The only times Cage wakes up without hearing this phrase, [[spoiler: first after he's [[BroughtDownToNormal lost the ability to loop]] and second after he's destroyed the Omega]] are ''huge'' moments as a result.
** "You keep coming here every day and I'll train you." Rita's words to Cage show us that he's not the first person to have this power, eventually Cage interrupts her by saying that ''he already has'' come there and trained with her, hundreds if not thousands of times.
** "Hey mate, there's something wrong with your suit! There's a dead guy in it!" Skinner taunts Cage with this in the dropship, highlighting how ridiculously [[NewMeat out of]] [[ArmchairMilitary his depth]] Cage is at the beginning. By the end, Cage has died so many times and become such a [[ShellShockedVeteran hardened warrior]] that he finishes the joke himself, and it's Skinner who feels intimidated when he looks at [[TookALevelInBadass Cage]].

* In the original draft of the screenplay, Dante's constant complaint that "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" in ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' was intended to foreshadow the tragic irony of Dante getting shot to death by a criminal at the film's conclusion. As the script was revised, this particular meaning is lost: however, Randall still references Dante's use of the phrase in his rant near the end about how Dante refuses to accept responsibility for his own actions or attempt to make change in his miserable life. The same with the other arc phrase: "Bunch of savages in this town."
* ''Film/CloudAtlas'', being an a film built largely on symbolism, has a huge number of shared ideas, visuals and -- of course -- phrases. Sometimes coincidence, sometimes an instance of in-universe quoting, a few stand out:

** "The weak are meat, and the strong do eat."
** "There is a natural order to this world..."
** "I will not be subjected to criminal abuse!"

* In the original draft of the screenplay, Dante's constant complaint that "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" in ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' was intended to foreshadow the tragic irony of Dante getting shot to death by a criminal at the film's conclusion. As the script was revised, this particular meaning is lost: however, Randall still references Dante's use of the phrase in his rant near the end about how Dante refuses to accept responsibility for his own actions or attempt to make change in his miserable life. The same with the other arc phrase: "Bunch of savages in this town."
