathbed, promising to "hunt you down in hell".
• In the Night Lords trilogy shortly before the climax of Void Stalker, Talos says this to his oldest friend Xarl just after the latter's Viking funeral.
  • This might need a bit of context. Because the Night Lords historically pursued cruel and ruthless warfare because it was just the sort of enforcer that the Imperium needed but no one else was willing to resort to, they have developed a culture of sadism and terror that has haunted them throughout their history. That said, this phrase was said without any antagonism and as an honest assessment of their lives, and also a twisted moment of shared brotherhood between Night Lords.
• In the Christ Clone Trilogy, The Antichrist Christopher Goodman tells Decker Hawthorne "see you in Hell" after he lops off Decker's head with a sword.
• When his servant Sam blackmails him in The French Lieutenant's Woman, Charles Smithson yells at him, "Go to the devil!" Sam calmly replies, "No sir. I wouldn't want to go nowhere that I might meet a friend of yours."
• Black House: Wanda Kinderling (a woman whose husband, Thornberg, went to prison for murder thanks to protagonist Jack Sawyer) shouts these words after she guns down Sawyer, and just before she attempts to take her own life. That last bit fails however when she realizes she emptied the gun already.

Live-Action TV

• Subverted in 30 Rock - after Kenneth is fired from the page program, he crashed a function and goes on the nicest drunken rant ever, telling everyone how much he appreciated his job and how much they mean to him. He finishes: "So kiss my face!! I'll see you all in Heaven!!!"

  This is Archie Bunker talking' to ya from the grave! Wish you were here!
• In the finale of Season 1 of Altered Carbon, Poe defiantly says this to Leung as he destabilizes his nanobot-body, in keeping with his being themed after the horror novelist of the same name. He gets better by Season 2, though. Mostly.

  Cupid: I'd say enjoy the afterlife, but we both know that's just eternal nothingness.
• By all appearances, this is the favorite phrase of Babylon 5's Captain Sheridan.
  • Aptly retorted once by the Vorlons' Inquisitor:
    Inquisitor: This is hell, captain. And you are the chief damned soul.

• Said by Blake himself in Blake's 7 episode "Countdown", to Provine—who, moments previously, told Blake to Go to Hell.
• Repeatedly Played for Laughs in the Brooklyn Nine-Nine, episode "Windbreaker City". Constantly referencing Boyle's beloved poodle Molly, telling the federal agents in the paintball exercise, "When you get to hell, say hi to Molly", and explaining to Boyle that Molly's in hell "because it's cooler than heaven".

      Buffy: (to the Master) You're that amped about Hell? Go there.
    • Unusually, Spike addresses someone absent when he tries to throw himself on a stake:

    • When Spike gets a soul he's driven insane by the memories of the countless people he's tortured and murdered over the years.
      "And now everybody's in here, talking. [snip] They all just tell me go... go... to Hell."

      Gunn: We die horribly and painfully, you go to Hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.
• Burn Notice:
  Rincon: Go to Hell.
  Michael Westen: Come with me!
  • Made all the more epic by the fact that Michael was masquerading as Lou, and pulling off a very convincing act as the Devil.
  • From the pilot:
  Madeline: You know, you missed your father's funeral...by eight years.
  Michael: Well, the last thing he ever told me was, "I'll see you in Hell, boy!" So I figured we had something on the books.
• Carnivàle:
  Sophie: Go to Hell.
  Brother Justin: Go. Why? I plan on bringing it here!
• Charmed:
  • Cole, in response to a cowboy using the trope, says "Been there, done that."
  • The exchange of Prue crying "Go to hell!", with a warlock responding, "I'd love to, dear. Miss it terribly." Something like that seems to be the default warlock/demon response whenever anyone tells them to go to hell. You'd think sooner or later the witches would learn to stop doing it.
• The Colbert Report:
  • Each "Cheating Death" segment ends with the phrase "This is Stephen Colbert, and I'll see you in health!" Too bad the Closed Captioning is programmed wrong...
  • Also to his brother: "COL-bert or Col-BARE?" "COL-bert." "I'll see you in hell."
• Parodied in Community:
  Jeff: Greendale, it's been a pleasure fighting with you. Some of us won't make it. But there is a place where we will all see each other again, and that place is Denny's.
  Leonard: Which Denny's?
  Jeff: We'll figure it out later, Leonard.
  Leonard: The one near the fifteen exit? I'm banned from there.
  Jeff: Well then I guess I'll see you in Hell.

