Let Me Get This Straight... | comment |
A form of quick exposition used to sum up the crazy situation in which the characters find themselves. It can be for a few different reasons. Maybe someone's playing a game of Xanatos Speed Chess or Gambit Roulette, or there's a Gambit Pileup going down, and the character(s) are assessing the problem to make a quick decision on their feet. Maybe someone is about to do/has done something insanely stupid, and another character tries to talk them out of/calls them out on it by pointing out the idiocy of the plan. Sometimes a character, finding themselves in an unfamiliar/scary/Mind Screw situation, speaks to him/herself to clear their own head. Sometimes a previous character has just explained it for the first time, either offscreen, but presumably at too much length to show the audience or onscreen in a way the audience is not expected to comprehend. Could happen as an Inner Monologue, or by speaking to a mirror or some other object. Frequently begins with the words "So let me get this straight..." or "You mean to tell me...", and also frequently ends with "... is that about right?" However, it can also be pulled off without saying either of those phrases. Often, after the Let Me Get This Straight exposition is provided, a character will support The Plan by saying that it's Crazy Enough to Work. If the exposition puts the whole plot or certain point in a nutshell, then there is a very high chance that the line will be used in the trailer for the movie/episode. Truth in Television; which one of us hasn't done this at least once? Not related to Kirk Summation unless in regards to the Evil Plan. Is usually delivered by a Deadpan Snarker. When the characters are talking about something the audience aren't aware of, it's As You Know. When a character demands an explanation rather than summarizing one, it's What Is Going On?. When the character belatedly realizes a problem from his own explanation, it's Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!. |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: In the season 1 finale, a street vendor's witness report is summed up in the first scene after The Teaser and the opening theme, although since the witness hasn't given them much to go on, it's less about exposition in the traditional sense and more about lampshading how absurdly vague the report is. | |

In Jingle All the Way, Howard and Myron run to a radio station which is holding a contest for a free Turbo Man doll. Howard breaks into the studio and Myron threatens to blow them up with what he claims is a bomb, though it's really a music box. Before they can come to blow again, the DJ intervenes and pauses them to understand why they are there. | |

His notorious reluctance to reveal what actually happened during the five years he was supposedly marooned on Lian Yu doesn't help. | |

8-Bit Theater: Red Mage sums up a predicament to himself using "Let's review" as his opener. Somewhat justified in that he had just messed with his stats to give himself super engineering skills, then couldn't understand what he made once his stats were normal again. And like in Real Life, sometimes it's best to stop and try to explain things to yourself, at least if they're sufficiently confusing to begin with. Played straight in this one issue. Also here: |

Reflections Of Demons: Zabuza's reason for giving No Sympathy to Sasuke after he explains his Dark and Troubled Past and current behavior. He points out that Sasuke is following the advice of the man who murdered his clan, and rather than be a broody asshole could be more social in defiance to Itachi. He also points out that Itachi is either a sadist for telling Sasuke how to live his life or Itachi enacted a failed Batman Gambit because Sasuke was "too stupid" to read between the lines of Itachi's "Break Them by Talking" lecture. | |

The first episode of Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! gently spoofs and justifies this: After Nyarko's explanation turns into nonsensical rambling that gets fast-forwarded, Mahiro boils it all down to the key points for the sake of his own sanity. This is the result of a Pragmatic Adaptation, since in the original Light Novel Nyarko's disjointed monologue goes on for several pages. | |

Meg Langslow Mysteries: In the first book, when the killer is exposed and goes into a rant about how he thinks Mrs. Langslow knows he killed his wife and is blackmailing him into marrying her, Meg's sister asks him if he really thinks that a woman would want to marry him enough to blackmail him while knowing he'd killed his last wife. Even the killer is forced to acknowledge the ludicrousness of the premise after hearing it put in those terms. | |

On occasion, this is used in Hellsing Ultimate Abridged to sum up certain events. A particularly epic one occurs in Episode 10 when Alucard explains to Walter exactly why pushing him to release Restraint Level Zero was never going to end in his demise.

The Mysterious Benedict Society: In the original book, the eponymous group forms a plan that's described as being "bold, ill-formed, and likely to fail, and all of them knew it." "So let me just review the plan..." states Constance and launches into a series of nitpicks about all of the problems with it. "'So I ask you again,' she concluded, 'exactly how are we supposed to distract the Helpers?' 'Just be yourself,' Kate said with a sigh." In the second book, The Perilous Journey, the group, having journeyed to Portugal, finds a note telling them to go to the train station. There's a man standing nearby and Kate tells Sticky to ask the man how to get to the train station. Sticky says that he can't speak Portuguese, that he only knows how to write it. He writes out a note and hands it to the man, only for the man to make a writing motion and shake his head. "He can't read," explains Reynie. |

