“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“I can explain!”
“We’ve got company.”
“It’s not what you think!”
“Can you just trust me?”
“I know everything, but I can’t talk now. Meet me at midnight.”
“After i tell you what i know I’m going to the police!”
“I think you’d better take a look at this.”
“I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.”
Indeed:
“Let’s split up”
“Have you told anyone else about this?”
and not in the text, but the camera directions:
Focus on car this person has just got in, from outside…
This one drives me crazy:
Two people in some sort of scary or tense moment, typically walking, often looking for the source of the tension. One, who is slightly ahead of the other, stops, stares, mouth agape, speechless.
Person number two catches up, and what do they do? Look to see what the source of the partner’s distress is? Nope. They instead stare directly at person one’s terrified face for way too long, until person one eventually, slowly points, directing person two where to look.
mmm
Open mouth loud screaming.
Animals roaring.
This one is usually a lady: sees dead body, drops item, screams. Sometimes while holding her face. I like that Knives Out subverted this one.
Also holding someone’s head while kissing them. It looks like you’re about to murder them IMHO.
“I retired from pulling off elaborate heists, but this One Last Job I’ve been offered sounds like easy money.”
“Oh no, a car is chasing me. I’m going to run right down the center of the road, and not into the woods along the side of the road, where the car would have a much more difficult time running me down.”
Watching Trust:
“It’s okay sweetie. It happens to everyone. Now and again.”
Once again:
“Can I ask you a question?”
Picard: What are you seeing, Number One?
Riker: Trouble.
Yes, how about a useful description, you twit!
Cut to a person actually named “Trouble.”
Whenever someone said, “Fire at will” on ST:TNG, I wondered if Riker felt the need to duck.
That said, “Fire at will” probably belongs in this thread’s list.
“I’m going to–”
“You’re going to what!?”
Who interrupts some who’s telling you what they’re going to do just to ask them what they’re going to do? Does this EVER happen irl? Or just in every single argument written for a screen?
No fair because this happens all the time in real life.
Me: I’d like a Big Mac and als
Order Taker: Would you like anything else?
"Let’s just say … "