• In season three of The Good Place, Eleanor says this after she finds out that she, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason are all doomed to go to the Bad Place regardless of what they do. As she walks out she pauses to note that while she says this a lot this time it's literally true.

• Mystery Science Theater 3000: Oh, you never want to see a spring again, eh? Coily the Spring Sprite will make sure you get that wish... in HELL!

• Spoofed in a Saturday Night Live skit where Jim Carrey's businessman uses this phrase so often in his dealings on the phone, etc. that it eventually becomes a Verbal Tic — he says it to everyone, for any reason. The skit ends with them all, indeed, in Hell!
• In Scrubs, Dr. Kelso is telling Jordan why he thinks it's a bad idea to have Dr. Cox as Chief of Residents, to which Jordan pretends to yawn over. After this doesn't seem to have any effect and he keeps talking, Jordan pointedly says "Yawn. You see, I say yawn because when I actually yawn, you don't get it." Dr. Kelso, grimacing after her; "See you in hell."
• Stargate:
  • A variant from Stargate SG-1: Stargate: The Ark of Truth occurs when General Landry replies to a Prior who's just given him a fire and brimstone speech.

  • Also done in the Pilot of Stargate Atlantis with Col. Sumner and the Wraith Keeper.

    Kang: We Klingons have no devil, Kirk. But we understand the habits of yours.
  • Star Trek: The Next Generation reveals that Klingon religion does in fact include equivalents to Hell (Gre'thor) and the devil (Fek'lhr), making Kang's reaction somewhat odd. Both get another mention in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager.
  • On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Worf explains that ancient warriors killed all the Klingon gods, which may explain why the Klingons have no devil.
  • In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Coda", the Monster of the Week tries to convince Janeway that she's dying and he's the spirit of her father leading her to the afterlife.

Chillingly, the alien points out that Janeway will die one day, "and you will nourish me for a long, long time."
  • In Star Trek: Enterprise, Duras (an ancestor of the petaQ' from Star Trek: The Next Generation) attacks Enterprise while demanding Archer's surrender.

  • And again in Season 3's "Time Is On My Side", when Bela is about to be killed and dragged down to hell by hellhounds. Dean says, "I'll see you in Hell" and since Dean is dragged off by hellhounds himself in the following episode, that may well have happened. It's Book Ends for a scene at the start of the episode when Sam and Dean exorcise a demon who knows Dean's only got three weeks before his Deal with the Devil comes due.
    Demon: Go ahead. Send me back to Hell. Because when you do I'll be waiting for ya. Got a few pals who are dying for a meet-and-greet with Dean Winchester.

Tabletop Games

• The fan-made Dungeons & Dragons class 'Wandering Swordsman', has one of the best-named skills ever in his setup: "I'll Meet You At The Gates Of Hell". It basically allows him to direct a sword-strike (with some nice bonuses added) at whoever brings him below 0 HP (Keeping in mind that D&D characters don't 'die' 'till they hit -10 HP and that the Wandering Swordsman also has a feat that allows him to keep fighting after hitting 0 HP, causing him to simply collapse when the battle is over.)
• In the game Last Night on Earth, this is an actual card you can play. If your character is in a building overrun with zombies and has the means to cause an explosion, they can make a Heroic Sacrifice and take every zombie in a certain radius with you.

Then Hamlet stops and considers that, if Claudius dies while repenting, he might not go to Hell but to Heaven. So he decides to hold off his revenge until he can be sure that Claudius is properly damned. The irony is that after Hamlet departs, Claudius reveals that he couldn't focus on his prayers and wasn't able to repent, so Hamlet could have killed him then and saved a lot of bother.
• In Heathers, during The Eleven O'Clock Number, "Dead Girl Walking (Reprise):"
  Veronica: Heads up, J.D., I'm a dead girl walking!

  Hyde: I'll see you there, Jekyll!

  • Inverted in a very early (before the Xbox the game ended up on had even come out) Halo: Combat Evolved trailer, where a Private Mendez is about to be killed by one of the Covenant.
    Covenant: Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instruments.
    Mendez: Go to hell...
  • An interesting take is made in Halo: Reach, when Sgt. Buck, after you safely see his Falcon across the city, tells you "Thanks for the assist, Spartan. I'll see you in Hell." This is said with a friendly intonation, as if akin to "I'll see you back at your place." This isn't too surprising since Sgt. Buck is an ODST "Helljumper" of the 105th, an elite drop trooper division with a motto to match ('Feet First Into Hell').

