Check, Please!	comment	The usual punchline uttered at the end of any sustained mayhem in a bar or a restaurant. Usually delivered by whatever major character either instigated or was caught up in the melee. When not, it is instead delivered by an otherwise nondescript background character who has made it through the entire disaster completely unscathed. Also heard when a guy gets lucky in a bar, just before he heads out to consummate his newfound luck. Usually restricted to comedies and those dramas which are not afraid of the occasional lighter touch. Compare/contrast the subtler Was Just Leaving.

Check, Please! / int_11b7db91	comment	Invoked several times during the Adventure Time episode "Videomakers". Jake tries to shoehorn the line into several different scenes because he wants to make the movie he and Finn are working on a romantic-comedy, but it isn't really used in a restaurant at any point. Following the episode, Shelby adopts the saying as a catchphrase at certain points in the series including the series finale where it's his final line in the series.

The hijinks range from cheese that has been aged in the back of Irma's pickup truck, ice cream cones with scoops of mashed potatoes on top, and lobster so fresh that it grabs the chef's nose (off-panel). Out of those comics, a few use the phrase word-for-word.
