* ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'': Kaname Chidori's first scene contains an exchange like this, when she's calling out her friend Kyoko for setting her up on a date with an obnoxious boy:
-->'''Kyoko:''' C'est la vie.
-->'''Kaname:''' What do you mean, "C'est la vie", Kyoko? I mean, you're the one who set me up on that stupid date.
-->'''Kyoko:''' I did it because somebody asked me to.
-->'''Kaname:''' Well then, if someone asked you to sell me to a foreign country, would you do it, Kyoko? I'm really curious.
-->'''Kyoko:''' ''[after thinking about it for a second]'' Yeah, maybe.
-->'''Kaname:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Oh, great. Just what I need.]]

For a brief period in the 90s, the most common response was to say something along the lines of "No, bridge-jumping is tomorrow," and explain that the kid character was also participating in bungee jumping.
