A character says something to another character, and the second character has some sort of snarky retort. Later on the second character says (or paraphrases) what the first character said, and the first character knows what to say back. A subtrope of Ironic Echo. See also Meaningful Echo and Borrowed Catchphrase. Examples: |

In Goldeneye, it's James Bond and the Bond Girl of the film Natalya who get to do this to one another even though they're not directly conversing when they do so. About 2/3 of the way through the film aboard the converted missile train, the Big Bad has Natalya as a hostage and threatens to kill her if Bond doesn't surrender ("Two targets, time enough for one shot. The girl, or the mission?"); he replies, "Kill her. She means nothing to me." Both of them (along with the Big Bad) end up escaping alive. Near the end of the film the roles are reversed in Cuba, where the Big Bad, upon finding out Natalya had managed to change the access codes to the Kill Sat they needed for their plan and had set on a path to deorbit and burn up in the atmosphere, gets desperate and holds Bond at gunpoint to get her to tell them how to regain control; she gets to reply, "Go ahead. Shoot him. He means nothing to me." | |

In Metroid: Other M, Adam was known to end any order he gave to Samus with "Any objections, Lady?". Whatever the fans may have thought about him, especially compared to his Metroid Fusion persona, at one point he goes missing with the Deleter presumably on his tail. At one point, Samus reaches a bridge, only for someone on the other side to raise it and render her unable to cross it... whereupon she decides to self-authorize the Space Jump and Screw Attack. | |

Cats Don't Dance has an exchange between Danny and Max where Danny over-acts a line that just reads "meow." When Max acts Danny "how does the kitty-cat go?" Danny answers "meow?" hesitantly, before Max says "very good," and beats Danny up. Later in the film, just before Danny is about to send Max flying away on a hot-air balloon, the dialogue is reversed, complete with an Oh, Crap! look from Max. | |

Toy Story: Buzz thinks he can fly, but Woody calls it "falling with style." Then at the end, Buzz glides with spectacular style to save himself and Woody after getting them loose from Sid's rocket, and they switch up their roles. In the first movie, an exasperated Woody screams, "You! Are! A! TOY!"...You are a child's plaything!" at Buzz while he still believes he's a space ranger. Then, in Toy Story 2, Buzz says the same thing to Woody when he's reluctant to come home. Near the end of the second film, Mr. Potato Head keeps some green aliens from falling out a window. They chorus, "You have saved our lives; we are eternally grateful". Then, at the end of Toy Story 3, the aliens save the other toys, and the Potato Heads say it to them. |

In the Back to the Future trilogy, Doc is constantly confused by Marty's use of the term "heavy," while Doc is always exclaiming "Great Scott!" In the third film, when Marty realizes he could be shot by Buford Tannen instead of Doc, Marty instead exclaims "Great Scott!" and Doc falls right into place, saying the situation is "heavy." Additionally, the scene where Marty meets Doc at the bar, and reminds him they need to go back to 1985, has almost the exact same wording as a scene from the first movie, in which Doc tells Marty that he needs to take him to 2015. |

In Mass Effect 2, when Shepard finds out Cerberus has revived him/her, s/he can respond "I don't care what they did, or what you say, I am not working with terrorists," which is marked 'I'll never work for Cerberus!' on the dialogue wheel. Shepard quickly discovers that, like it or not, Cerberus is the only group trying to find out why human colonies are disappearing. Eventually, Shepard meets up with one of his/her crew, who is thoroughly disturbed at Shepard's new employer. If you ask them to come with you, they say, "I'll never work for Cerberus!" | |

Atlantis: The Lost Empire has at the end Helga Sinclair and Lyle Rourke escaping in a hot air balloon with a priceless treasure they stole. In a bid to go faster, they start tossing stuff they don't need off the edge to decrease weight, and Lyle throws Helga off the balloon with the line "Nothing personal." She survives the fall, and with one last effort she takes a signal flare (or a hand cannon, but the former is more implied) and shoots a hole right in the balloon in revenge. "Nothing Personal." | |
