A standard breakup line, commonly used in Real Life. One member of a couple suggests to the other that their romantic attachment end and they stay Better as Friends. The listener usually takes this badly (Unlucky Childhood Friend Romance, Entitled to Have You, "friend zone", etc.). The speaker may or may not actually wish to be friends, or indeed ever have contact with their ex again, but wants to spare the other's feelings in any case. See Just Friends for a type of Romance Arc that this line can be used to end. |

In Misfile, Emily goes on a date with someone in Cape Cod. He gives her the "let's just be friends" speech at the end, saying that he noticed that she wasn't really interested in him. But then he reveals that he thinks he's gay, or at least he's fallen for his male friend. Emily tells him that she thinks she's fallen for her (currently female) friend Ash, too. | |

Naomi tries this very line with Emily in Skins (not because she doesn't want their relationship, but because she's terrified of it); Emily's response is "We say that, don't we?". It lasts all of about twenty seconds before Emily breaks her defences down with the armor-piercing "I'll miss you." | |

X-Universe: The trope is used, minus the Stock Phrase, in the backstory of X: Beyond the Frontier (see the novelization X: Farnham's Legend and the X-Encyclopedia). At one point a few years prior to the start of the game Kyle Brennan and his close friend Elena Kho became trapped in a disabled patrol ship in the outer solar system and ended up sleeping together. After their rescue they decided not to pursue the Relationship Upgrade, though they wondered for many years after if it'd been the right call. | |

Being Mike Nelson, he adds a big dollop of Self-Deprecation when bringing up his own experience with the matter: | |

In Rick and Morty's Season 5 flashback episode of Rick's early days with Bird Person, "Rickternal Friendshine of the Rickless Mort", Rick basically indirectly confesses his feelings for Bird Person by inviting him to travel the multiverse together with him. However, BP is a bit put off by Rick's nihilistic statements about how the infinite nature of the multiverse means that "nothing matters"* (and there's also no indication given that he's interested in men at all anyway), and politely turns him down, implicitly saying this. They indeed remain best friends for years, but Rick does occasionally show some signs of bitterness that it never became anything more, most prominently at BP's wedding to Tammy. | |

In Dilbert, a woman says this line to the title character. Disappointed that he simply agrees, with no emotional reaction, she progressively ups the ante, first to "friends with other people. You and I would just be acquaintances," then to acquaintances that couldn't actually become friends, like "my ex-butler whom I fired for stealing stuff." When this still fails to get a reaction beyond "Okay," the woman wonders to herself what's going on, while Dilbert thinks, "Good, it seems the window of opportunity is still slightly open." | |

In Mass Effect 2 this is the gist of FemShep's conversation with Jacob Taylor if she breaks up with him. It includes words to the effect that they wouldn't work because they're too much alike. Though if they didn't break up before Mass Effect 3, he shows a way that they're different that makes them quite incompatible. | |

He wants to be friends with her until the end of the episode, and acts nice accordingly. She's puzzled by this attitude, even though as Jerry notes, their friendship started the exact same way. | |

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Despite spending the early-to-mid game playfully teasing and flirting with Cloud and clearly being attracted to him, in her resolution scene in Chapter 14 if her Relationship Values are highest, Aerith warmly tells Cloud that while she is beyond grateful for his friendship, he cannot allow himself to fall in love with her. It's hinted this is because she is aware that she is fated to die at Sephiroth's hands and wants to spare Cloud the grief and heartbreak when it happens. | |

In the Kim Possible episode "Emotion Sickness", despite Kim for all intents and purposes seeming to be totally in love with Ron, and Ron even admitting that he has thought about having a romantic relationship with Kim, he ultimately doesn't want to ruin his lifelong friendship with her note Though he ultimately changes his mind and decides the risk is worth it in So The Drama and gives her one of these speeches. Unfortunately, it's at that moment that the Moodulator switches from "serious" to "sad" and Kim takes Ron's rejection very hard. | |

Happens twice in Living Single to give closure to a couple failed relationships, once between Regine and her then-boyfriend Keith when he says that he hopes they can "still be friends", Regine quips that they can still be friends ... just not with each other. The second time it was between Overton and his ex-would-be-fiance Melody when she moves to New York to try and win him back, after being dismissed she expresses hope that they can still be friends, to which Overton replies "I believe it was Lord Byron who said, 'The best way will be to avoid each other without appearing to do so.' Letter of April 25, 1814. Goodbye, girlie." | |

In Plan B, Pablo sort of does this with Bruno after he decides that he can't go through with having sex with him, telling him that he's not as open-minded about his sexuality as he pretends he is but that "in the future, we can be friends". Subsequent scenes make it quite clear, however, that he really meant it as a polite way of completely severing their relationship after Bruno broke his heart. | |

Defied in Youth in Sexual Ecstasy, the Lady Killer In Love protagonist is outright told by his love interest that she prefers to be his friend first before getting into a relationship with him; the protagonist at first thinks that he is being friendzoned and is about to protest, but then he reconsiders and thinks "True Love knows how to wait"; needless to say he does end up with the girl. | |

In the How I Met Your Mother episode "The Rough Patch," when Barney and Robin realize that they are not good as a couple, Robin says what really sucks is that they can't be friends anymore. Barney says to think of it not as a couple splitting up, but two friends who managed to find each other again. | |
