"Too bad! I'm doing this [[TitleDrop With Or Without You]]!"

[[AC:{{Film}}]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster''. After their master leaves them, a group of appliances must decide what to do.
-->Toaster: Well, I'm going, with or without you.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'' - "Now whether you assist me or not, I am going to Paradise Falls, if it kills me!"

* ''PrisonBreak'' episode "Under & Out"

* In ''{{Ace Combat Assault Horizon}}'', when General Stagleishov objects to the operation that Warwolf squadron has formulated, William Bishop responds in kind.

* In an episode of ''TheSimpsons'', Homer says that he is going to try to get a celebrity couple back together ''with'' or ''with'''''out''' Marge. (From memory)

* AvrilLavigne's 'Nobody's Fool' is all about how the person being sung to is trying to hold the singer back. It gives us this line:

* The [[ATeens A-Teens]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin With Or Without You]]

* {{U2}}'s "With or Without You" uses the phrase and inverts the message.

Please be careful with examples. A character saying something like CannotLiveWithThemCannotLiveWithoutThem may sound very similar to this trope if the phrase is out of context.

->--'''Samantha''', ''Film/TheMexican''

* ''TheStepfordWives'' (2004). Joanna has realized that something is rotten in Stepford.

* ''TheBraveLittleToaster''. After their master leaves them, a group of appliances must decide what to do.

* ''Kelly's Heroes''. In the beginning after they're done at the farmhouse, Kelly gives this line to Big Joe when Big Joe tells him to not tell the others about the gold.

* ''OnceUponATimeInAmerica''. Max plans to pull a BankRobbery.

* In ''Ace Combat Assault Horizon'', General Stagleishov objects to the operation that Warwolf squadron has formulated, saying is=t would be a mistake if they attacked archaeological ruins despite the fact that they are being used as a base by the rebels. William Bishop responds in kind.

* The A-Teens [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin With Or Without You]]

* ''The Insider''. Lowell Bergman has refused to edit the film of an interview.

* The line is never explicitly used, but is strongly implied during the conversation about [[spoiler:the family relocating.]] Christine is against it, but Kody says that he has decided they have to do it and the other wives note that Christine has a choice about whether or not to join them.
** Would someone who has a clue what this refers to please include the ''name of the show'' being talked about here?

->--'''Samantha''', ''TheMexican''

* ''TheMexican''. Samantha wants Jerry to go to Las Vegas but he doesn't want to.
-->Samantha: I'm going with or without you, Jerry. What's it gonna be?

* ''{{Angel}}'' episode "Redefinition"

* ''{{Up}}'' - "Now whether you assist me or not, I am going to Paradise Falls, if it kills me!"

[[TheHeart Bob]] is looking over Alice's plan to infiltrate the enemy base and notices that it will [[WhatMeasureIsAMook cause a lot of casualties]]. He feels uncomfortable about this and talks to her about it. She starts with how it will [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans be worth it in the long run]], and may let something slip about [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope a later plan]].

As Bob gets more and more worried, and Alice gets more and more defensive, she finally reaches her tipping point and declares:

"Too bad! I'm doing this [[TitleDrop With Or Without You]]!"

A StockPhrase cementing that Alice is done with Bob's opinion, because she believes she doesn't need him. [[TheDogBitesBack This]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard rarely]] [[KarmicDeath ends]] well. Can also be "We're doing this with or without you," in which case some of the 'we' may walk off with Bob, or be clearly staying only out of terror. [[SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness It needn't be this dramatic.]]

Alice can also be heroic, in which case Bob is probably just scared and [[ChangedMyMindKid may come back at an appropriate moment.]] This also makes it ''much'' more likely Bob will stay, happily or [[SourSupporter not]].
