Sometimes, people give one Final Speech before they die. Other times, they'll tell their comrades that It Has Been an Honor, or to their loved one that they're Sorry That I'm Dying or give a Pre-Sacrifice Final Goodbye. In this scenario, however, they completely avoid the subject. Rather than discuss their impending doom (or their loved one's), they'll have a casual conversation about something completely unrelated. Maybe they'll make plans for a date, or talk about how lovely their home is this time of year and that they should visit soon. Of course, they (and the audience) are well aware that those plans will never be. This is usually used as a means to either comfort the one that is dying or comfort the one left alive who is witnessing their loved one's death. Sometimes, a character isn't dying at all and is just being Put on a Bus, and the two are just avoiding any overt showing of emotion. Sadly, in the case of a character actually dying, one will usually die while it's their turn to talk, leaving the anguished survivor desperately trying to continue the conversation. An especially tragic bit can be if one person dies unnoticed (at least at first) in the middle of such a conversation. Although this is, for the most part, a Death Trope (and thus spoileriffic), this one has far more exceptions than most. As mentioned above, there are times when one character is just saying goodbye. Other times, the characters end up getting out just fine in the end. Compare My Death Is Only The Beginning, where a character (usually a villain) makes a detailed plan for after they die. Contrast Retirony, where the plans are made, but the character(s) have no sense of their impending doom. Compare If We Get Through This… |

In Alexander, the title character does this as his best friend/lover Hephaistion lies dying. As he describes the lands they'll conquer in the future, he wanders to the window to gaze toward those lands, and as he does so, Hephaistion dies unnoticed behind his back. | |

In Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, Tai and Matt spend the end of the movie with Agumon and Gabumon separately, during their final moments before the latter two vanish. Agumon and Gabumon each ask Tai and Matt what they plan on doing the next day, and before the two can answer, they have already disappeared. | |

Played for laughs in The Simpsons "Lisa the Skeptic," Edna suggests she and Skinner have sex one last time before the end. Skinner agrees, but true to form, asks her to wait a little so he can finish signing some tardy slips. Not even a possible apocalypse can keep Skinner from upholding the school rules. | |

At the end of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Dodge and Penny lay down in his bed and share small talk about her childhood to distract themselves from the impact of the giant asteroid that is about to decimate the planet and destroy all life on it. It turns into a variation of Dying Declaration of Love when they confess their love for one another—neither of them is in any pain, but they're both about to die. | |

PandoraHearts has a more stealthy example. While approaching the series' Final Dungeon, Oz suggests having a tea party after the Grand Finale and everyone gets excited. Within a few hours of that conversation, though, over half their group is dead including him. While at first it seemed like cruel irony, flashbacks reveal that Oz had been aware he was going to die, making his tea party conversation a fridge example of this trope. | |

Homestuck: The last thing uranianUmbra does before taking her (possibly final) nap is to call Roxy and confide in her: her true name, her real species, her species' nature, and the relationship between herself and her brother. The first and last ones are most important to this trope: if somebody says her name to her brother, he will fall asleep and she will wake up, and vice versa. She leaves Roxy with her name so that if she never wakes up on her own, Roxy can contact her brother and do it herself. | |

In Persona 3, the members of SEES make a plan to meet on Graduation Day, even though they have every reason to believe that the world will end before that day ever arrives. Along the same lines, during the Christmas Eve date with Akihiko in the female protagonist's route in Persona 3 Portable, he gives her a music box and promises to give her something to put in it every year. |

In Captain America: The First Avenger, after Cap makes his choice to sacrifice himself, he and Peggy make plans for a date. A tearful Peggy tells him, "Don't you dare be late." He agrees, and reminds her that he can't dance, and worries about stepping on her feet. He gets cut off mid-sentence as he crashes into the sea. In Avengers: Endgame, he is finally able to fulfil his promise and travels back to the 1940's to spend his life with her. The final shot of the movie is them sharing the dance he promised her. |

Mass Effect 2: During their romance path, Shepard and Thane can make plans to visit a desert.

Mass Effect 3: If Shepard romanced Garrus, their final conversation in London consists of them calmly discussing whether to start a family after the war is over. Romanced Liara will also lament how disappointed their "little blue children" will be that she didn't have a speech ready. And if Shepard romanced Samantha, she promises to take her to Vancouver after the Reapers are defeated. Sam is not impressed. ("Not Paris. Not Venice. Vancouver." "It's a lovely city!" "You never take me anywhere nice.") |

However, Shadow Thief kills her right as he proposes. As John rushes her to the Watchtower med bay, she uses her final breath to say yes. For the record, John ends up marrying Shayera afterwards. | |

In each of the Mass Effect games, Shepard and their crew have every reason to believe that they're not going to survive the final confrontation against Saren (Mass Effect)/the Suicide Mission (Mass Effect 2)/the final push against the Reapers (Mass Effect 3). That doesn't stop them from making plans. Mass Effect: Ashley refuses to tell Shepard that she loves him until after they defeat Saren. Mass Effect 2: During their romance path, Shepard and Thane can make plans to visit a desert.

