Brick Joke? I'm not sure this counts as a pun, it would depend on how it's phrased, but Stealth Pun? Fridge Brilliance / Rewatch Bonus?

Joke and Receive if a joke is immediately proven true.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
What's the trope where somebody makes an offhand remark or joke, but it ends up being true over the course of the movie/book? A specific example I'm thinking of is where Bob, when introducing Alice, remarks that he doesn't think she speaks more than 3 words of English; over the course of the film, Alice has exactly 3 words of dialogue.
