We've all heard it before... literally. Some people know each other so well, they finish each other's sentences. The effect is usually a demonstration of how close the two people are — they're so familiar with one another, they even think alike. (That purpose is the last in the following list of purposes.) Generally comes in two forms— the single line and the complex dialogue. The single line goes something like, The complex dialogue is more elaborate: Closeness and familiarity aren't the only reason for this trope. Others include: Lampshading a catchphrase or Arc Words Mocking someone for their clichéd ideas: Last-Second Word Swap (especially when the audience was expecting it to rhyme): Making a quick gag by having the finished sentence be nothing at all like what the first person was going to say. Showing that two people who don't know each other are thinking the same thing. And more! This trait is often found in Creepy Twins, Single-Minded Twins, and Sickeningly Sweethearts, but hardly restricted to them— lovers, parents, siblings, friends, co-workers, enemies, even strangers can do this. And while we're at it, it doesn't have to be only two— loads of people can get in on the act, although it might start to stretch credibility. Also present as a way of showing that two characters are telepathic or are parts of a Hive Mind. If the characters are built around this trope, it's a sign of a big problem when they don't finish each other's sentences. If one character is a psychic, expect the other to shout something like, "Get out of my head!" Or even if they aren't psychic, if it happens often enough. A similar effect is having characters Finish Dialogue in Unison. Two Scenes, One Dialogue and Distant Duet have characters finishing each other's sentences without even being in the same scene. Compare Strange Minds Think Alike, Catchphrase Interruptus, Speak in Unison. |

A variant in the StarCraft novel Liberty's Crusade. Kerrigan, being a telepath, tends to finish other people's sentences out of habit, which annoys just about everyone else. When she's leaving for her totally-not-a-date with Raynor after the Antiga mission, Liberty's last bit of advice is "remember to let him finish his damn sentences". | |

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Dennis finishes Mac's sentences for him when the latter can't think of the right word, to emphasize their Like an Old Married Couple status (and Mac's bad grasp of vocabulary). During an episode where Mac is judging a beauty pageant, in which he plans to sleep with the "winner," he gets some chemistry with one contestant who finishes his sentence. After flirtatiously commenting on how amazing that is, he kills the mood by shooting down her next attempt. |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Fitz-Simmons do this a lot since by the time the show begins they've been firmly established in their relationship as The Dividual for years. They also have a tendency to talk over one another using synonyms before finishing a sentence simultaneously on the same word. The first episode where they're sent on separate missions shows Simmons attempting to finish Skye's sentences during moments of anxiety over Fitz's well-being - which she can do quite accurately, it seems, which doesn't make it any less annoying for Skye. Season Two reprises this trait in a very dark way, since Fitz-Simmons' relationship has been completely destroyed by Fitz's Dying Declaration of Love and the brain damage he sustained performing the Heroic Sacrifice to save Simmons. While he relies on an imaginary version of her to supply the words that have been destroyed by his aphasia, when he's finally reunited with the real Simmons she's unable to do so, effectively providing an Inversion of this trope. They start doing so again later in the season, providing a He's Back! over the complicated state of their relationship. |

In the Scott Pilgrim books, Ken and Kyle Katayanagi often finish each other's sentences with their reasoning behind it being that they would always work together after Ramona cheated on them behind their backs. This was obviously not in the movie as the only line the Twins have in the film is "Hah!" during a fight sequence. | |

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: Brad and Judy do this as a matter of routine. In one episode, Daphne finishes Fred's sentence and swoons that they know each other so well, they must be soulmates. Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby all finish Fred's next sentence, causing Shaggy to observe that all five must be soulmates. Both sentences are Fred's catchphrasesnote "Well, gang, it looks like we've got another" "Mystery on our hands" and "Come on, let's" "Split up and search for clues.", so it's more a commentary on how predictable he is. |

Harry Potter: Harry and Hermione do this sometimes, such as in Deathly Hallows when they discover what happened to Gryffindor's sword. Fred and George Weasley are not an example, although they are popularly portrayed that way in Fan Fiction. They don't complete each other's sentences in the books; rather, one will follow the other with the next appropriate sentence — they do not share a single mind, but simply think very much alike. The movies are much more guilty of playing this trope straight with them. |

The Lutece twins in BioShock Infinite do this so much that they actually Lampshade it while they're doing it. This becomes doubly justified when it turns out that they're actually not twins at all, but Alternate Universe variations on the same person, with gender being literally the only difference between them - meaning that they think and react the same way to everything and that the implication they've lived the same or similar scenarios dozens of times already, so they're pretty good at guessing what's going to happen next anyway. | |

This is part of the rules of a Riff-Off in Pitch Perfect; in order to switch to another song, teams must finish a lyric an opposing team is singing and then continue on the same word into another song. Failing to do this gets the Bardon Bellas disqualified from the Riff-Off in the first movie. | |

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality lampshaded the widespread fanon that the Weasley Twins complete each other's sentences. The fic features a section focusing on the Twins and indicating something magical is at work. They don't actually share one mind but come to the same conclusions when they have the same information. When one of them thinks differently than the other, they both feel uncomfortable until they share what they know and snap back. | |

While not the most typical example of twins, in Cardcaptor Sakura, Yue and Cerberus pick a climactic moment during the final judgment to suddenly start finishing each other's sentences—with multiple clauses, no less. In fact, despite their apparent hostility toward each other at the time, it becomes nearly impossible to distinguish exactly who is speaking at some points. | |

In the YouTube English dub, it's instead Probe who finishes their sentence by saying "cool", earning him a mug thrown at his face by Adu Du. | |

League of Legends: Kindred is heavily implied to be the Anthropomorphic Personification of Death, or rather, the result of said personification splitting itself in two and creating Lamb and Wolf. They have vastly different personalities, but they're never more than a few feet apart and seem to share thoughts, since they constantly speak like this. | |

The Sandman (1989): In the "Doll's House" arc, the yuppie couple Ken and Barbie keep passing sentences back and forth, giving a disconcerting impression of being a single mind in two bodies (or two minds so similar as to make no difference). | |

Happens in the finale of Stellvia of the Universe between Richard James and Carl Hutter when the two are having a few drinks on a desolate space station deck. James raises a toast, starting with "To the future...", and Hutter completes the sentence instantly, in the same tone: "...of humanity!" This is especially poignant, considering how Hutter is a shape-shifting Starfish Alien in disguise... and James knows it. | |

A mildly amusing accidental example in "The Boscombe Valley Mystery", one of Sherlock Holmes stories. Watson, working from the clues provided by Holmes, was just going to say the murderer's name aloud when he was interrupted by the hotel waiter announcing the name of the just-arrived-visitor - who was indeed the murderer. | |

She mentions that she had to be the one to poison him, because she is the only one he trusts. 47 knows this as well, and finishes the sentence. | |

In Saint Seiya, characters witnessing a shocking reveal, or performing a Combination Attack are prone to this. While the 198x anime had a few well-played occurrences (Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga against Poseidon) of this and in the manga it just works, but in the Hades Inferno/Elysion OVAs (which due to budget cuts and staff changes after the 2002 OVAs and the 2004 flopped movie, use the manga directly as if it was an anime storyboard), you end up with the twelve Gold Saints all doing a very poorly executed, long-winded speech, which comes off as Narm. | |
