Jean: Dammit! Floch! Don't you see that there's a good chance this is all part of the enemy's plan?
Floch: So what? If it is, those idiotic MPs will just look even stupider.
Hange: Wha...? We never told you the Military Police Brigade drank the wine! ...Wait, did you know about the wine?
(Floch holds a finger to his mouth, grinning guiltily.)
Attack on Titan, Chapter 112: Ignorance

Rinko Akaishi: I'm a former scientist. These days, I'm just a single mother. I don't have the energy to fly around the world with you... in search of rare creatures now.
Koutarou Hibino: Then... you're not interested in her either?
Rinko: "Her?"
Koutarou: Yeah, her. The one that keeps getting the world all riled up.
Rinko: ...How do you know it's a girl?
Koutarou: Could be my instinct from long years of experience... but I can tell from the way it moves, its cry... and its eyes... those are the eyes of a woman in love.

Detective #1: So, you say you have nothing to do with the Black Labor?
CEO: How many times do I have to tell you? I don't have anything to do with the Griffon! Or do you want me to just admit my "guilt"?
Detective #1: If you did that in the first place, it would have saved us a lot of time. [turns around] Did you hear that?
Detective #2: Yup.
Detective #3: Sure did.
CEO: What...?
Detective #1: Sir... How did you know the Black Labor is called "Griffon"?

Bandit Keith: [After losing to Joey Wheeler] This Duel doesn't count!
Joey Wheeler: Huh?
Tristan Taylor: Doesn't count?
Téa Gardner: Keith just doesn't know when to give up.
Bandit Keith: The entry card that Joey showed to play in this match wasn't even his! Therefore the duel shouldn't count, and he ought to be disqualified right here.
Joey Wheeler: He's right. My card was missing, so Mai gave me hers. But tell me Keith — How could you have known this wasn't my card?
[Keith is struck silent by the question, realizing he just made a mistake.]
Joey Wheeler: [Growing suspicious] I'm all ears. So why don't you explain yourself?
[Keith can only growl, before Pegasus interrupts]
Maxmillion Pegasus: He doesn't need to, it's clear that Keith stole Joey's card. That's why he was so certain you would never be able to find it.
Joey Wheeler: You snake! I knew it.

Calvin: Hi Roz. My parents changed their mind about going out, so we won't be needing your services. Goodbye.
Calvin's Dad: Hi, Rosalyn. What are you talking about, Calvin?
Calvin: You can't go out if mom can't find her shoes, right?
Calvin's Dad: And what do you know about that?
Calvin: (nervously) Uh, nothing! Ha ha! Um, why? Are her shoes missing?

Megan: This is the fourth time he called today!
Sherman: Why won't you buy his ginsu knives, Megan?
Megan: How did you know he was selling Ginsu Knives? Was that you on the phone?!
Sherman: I need to make my quota!

Professor Professor: Alright, you want to know what [he and Doctor Doctor] were doing?! Fine! We were on a date!
Victor: A date? As in, a romantic date?
Professor Professor: Yes, what did you think I meant?
Tushika: But why? Didn't you once refer to her as a quote-unquote manipulative sociopath?
Professor Professor: Something like that.
Tushika: So why would you go on a date with this woman, willingly I might add? You really expect me to believe that Doctor Doctor wasn't holding you hostage?
Professor Professor: I know it can be hard to believe. It's one thing to regard what I'm telling you with skepticism. It's another to make wild accusations or insinuate that we've rekindled our relationship.
Tushika: What? I never said anything like that. What are you talking about?
Professor Professor: Oh. Oh...

Anita: Anyway, judging by how you reacted, that would mean you've seen [Doctor Doctor], right?
Urtica: That's right. However, I can assure you that we didn't give her our peashooters nor did she bless me with child.
Victor: Uh, we didn't say you gave her your peashooters, [a]nd we definitely didn't say that she got you pregnant...
Urtica: You didn't say we didn't give her our peashooters, either.
Victor: Well, you got me there.

Sarabi: THEN HOW DID YOU SEE THE LOOK IN MUFASA'S EYES?!

Eliza: Let [Debbie] go!
Sloan: Certainly, if you tell me who is your source of information!
Eliza: I told you, there's no one! I-I just guessed all of that stuff... the fence and the explosives and—!
Sloan: I never mentioned explosives! You're lying!!