  • Gets a variation in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years from Golbez to Cagnazzo; odder still, it's intended to be comforting. "Sleep in peace... for I, too, may join you in your hell someday."
  • If your party leader is Lightning during the final battle with Orphan in Final Fantasy XIII, she will blatantly tell him to "find your own road to hell" at the start of the battle.

  • Rohan Krause from Order of Shadows gives a variation of the trope as his last words.
    Krause: I will greet your parents in the underworld. It's certain we will see you soon.
• Used entirely straight — and in a perfectly even tone — at the end of Cyberia, as you blast a stream of plasma fire into your Bad Boss's space-station office. It's the last thing he says as the inferno engulfs him... and he nearly gets his wish, as the resulting chain-reaction blows up the entire station, sending you back to Earth at an entirely unhealthy velocity...

• Played with in Unreal II: The Awakening. There's a bit where you talk to Ne'Ban, who is the pilot of your ship and doesn't speak English very well. He tells you he is on a course for Hell because your mission officer told him to go there. Then you go and talk to the mission officer, who casually tells you that your next mission is on a moon literally named Hell. This also leads up to a subversion during the mission there, where the mission officer tells you, "Go to Hell." Your character replies, "Already there, Toots."
• Tales of Vesperia uses this phrase a couple times. The first time is by Barbos, directed towards Yuri during his Final Speech, right before he throws himself down to his death.

• Guilty Gear:
  Testament: (to Potemkin) As I said, now you can see your comrades... in hell.

  • In the official translation, this is changed to him basically saying this to himself:

  "May there be... a hell... for you... a Tartarus... bleak, unending!"
  • In the Dead Money DLC, Father Elijah also has some spiteful parting words to you if he is trapped in the Sierra Madre vault at the end. Rather appropriate, considering where you've trapped him.

  Franklin: Say hello to Leonora, motherfucker!
• Spoofed in Telepath Tactics. Gunther tries to do this with his Last Words in his boss battle, but it's undermined by his immediate discovery that Emma captured him alive. His actual Last Words if he dies in the final battle are much different and less melodramatic.
• In the Japanese version of Star Fox 64, Pigma Dengar tells Fox, "Your daddy's waitin' for ya in hell!" In the English version, this was bowdlerized to "Daddy screamed REAL good before he died!", which is arguably worse as it makes Pigma seem extra sadistic.

Webcomics

  Grey Fox: keep hell warm for me, liquid snake. farewell.
• Parodied in the first season of Ansem Retort:
  Matt: [as Marluxia slices him in half] I give this death a 9 out of 10.
  Marluxia: Thanks Matt. See you in hell.
  Matt: You too!
  • Granted, Matt came back to life to referee the murder-off, so subverted, as well.
• While fighting a demonic Undead Child, Dr. McNinja gives Gordito a lesson in the art of the Pre-Mortem One-Liner:
  Gordito: Uh... Uh... Die!
  Dr. McNinja: No, no, no. "Die"? Gordito, it's a ghost. It's already dead. That's not what you say. We are banishing a malevolent spirit from the world of the living and sending it to the afterlife. This is what we say.
  * prepares a cross-shaped shuriken*
  Dr. McNinja: Go to hell.
• Used by Koji in Mitadake Saga.
• In Krakow, the mighty Polish warrior utters the phrase "When you get to hell, tell 'em Grampa sent you." Cut to Tom and Hannah, asking the former's grandfather, why he would refer to himself as 'Grampa' in 1939.
• In the webcomic the outer circle, there's a story arc where Peekaboo goes to hell for a vacation. Apparently there, phrases like 'see you in hell' and 'to hell with you' are pleasantries. (Then again, Peek is an idiot.)
  Peekaboo: I want to get one of those first-degree lava burn tans while I'm there.

• Trevor (2020): Dr. Maddison says the trope name almost exactly word-for-word before he lunges towards Colin in a fit of misplaced rage, while them and Purdy are desperately trying to hide from Trevor, who is lurking just outside a nearby window, looking and listening for signs of people in the room.
  Dr. Maddison: "I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL"
• I'm the Grim Reaper: Scarlet usually says something along these lines before killing a sinner. She means it quite literally; after killing one, she has to go back to hell to see how Satan punishes them.

  Narrator: "Later, in hell...!"
  Pendergrast: "Wolthorp!"
  Wolthorp: "Pendergrast!"

