I Say What I Say	comment	You meet yourself somehow, through Time Travel, dimension-hopping, cloning, or some even more exotic form of Applied Phlebotinum. Inevitably, if you spend enough time in the same room as yourself, the two of you will end up speaking in unison. The implication isn't usually that there's any kind of mystical connection between the different versions of you. It's just that whatever you're saying is so characteristic of you that any possible version of you would have said it at that time. See also Single-Minded Twins. Related to Something Only They Would Say and Strange Minds Think Alike.

I Say What I Say / int_1bfa015e	comment	A bizarre version occurs in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey; the two aren't the same person, but they're so close in personality they might as well be; so when they split off to propose to the princesses, they read out the same speech, changing only the basic metaphor (one of them uses ocean life, the other forest; they even both have a 'no, that's fresh water' / 'no, that's the desert' moment in unison. There's also the point where present Bill and Ted meet future Bill and Ted (or the same scene later in the film where present Bill and Ted are now the future Bill and Ted meeting past Bill and Ted):

Ted Penton and Rod Blake encounter Voluntary Shapeshifting aliens who impersonate them, and they have to spot the imposters; because the aliens can read minds, they can flawlessly imitate what Penton or Blake would say. It's not long before all twelve Pentons start speaking and acting in unison. Blake, on the other hand, is more uncertain, and the Blakes argue with and contradict one another despite all having access to the same mind.

Done in "The Almost People" with the 11th Doctor and "11.5", a clone created from sentient goo. They both have all the same memories and thought processes, leading to them almost always finishing the other one's sentences and saying the same thing at the same time. They actually don't mind, but it annoys Amy.