The Father/Yuichi Kimura: Please! Please, kid. Call your man. I'll do what you want, just... leave my son alone.
The Prince: Your son. Do you know how easy it was to get him to follow me up onto that roof? Didn't think it would take you three hours to even realize your son was missing. You're a terrible father, and your son is going to pay for all the mistakes you've made.
The Father: You don't know anything about life. How hard it is. You're just... some spoiled girl who breaks their toys when Mommy says she has to pick up.
Lemon: Sorry. Pardon me, I don't mean to interrupt what's, uh... going on here. But you wouldn't happen to have seen a tiny white prick with a pair of glasses come through here, have you?
(Lemon drinks from his totally harmless water bottle as the camera dramatically focuses on it.)
The Prince: Um... no.
Lemon: What about a silver case with a train sticker by the handle? You seen that?
The Prince: It's not... ringing any—Uncle Kimura, have you seen a silver briefcase with the train... Did you say "train sticker by the handle"?
Lemon: The handle had a train sticker.
The Prince: That's unique. No, I haven't seen anything like that. I think I'd remember.
Lemon: Hm. "Uncle Kimura"?
The Father: Yeah.
The Prince: Right. Are you okay? That's...
Lemon: Oh, yeah. Never shave on a bullet train, you know what they say. Well, couldn't hurt to ask, you know? (Walks past the two.) I'm just gonna keep following him.
The Prince: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, it’s all right.
Lemon: Go for it. Pardon me, "Uncle Kimura". You guys take care. (Stops in his tracks.) Just one thing, though, uh... Most people assume suitcase, you know, 'cause it's a train, overnight and all. But you... (Turns around to look at The Prince.) You said "briefcase". (Shrugs.) I never said "briefcase".

Dredd: You there. Identify yourself.
Chan: Chan, Sector Nine.
Dredd: Dredd, Sector Thirteen.
Chan: Responding to a 10-24. Good to see you, Dredd.
Dredd: Likewise. You alone?
Chan: Negative. Three-man squad closing on my vector right now. So relax: cavalry's here.
Dredd: ...Two.
Chan: Two?
Dredd: Two of us called in the 10-24. Wondering why you didn't ask about the other one.
Chan: ...Lex, move it!
Dredd

"Moody": Were there others? In the graveyard, were there others?
Harry: Um... I don't... think I said anything about a graveyard, professor.

Tony Stark: I know that it's confusing. It's one thing to question the official story and another to make up wild allegations that I'm some kind of a superhero.
Christine Everhart: I never said you were a superhero.
Tony Stark: You didn't? Well, good, because that would be outrageous and fantastic...

    Literature 
"You left your wife in the pavilion at about two o'clock, Mr. Ho. And you were here in this office till five, when your steward came to report your wife's demise. For all we know she could have died anytime between two and five. Yet when I told you about her suicide you said: 'Only a few hours after I had left her...' as Mr. Hwa and Mr. Yee here will attest. How did you know that she died at about half past four?"
Judge Dee, Judge Dee at Work

Agent Sommers: Mr Bond, when you met Steve Frawley, did you see something of yourself in him: a young, smart and ambitious man, with an attractive, smart wife, and beautiful children?
Norman Bond: Mr Sommers, this questioning has become irrational. If I understand you, and I believe I do, you are suggesting that I might have had something to do with my late wife's disappearance, as well as the kidnapping of the Frawley twins. How dare you insult me like that. Get out of my office.
Agent Sommers: Your late wife, Mr Bond? How do you know she's dead?

Garrett: [Hand] tortured you using the same machine she used to brainwash that bitch in the flower dress. And right now, she's probably doing the same to Agent Simmons. Oh, I've considered it plenty, my friend.
Fitz: No, Simmons will be fine.
Garrett: Just being realistic, kid.
Coulson: I never mentioned that.
Garrett: I'm telling you, killing her quick would be a mercy.
Coulson: I never said Raina had been inside the machine. I never told that to anybody.
Garrett: I must've read it in a report, then.
Coulson: You weren't with us.
Garrett: The point is, how many more have to suffer before Vic gets hers?
Coulson: You showed up right after.
Garrett: What are you driving at?
Coulson: After Skye was shot, Quinn said it was so I would lead the Clairvoyant to the cure. That's exactly what I did. I walked you right in there with me.
Garrett: Phil, look, it's been a rough day, I get it. But you need to take a second and... (several seconds of awkward silence amidst a Death Glare from Coulson) Damn it.

Gibby: Anyway... I was wondering, do you have Carly, Sam, and Freddie trapped here?
Nora: [beat] No. Good day.
Gibby: Wait, are you sure they're not here?
Nora: Yes, there's no one in my basement.
Gibby: I didn't say anything about your basement.
Nora: [realizing she said too much] No one sees the wizard!