In Hell Teacher Nube, this happens when Nuubee, after his Love Epiphany, rescues an already badly injured Yukime from her father's Battle Butler. As he carries her away while talking about what they'll do now that they're together, poor Yukime whispers "I... I'll love you... always..." and passes on. He doesn't notice until he reaches for his students and Ritsuko, and then Yukime's body starts disappearing and melting into snowflakes... (Don't worry, she gets better, but it takes quite the effort and time.) | |

"A Little Fall of Rain" from Les Misérables is this trope for Marius and Eponine. While Eponine insists that she's at peace with the prospect of dying, Marius attempts to assure her that she'll survive somehow. Later, in the show's final scene, Cosette does the same thing as Jean Valjean is dying. | |

In the third installment of A Song of Ice and Fire, Jon has something of a one-sided version of this with his Love Interest, the dying Ygritte. As Jon holds Ygritte, he tells her that she'll be fixed up, that she'll see a hundred castles, and that they'll return to their cave together. Her response is simply, "You know nothing, Jon Snow." | |

One of the most famous and touching scenes in The Iliad is Hector visiting with his family. His wife Andromache knows that Troy will fall and begs him not to go. Hector then goes to his son Astyanax and accidentally scares him with his helmet. After taking it off, he holds his son and prays to Zeus, blessing his son to be a greater warrior and leader than himself. Therefore this is Older Than Feudalism. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: In the prelude before the battle against the Orcs, Arondir and Bronwyn share several moments alone. Arondir gifts Bronwyn his alfirin seeds and asks her to plant one as do the Elves when a battle is about to occur. Arondir explains her that Elves believe that some of the Valar watches over all the growing things than leads her hand to a trunk of a nearby tree. He promises they will live to plant the other one together with Theo in a new garden. | |

A particularly heart-wrenching example occurs in CLANNAD: as his wife, Nagisa, dies during childbirth, Tomoya goes on talking to her optimistically about all of the fun they're going to have as a family whilst holding their newborn baby. | |

Final Fantasy X had this as a major and very well developed plot point for the first 3/4 of the game where Tidus and Yuna talked about what they were going to do after defeating Sin with the Final Aeon; they did this all the way up to just before entering Zanarkand. When Tidus learns that Yuna's death would be a part of the summoning, it crushes him as he thinks about how much time they spent talking about the future beyond Sin's death. Towards the end of the game, it actually switches around as Tidus keeps secret that he will disappear when they stop Yu Yevon. It also acts as a subversion. With Tidus and Rikku hell-bent on finding another way and Auron quietly (but awesomely) backing the idea, Yuna eventually rejects the whole idea that she has to die and twist a loved one into the next Sin, culminating in Final Fantasy X-2 where she tells someone who plans a Heroic Sacrifice "your plan sucks!" |

In the last act La Traviata, the duet "Parigi, o cara" has Violetta and Alfredo imagining a Happily Ever After future in the country, just a few minutes before Violetta succumbs to her Incurable Cough of Death. | |

The obscure late-90's film Last Night is about an unspecified, but unpreventable, cosmic disaster that's going to destroy the planet. The whole movie is about the last few hours of life on Earth, with a special focus on a man and a woman (who are total strangers to each other) planning on committing suicide. Instead, just as the destruction begins, they kiss and listen to music. | |

One of the greatest moments of this is in Of Mice and Men where George talks to Lennie about their plans for the farm and the rabbits to distract Lennie before George shoots him in the back of the head out of kindness, before Curley kills him instead. It is such a heartbreaking moment... | |

In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy, Xander, and Willow discuss going to the mall the next day while preparing for the Final Battle. Unsurprisingly, all three of them survive (though the mall is destroyed, leading Dawn to comment that she fought on the wrong side). Two seasons earlier, Xander proposed to Anya just as they go off to stop the Apocalypse (again). |

Angel Beats! contains an obvious example of this trope, when the main character Otonashi promises to his dying little sister that he is going to make this Christmas night the best possible. For more tearjerking, she dies on his back, without him noticing, after thanking him. | |
