Okay, Alice is trying to get some MacGuffin from Bob, but Bob doesn't want to give it up for free. Alice really doesn't have anything of value to offer, but she doesn't want to just let Bob walk away with the MacGuffin. In desperation, she says "I'll be your best friend!" This Stock Phrase is the staple of every character who fails at negotiation. Characters using this may sometimes combine it with offering a Comically Small Bribe. Inversion of Friendship Bribe, where someone offers money/favors in exchange for friendship. | |

Used by Launchpad in the DuckTales (1987) "Top Duck". When Launchpad is begging Scrooge to let him pilot the McX so he can impress his family, Scrooge points out in response to the pilot saying he'll do anything that Scrooge doesn't have a notable lack of anything. With no other course of action left, Launchpad offers to be his best friend, or not bother him again ever, as long as he can fly the plane. | |

A heartwarming variant in Dog Sees God, when CB visits Van's sister in the insane asylum.

Then, as he leaves, she says that if he can smuggle in a book of matches the next time he visits, "I'll be your best friend forever." | |

Played with in There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom by Louis Sachar. The main character, Bradley Chalkers, is a troubled kid who behaves so badly that nobody in his school can tolerate him. Jeff, a new kid, tries to make friends with him, only to have Bradley threaten to spit on him if he doesn't give him a dollar. Jeff gives him a dollar. The next day, Bradley approaches Jeff and tells him he will give him a dollar if Jeff will be his friend. Jeff agrees, and Bradley gives him the same dollar he took from him the previous day. | |