Muck: And who was I supposed to have robbed, and when?
Pat Tuesday: A number of people from New York.
George Frankly: On six distinct and separate weekends, including a hit last night.
Muck: But I was here last night, and I'm always here on weekends!
I.O. Privacy: Oh, you didn't personally do it!
Benny: You wouldn't want to get your Pocono's pinkies dirty!
George Frankly: No, you were much too smart for that.
I.O. Privacy: You hired three henchmen to do your bidding for you.
Pat Tuesday: And after they had committed the burglaries... (Beat)
[Benny, Pat, and George all look suspiciously at I.O. Privacy]
Pat Tuesday: What did you say, Miss Privacy?
I.O. Privacy: I said he hired three henchmen to do his—
George Frankly: How did you know that, Miss Privacy?
I.O. Privacy: How did I know that? I was with you, remember?
Pat Tuesday: You were with us when we caught one burglar, Miss Privacy.
Benny: Not three. How did you know there were three burglars?
I.O. Privacy: ...I must have read it in the papers.
George Frankly: That information hasn't been released, Miss Privacy. Care to 'fess up?

Gunter: These two [Avatar and Azura] are the traitors!
Avatar: I would never betray my friends! You're wrong!
Gunter: That's all you have to say? Lord/Lady Avatar, it's painful to watch you lie to us. Please, just stop.
Avatar: But I know who the real traitor is! I wasn't sure before, but I know now. Ryoma, I know who killed Scarlet!
Ryoma: What? How do you know?
Gunter: A sudden revelation, Lord/Lady Avatar? Let's hear it, then.
Avatar: Scarlet's killer... It was you, Gunter!
Gunter: ... How disappointing. Accusing your accuser? Do you have any evidence? Lord/Lady Avatar, you couldn't sound any more desperate with your lies.
Avatar: Except that I'm not lying. Do you recall what you said to me? That you remember how that flower looked, pinned to Scarlet's chest before the jump?
Gunter: Of course. What of it?
Avatar: When we found Scarlet's body, does anyone remember seeing a flower?
Ryoma: Now that you mention it... No, there wasn't one on her.
Avatar: That's because the magical attack that she saved me from burned the flower away. And she had only put that flower on a moment before we jumped from the bridge. She and I were the last to jump, so the only ones who saw the flower on her were me... and whoever attacked her!
Gunter: Hrmph.
Avatar: What do you say now, Gunter?
Fire Emblem Fates Revelation

Kurt: We're with Thors Military Academy's branch campus, Special Operations. We'd like to ask you about the jewel you have in your possession.
Joseph: Wh-Wh-Whaaat?
Musse: We believe you've obtained that very recently.
Ash: Let's cut to the chase. Give it up.
Joseph: But why're you kids here...? I thought you were s'posed ta be on your field exercises.
Altina: You know quite a bit about us.
Joseph: N-Nah! Don't be accusin' me of somethin'! I'mma good schitizen!
Juna: You sure about that?
Joseph: Y-Yeah! Honest to Aidios! You think I'd be HERE if I got a Schtar Sapphirl? I can sell that thing for 500,000! I'd be partying all night with that kinda money!
Musse:Heehee. Bullseye.
Altina: You just dug your own grave.
Joseph: Huh?
Ash: We never said anything about the Star Sapphirl.
Kurt: Nor did we mention its value.

Naoto Shirogane: Just one more thing, please. We know for certain now that the first two murders weren't Nametame's doing. Someone else killed them. Adachi-san... Do you have any idea who that might be?
Tohru Adachi: I-I have no idea what you're talking about...
Kanji Tatsumi: 'Cause we think it mighta been you.
Adachi: What!? Th-That's ridiculous! We already know Namatame's the one who put them all in [the television]!
[Beat]
Chie Satonaka: What did you just say...?
[Adachi stays silent, realizing his mistake]
Ryotaro Dojima: Put them all in...? What's this "putting them in" business? Do you know something about the method behind their murders...? Don't tell me that all that talk about TVs and whatnot from before was...
Naoto: I see... Now I finally understand. To tell the truth, Adachi-san, I've been fixated on something you once said. Before, I didn't know why... Only that it sounded a wrong note to me. Do you recall when I read Namatame's diary at the scene of Dojima-san's accident? At the time, I said, "Even the victims who survived and were never released to the public are written here." And in response, your words were, "Wow... Then that settles it." How, I wonder, would that "settle" anything? At the time, the police had no idea that there had been other attempted murders related to the case... You had no reason to say such a thing. After all, there are countless examples of people disappearing for a few days... Yet when I read the list of names, you raised no objection. Odd, that. What do you say to that, Detective Adachi?
Adachi: I-I don't know! I-I said I'm busy...!

Goro Akechi: Pancakes... I don't want to hear that word again for a long, long time.
(One of the following)
Ann Takamaki: Hey, leave the pancakes out of this.
Ryuji Sakamoto: Well, we're all fans, since that's what helped us figure out your bullshit.
Futaba Sakura: Letting your guard down for even a second can cost you everything. Don't you forget it!