    Trunks: I hope you're ready to meet your maker... in hell! ...because I'm pretty sure that's where Dr. Gero is.
• In DEATH BATTLE!, this has happened twice so far:
  • "Nightwing vs. Daredevil", in the last portion of the fight, Daredevil has Nightwing pinned down as is about to move in for the kill when the latter activates his ultrasonic Wing-Dings, disorienting Matt and allowing Dick to snap his neck with an electrified punch to the jaw. When Murdock's body hits the ground, Grayson departs using the trope name as a Bond One-Liner.
  • The second comes from "Cable vs. Booster Gold", in the fight's final moments. Booster Gold has Cable trapped in his force field and despite Cable's best efforts, he's unable to resist it, so he lets out this as his last words right before the force field crushes him. Notably, Booster looks more annoyed at this than anything, likely since such insults are pretty common for him.
    Cable: I'll see you in hell, you goddamn golden asshole!
• When Bonnie and Gayle end up in a situation that could get them killed, Gayle tells Bonnie she'll meet her in hell 'by the panini station'. Bonnie says she'll see her there. Fitting, really, considering their crouton business was also called "Meet Me In Hell Croutons".

  Penwood: When you get to Hell, tell them Penwood sent you. And then apologize on my behalf for the inconvenience.

  • Parodied in another episode where the Simpsons are hosting an important dinner which is ruined by their newly-gained greyhound puppies who eat the turkey. The guests were Homer's old army sergeant (who was willing to overlook Homer accidentally being released from service three weeks early), an IRS agent (who was willing to overlook an improperly paid income tax), and Reverend Lovejoy. When the dinner is ruined, the guests storm out.
    Sergeant: Simpson! See you at reveille 0500 tomorrow!

  • It appeared once again in a Treehouse of Horror special when zombies are returning to their graves.
    Zombie Sisyphus: (conversationally) See you in hell.
    Random Zombie: Still pushing that boulder?
    Zombie Sisyphus: Uh huh.
  • Homer Simpson again, escaping a candy convention following the theft of a rare gummy. Fashioning an ad-hoc hand grenade out of a packet of Pop-Rocks and a can of soda, he parts with the line "See you in hell, candy boys!"
  • Parodied in "The Cartridge Family", when Homer engages in a round of skeet shooting with his new gun and a few thrown dinner plates. He gets most of them, but misses one, bringing him to walk over, and with the appropriate music and camera angles, mutter, "See you in Hell, dinner plate!" before shooting it where it lies.
  • Parodied in Treehouse of Horror IV, where Homer is avoiding getting his soul sold to the Devil (Flanders):
    "I'm smarter than the Devil! I'm smarter than—"
    (turns into a huge demon) "YOU ARE NOT SMARTER THAN ME!!! I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL YET, HOMER SIMPSON!!!"
  • As the family attempts to board the helicopter escaping from Itchy & Scratchy Land, the man in the Itchy costume (whom Homer and Bart had been tormenting throughout the episode) kicks them off, saying "Hey, you're the guys who didn't like our bit! When you get to Hell, tell 'em Itchy sent ya!"
  • In "The Ziff Who Came To Dinner", during a Blair Witch-style investigation of the attic, Lisa tearfully tapes a goodbye message to her family and tells Bart "I'll see you in Hell, you booger eating coward! That's right, WE ALL KNOW."
  • Parodied yet again in "Mom and Pop Art," when Homer is attempting to flood Springfield Venice-style as a pop-art project. The first step involves stealing everyone's doormats and using them to plug up the town's street drains. Homer and Bart make various quips while tossing them, including "See You In Hell, God Bless This House!"
  • In "Lisa The Greek", Homer uses his gambling earnings to buy the family gifts. What he gives Bart (who loves the gift) is an electronic response button that says "Shut up!", "Kiss my butt!" and "Go to hell! Go to hell!"
  • "The Last Temptation of Homer" has him and his coworker, Mindy, going to a national energy convention to represent the Power Plant. Upon one man yelling at them "No more Chernobyls!", Homer screams, "Go to hell!" and throws a brick at him (which actually connects).
• Used in the Sealab 2021 episode "Policy" by Captain Murphy, in surprisingly level tones, on realizing he was about to be killed by Sparks for insurance money:
  Captain Murphy: Oh... Ohhhh. Well... see you in hell, then.
  Sparks: Eh, probably.
  • Appropriately enough, Murphy manages to kill him as he's dying and over the end credits, we see the two in Hell, talking (in a rather blase manner) about how unpleasant it is.
• Spoofed in the Futurama episode "Raging Bender" by the horribly sexist Master Fnog, who tells Leela, "See you in girl hell! I'll be in boy hell — much nicer!"
  • In a variation in another episode, when Bender is on his way to the robot version of the electric chair, a prisoner he passes says "Tell the robot devil I'm comin'". The next prisoner is the Robot Devil:
    Bender: Hey, that guy says—
    Robot Devil: I heard him.
• Transformers: Beast Wars has a few variants, such as "Give my regards to the Inferno!"
• Ugly Americans: Mark Lilly's bedroom wall has this written on it. It makes sense considering his girlfriend is half-demon.