Alien³: The film features an outrageously straight version of this trope. "All right. Let me get this straight. You want to burn it down and out of the pipes, force it in here, slam the door — and trap its ass? And you want help from us Y-chromo boys?" One can only wonder how Ripley managed to explain the plan in a way convoluted enough that Dillon had to get it straight. Also, more humorously: "Let me see if I have this correct, Lieutenant — it's an 8-foot creature of some kind with acid for blood, and it arrived on your spaceship. It kills on sight, and is generally unpleasant." |

Red vs. Blue: This is Church's reaction to Caboose giving the Blue flag to Donut. Tucker is quite accurate in his summary of events soon after Tex arrives. As is Grif, later on in the series, discussing a plan. Later invoked by Simmons on trying to rationalize Sister's reason for joining the Blood Gultch Crew. Episode 13 starts out this way, with Tucker using the trope. Washington does this three times in Season 11. The first time is when Donut and Doc show up to rescue the Reds and Blues, but the ship they arrived in has left. The second time is when Felix explains that he was hired by the New Republic of Chorus to fetch the Reds and Blues to recruit to their cause. The third time Washington does this in season 11 is when Freckles is plugged in but is not getting any power. Donut reveals why this is happening, and... well... |

In The Hunt for Red October, the USS Dallas is trailing a newly-launched Russian sub (the titular Red October) which suddenly disappears from sonar. Shortly thereafter, Sonarman Jones detects a sound that the computer classifies as a "magma displacement". Recognizing that this new sound is not from a natural phenomenon, he works out a theory, which he presents to Captain Mancuso, that they're tracking a sub with a new form of propulsion technology, even figuring out where the sub is heading. Jones realizes that this could become a "You Have to Believe Me!" situation, and is surprised when Mancuso believes him straightaway. | |

The English dub of Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone tries to use this to cover up for an As You Know in the original script — Ritsuko had explained Misato's plan to Misato just so the audience could hear it. The dub makes it smoother by having Ritsuko take up the Snark Ball and say something to the effect of "Let me get this straight: your plan is to [exposition goes here]? That's not crazy at all." | |

Happens a few times on Leverage, usually by the authorities who arrest the mark after the team has set them up. A short and sweet one was the climax of "The Beantown Bailout Job": The first example occurred in "The Twelve-Step Job": But perhaps the pièce de résistance was "The Very Big Bird Job": This is, in fact, done purposely. John Rogers actually mentions SOME example of this is a great way to deliver exposition, and reset the plot to remind the viewers...which he does 4 times PER EPISODE, generally right after the commercial break. |

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series has had the Yugi character say this a lot. Probably because he's surrounded by a lot of wackiness. Lampshaded in one episode: After Kaiba was trapped in a virtual world by his corporate partners, Mokuba escaped and went to the game shop to ask Yugi and his friends for help. The scene cuts to Yugi saying: "Your brother's been kidnapped?", to which Mokuba responds: "Yes, that is exactly what I just finished telling you." | |

Geist: Happens one chapter after Raimi rescues Bryson (as in the previous one their top priority was to escape). Raimi explains Bryson offscreen what's going on with the Volks corporation (because Raimi is a Heroic Mime in-game), and then Bryson paraphrases what he's told to make sure he understands the situation. This is further justified because Raimi had been turned into a ghost and was possessing a female nurse. They might have thought that going right to the next action scene was too jarring, but they couldn't show Raimi talking. | |

Done multiple times in "The Greatest Caper Ever" by Strong Bad and The Cheat. Normally, when this trope gets used by Homestar Runner, it's someone translating Pom Pom or The Cheat for the benefit of the audience, but in this case it's justified; Strong Bad and The Cheat are trying to retrace their steps to figure out A) how they got Homestar onto an ice floe somewhere in the Arctic Circle, and B) how they have satellite coverage of Homestar on his ice flow in the Arctic. | |

Once when Buffy rubs it in Snyder's face after getting back to school: And once by Spike in the episode "Crush": Subverted repeatedly in "Spiral": Glory, the Big Bad, and Ben, the nice doctor, are the same person. There is a spell on them that makes humans (and possibly other, but not vampires) forget this. Spike explains the curse, but the Scoobies continually forget it. |

In the second episode of Squid Game, after the game ends after the first round, Gi-hun goes to the police to report that a game of "Red Light Green Light" resulted in over 200 people dying. Unfortunately, since Gi-hun is short on evidence, the police officer is skeptical, to say the least. | |

Done quite clumsily in Charmed. Just when the antics are starting to get interesting, Piper puts her hand on her hips and says they still need to defeat the monster of the week. It wouldn't be so bad if she would show some real fear (of the monster) or annoyance (of the antics) in her delivery. Instead, it just comes across as flat, and a way to remind the viewers of the plan they made ten minutes earlier. | |

In The Last Starfighter, Grigg explains that they'll be facing wave after wave of Ko-Dan fighters, but the biggest threat is the communication turret on the bottom of the Ko-Dan command ship, which allows the fighters to act as a single coordinated unit. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Disaster", Data and Riker are faced with a dangerous energy field that would surely kill Riker. Fortunately, Data can make it through with heavy damage to his body that will have to be repaired later, but with his head and neural net fully intact, which Riker can take with him. | |