Makoto Naegi: Hold on a second, Mondo! What did you just say?
Mondo Owada: ...Huh? What'd I say?
Makoto: When Celeste testified a few minutes ago, she said...
[Maokoto brings up Celeste's words "I saw him stuffing a track jacket into a duffel bag. And then, I assume, he headed off to exercise."]
Makoto: She never said anything about the jacket's color. So why did you say Chihiro's "blue" tracksuit?
Mondo: What are you—!? You just—!
Byakuya Togami: Hey, Celeste. What color *was* Chihiro's tracksuit?
Celestia Ludenberg: As a matter of fact, it was...blue.
Makoto: And before we began the trial...did you tell anyone that?
Celestia: The only one I told about any of this was you.
Sakura Ogami: Then...Mondo, how did you know what color Chihiro's tracksuit was?
Mondo: B-Because I—! I just—!

Ekans: Grr... [Player] was still the one who picked up Nurse Buizel's cap! The key was inside so he had to have been the one to steal it! I'm being framed!
Player: What makes you say there was a key inside Nurse Buizel's cap?
Nurse Charmeleon: Yes, Ekans, where did you learn this? I doubt Nurse Buizel walks around and tells all the Pokémon where all the valuables are that he keeps on his person.

"You were summoned to this court for the first time earlier today. If you really had nothing to do with the murder, you shouldn't have known all the little details. For instance, you shouldn't have known what kind of bottle the potassium cyanide was in. But just now, you slipped up in front of every single person in this courtroom. You described the exact bottle used by the killer to hold the poison!"

Takayuki: I could report all the stuff you did to the police.
Nozu/Shorty: I haven't done anything.
Takayuki: Violation of the gun and sword law, assault, even breaking and entering, if we check the security cameras at the inn.
Nozu/Shorty: That inn doesn't have security cameras.
Takayuki: So you're familiar with the inn I'm staying at.
Nozu/Shorty: Shit.

Mario: Then...that...that means... It's one of you two!?
Green: Mario, it has to be Brown then!
Mario: Yeah you're right...
Brown: Oh, Mario, it's not me. I hate to say it, but I think it's your friend Green over there.
Mario: L-luigi? No..no.. it cant be him
Brown: Ahh, think about it, mate. He was standing in front of the body, he was also the one in the room when the vent was open. I'm sorry, Mario, but he's the impostor.
Mario: [Visibly upset] Mamma mia... [Loads gun and slowly points it at Green while covering his eyes]
Green: Mario, no, wait, no! I'm innocent, please!
[The camera cuts between Mario's gun and a quivering Green for a few moments]
Mario: [Uncovers his face and now looks confused] Wait a second... [Turns to Brown] How did you know we were in the room with the open vent?
[The camera cuts to Brown's blank face while visions show him framing and sabotaging everyone, revealing he is the impostor]
[Brown runs over to Mario, kicks the gun out of his hand, then grabs it and points it at Mario]
Green: He's the impostor! Run!

Taka: I CAN'T SPEAK CLEARER BECAUSE A DRONE SHOT ME IN THE GODDAMN CHEST BEFORE LAUNCHING A GRENADE THROUGH MY WINDOW. YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT WOULD YOU!? OR THE FACT THAT MY BAR IS CURRENTLY A SMOLDERING CRATER SURROUNDED BY DRONES?
Gepetto: Wow. That sounds mighty awful, Taka. I'm amazed that you could escape alive from those drones and spirits.
Taka: I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE SPIRITS TORCHING THE WRECKAGE, YOU CRAZY FUCK.
Gepetto: I am gifted with preternatural wisdom.

"Just a minute, your honor! (to Butt-Head) A moment ago, you said the eggs were 'rotten'! That's not mentioned anywhere here in the police report and it didn't come up this courtroom! Now how could you have possibly known that, unless YOU, and your little cohort Beatrice were YOURSELVES GUILTY OF THE CRIME?!"
Plaintiff's Lawyer, Beavis and Butt-Head ("The Trial")

Lloyd: How did you know?
Harumi: It's an Oni Temple. It's safe to assume that only an oni can take it.
Lloyd: No... how could you know that I was part oni?
Harumi: You're related to the First Spinjitzu Master. He was an oni.
Lloyd: But I never told you that. Jay and I were alone when Mystake told us the story. You were never there.
Harumi: I must have heard it from Jay! [Tries to take the Oni Mask of Hatred from Lloyd, only for the latter pull it out of her grip.]
Lloyd: I don't want to believe it... you're the Quiet One?
Harumi: How could you say that?
Lloyd: It all makes sense now — "The greatest villain is the one you never knew was there in the first place". You said that.

Vladimir Putin: Oh no. No! Nooo.
Taro Aso: Noo, not a Finrand!
Raila Odinga: All of Finland, gone.
Randy: Yeah, somebody better break the news to Norway; they were really close.
Alien Officer 1: None of you knew anything about Finland's destruction?
Randy: [rubs his neck again] No, I mean... Odds are, they nuked themselves. You know, suicide.
Alien Officer 2: We didn't say anything about nukes.
Randy: Or, or whatever they did, I'm sayin'.
