Grudging "Thank You"	comment	Though it sounds understated, it can mark the beginning of a change in a character or relationship. Alice has always disliked Bob, people in general or is just very proud. But to Alice's dismay, she gets helped out by Bob in a moment when she really needs it. Glumly, Alice accepts and just when Bob is leaving Alice goes: "Oh, and Bob..." Then a pause to indicate Alice biting the bullet. "Thank you." This thanks, however grudging, is sincere; insincere ones fall under Embarrassing Rescue. It can often be a Heartwarming Moment. Compare Think Nothing of It and Does Not Know How to Say "Thanks". If Bob has the same attitude as Alice, he is prone to express it, either because he dislikes the connection it formed, or because he did not act for Alice personally. Sometimes another character may apply a Prompting Nudge to get Alice to express her gratitude. Contrast Ungrateful Bastard if they're not thankful at all. Also contrast Snarking Thanks if the gratitude is sarcastic.

He expresses it by ordering Eric to go out and mow the lawn, awkwardly adding that the "lawn...thanks you for staying home." Red legitimately appreciates Eric's helping to pay the bills, but he's just extremely uncomfortable expressing his emotions except for when he's angry.

As Beast tries to shift the blame for getting mauled to her running away, she responds that it was him furiously yelling at her that she tried to escape the castle. As she's tending his wounds, Belle blandly thanks him for saving her life, and Beast gives her a flat "you're welcome." After that experience, Beast's demeanor changes from that of an angry Spoiled Brat to bashful Prince Charming.

She hates him and is also Force-sensitive and reads as prey to the vornskrs, so she tries taking stims to go without sleep. When a vornskr does finally get past her defenses and goes for her, Luke takes back his lightsaber and saves her with considerable difficulty. She has him drop the lightsaber and back off before very grudgingly thanking him and saying that now they're even for when she did not kill him immediately after finding him. But she still hates him.

Viewers get a hint of that second half coming when in his first exchange with Kirk and McCoy, after reacting very angrily to their (perfectly accurate) accusation that he had stolen a Federation ship, the alien visibly pulled himself together enough to thank them quite sincerely for rescuing him.

Grudging "Thank You" / int_c1c642f7	comment	In Hellboy (2004) Tom Manning and Hellboy can barely stand each other with the former being very bossy and somewhat bigoted towards inhumans and the latter being reckless and disobedient, but after defeating Kroenen together, the two somberly thank each other.

Grudging "Thank You" / int_cb2c3df6	comment	Oreimo: After taking a literal beating from their father covering for his little sister's hobby, Kousaka Kyosuke goes about his next day like any other. This trope was major character development for Kirino, including the first and so far only time she addresses him as brother and led to Kyosuke proclaiming "My little sister can't be this cute."

He thanks him only for Mokuba; admitting he had to be saved himself as well would have been a too big blow to his ego.

Grudging "Thank You" / int_dc2643a2	comment	In The Powerpuff Girls story "Everything Must Go" (DC run, issue #48), the Amoeba Boys have bought an electromagnet from Mojo Jojo's yard sale, and without any rational thought uses it to draw the moon towards Earth (claiming they were using it to hail a taxi). Mojo averts disaster by reversing the magnet's force and thinks the girls owe him a "thank you." The girls lock him in jail for creating the thing in the first place.