    You think that you've won, you think all is well! But kiss my green ass; I shall see you in hell!

  • Used casually at the Special People's Games in "Ready, Willing, and Disabled".
    Tom Tucker: Today we'll see some of Quahog's finest athletes struggle valiantly against God's twisted designs. You'll cheer, you'll cry, you might even get a cheap laugh or two.

    Tom Tucker: I'll see you there, Diane.

• The Batman: The Animated Series episode "Perchance to Dream" was originally supposed to feature Batman saying this to the dream version of himself (who turns out to actually be the Mad Hatter), but S&P made them change it to "See you in your nightmares.", which actually works well with the episode's theme.
• Adventure Time: in the season 2 premiere "It Came From the Nightosphere", Finn had accidentally released Marceline's father, a nigh-unstoppable soul-sucking demon king from a fiery dimension called the Nightosphere. Finn was eventually able to distract him and banish him back. After, he says this line:
  Finn: I'll see you in the Nightosphere, ya sick freak.
• From The Venture Bros. second-season episode "Love Bheits":
  Brock: Hank, no! It's suicide!

• Australian bushranger Ned Kelly told the judge (who'd sentenced him to hang) that he'd see him where he was going. And then two weeks after Ned's execution, the judge died. Thus proving that on top of everything else, Kelly was a dark wizard.
• American outlaw Tom "Black Jack" Ketchum was hanged at dawn and said to the hangman, "I'll be in hell before you've finished breakfast, boys. Let 'er rip!"
• Hell wasn't explicitly mentioned, but the effect was similar and the eventual destination was clearly implied: when Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, was about to be burned at the stake for probably false charges of heresy, it's said that his last words were to tell Pope Clement V and King Philip IV of France (the ones responsible for his execution) that within a year they'd be facing God's judgment for their crimes. Both Clement and Philip really did die within a year of Jacques' execution. This formed the basis of The Accursed Kings.
• According to the Roman biographer and historian Suetonius, a certain actor playing in a musical farce during Emperor Nero's bloody reign when he was purging suspected enemies did a song and dance in which he sang "Goodbye Father, goodbye Mother" while making gestures at the audience as if he were eating, drinking, and swimming. (Nero's mother Agrippina is believed to have killed his adoptive father Claudius with a poisoned mushroom; Nero in turn later tried to drown his mother, and then had his henchmen stab her to death with their swords after she got away by swimming for her life.) When he got to the last line of the song, "Hell guides your feet..." he swept his hand out in the general direction of the audience.
• The town of Hell, Michigan; hope to see you there! (And, yes, it does freeze over.)
• The Steel billionaire Andrew Carnegie, and the chairman of his company board, Henry Clay Frick famously did not get along. When Carnegie tried to make amends late in life, Frick told the courier "Tell him I'll see him in Hell, where we both are going." When author Les Standiford wrote a book on their relationship, he even titled it Meet You in Hell: Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the Bitter Partnership That Changed America.
• Norwegian Nazi collaborator and infamous torturer Henry Rinnan was sentenced to death by a tribunal after World War II, and before he was shot allegedly said it: "See you in hell, guys".
• Gary Gilmore, whose 1977 execution made world headlines as the first in the United States after the death penalty was reinstated, is reported to have said something along these lines to two other Utah death row inmates, Dale Selby Pierre and William Andrews, as he was led away to the firing squad; there's dispute on the exact wording. Gilmore had developed an intense loathing for the two men, partly motivated by Even Evil Has Standards, since Pierre and Andrews were the perpetrators of the horrific 1974 "Hi-Fi Murders".^note Pierre, who'd changed his name to Pierre Dale Selby, was executed in 1987, and Andrews followed in 1992
