* Variation with subversion: In ''[[PaperMario Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the apparently dying Bobbery wants one last sip of his prized Chuckola Cola vintage.

When you finally bring him the bottle, he takes one sip, and promptly... falls asleep. At which point, your partner gets annoyed that he [[DudeWheresMyRespect put you through all that trouble]], and orders you to conk him awake.

Most often though, it's a cigarette, because SmokingIsCool. This comes with the bonus of being able to ''see'' the character's final breath, and the added symbolism of the cigarette dying out.

* On ''StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' Bashir and Garak are strapped to a giant laser while trapped in a James Bond spoof. Bashir's last request is for Dr. Honey Bare (Jadzia Dax's body) to let her hair down. The holodeck has turned her into a mousy scientist, so she's very shy, but she does it. This is enough seduction for her to slip him the key. Quoth Garak: "Kiss the girl; get the key. They never taught me ''that'' in the Obsidian Order."
