This picture of Daryl and Wanda in Baby Blues is not an example of the trope, and only looks like one at first glance. In it they say:

Wanda: I don't want to know, but I don't want to not know if you know...you know?
Daryl: I know! I don't want you to to not know what I know, too!

They use an unecessary number of double-negatives and repeat the word "know" more than they have to, but what they're saying is actually much simpler. My translation is:

Wanda: I don't want to know, but I want to know if you know.
Daryl: Yeah! I want you to know what I know too!

Therefore, this hardly even makes it to level 1 and has nothing to do with each person worrying about whether the other has anticipated their plan. I propose that we pull this image and come up with a better one.

Valid point. It's not an example.

Just so we have an example to get things going [1] is from Peanuts.

We need a new page quote for this because any image we pick will have significant overlap.

4.1 is my choice for layout.

Votes bump; both are in the green, one has a fair lead.

This one's way past due to be called. The new pic's swapped in and tagged; caption?

We'd say that Daryl and Wanda are demonstrating the trope, but we know that you already know that.
