RuleNumberOne | |
| Rule #1 | comment |
He's in a dangerous or uncomfortable situation with other people who are less experienced or trustworthy than him, and he wants to make some things clear. So he bluntly declares a numbered list of "rules" for the situation. Beginning, of course, with Rule Number One, and following it with Rule Number Two, and so forth. The implication of setting out these rules, and providing a semblance of structure by numbering them, is that they are resolute and unquestionable, and that breaking these rules will lead to dire consequences. Given the nature of storytelling, expect these rules to be bent or outright broken at some point before the story is done. Often quite ironically. Another situation is conveying advice or admonishments, such as with the Mentor Archetype or Old Master. In this case, the rules could be "don't use the Dangerous Forbidden Technique" or "always believe in yourself." They are likely to include Rule Zero: "I'm always right." One version of this trope became so popular that 90% of these will be Stock Shout-Outs to Fight Club — "Rule Number One of [X]: You do not talk about [X]" and/or "Rule Number One: [Y]. Rule Number Two: [Y]!" There Are No Rules is an inversion, although that itself is sometimes called "Rule #1" nonetheless. This can then be subverted by having other rules follow which are actually restrictive. The Thieves' Guild most often has each of its members adhere to certain numbered rules. For the other Rule Number One, see Old Master. Characters who live by The Rules are obviously on the Lawful side of Character Alignment, but there's nothing stopping them from being Lawful Good or Lawful Evil. In fact, expect the latter from the Obstructive Bureaucrat who can cite any Rule that justifies him/her not doing anything remotely reasonable or helpful. See also Things You Are Not Allowed to Do. |

Fight Club: "The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club." "The second rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club." Just in case you were curious. Because he doesn't want the ending spoiled. That's right, he was talking to YOU LOT. |

Harry taught Dexter a code to control his psychopathic tendencies. It had whole sections to make sure he only went after bad guys, but as he tells James Doakes toward the end of season 2 in response to the suggesting that he turn himself in, Rule Number One was always Don't Get Caught. According to Harry, that was the point of the whole endeavor, keeping Dexter alive; thus it's the first rule. Of course, no one wants anyone, even oneself, to know that he's turned his adopted son into a gory weapon of his own vigilantism. Not that it's cut-and-dried. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Given in one of the info pages is "The First Rule for survival outside of the safe areas: If you come across a Beast, a Troll or a Giant, do not run or call for help but stand still and stay silent. It might go away." We have yet to see an example of anyone following this rule in practice: Emil in particular usually does the exact opposite, probably with good cause. One can however imagine Lalli practicing the rule on his unseen solo excursions. However, at the beginning of Chapter 7, a cat does follow this rule to hide successfully from an infected dog. For a while. Sigrun also mentions the number one ground rule here: "We stay together!". What's funny is that moments later she completely dismisses that rule, even forgetting saying that at all. |

Rule number one is "never answer the phone". It continues in much the same vein, including the caller saying Richard would see him if he looked out the window and then, as Richard sees a distant flashbulb go off, explaining Rule four is "Never stand where you can be photographed", and: | |

In Terry Pratchett's novel Thief of Time, the elderly martial arts master Lu-Tze often reminds people about Rule One. Unfortunately for them, not everyone gets the message. Rule One is: "Never act incautiously when confronted by a little bald wrinkly smiling man!" Then there's Rule Nineteen, which is "Never forget Rule One, and ask yourself why it was invented in the first place." As you can probably guess, Lu-Tze is the reason Rule One exists, and you should never let his silly tricks or his habit of feigning helplessness make you forget Rule One. | |

And when his motorcycle is stolen, Batman tells him about another rule number one: Never leave the keys in the ignition.

Star Trek: The Ferengi are immensely fond of quoting Rules of Acquisition. Played with: the first Rule of Acquisition was presented as #162 - to create a demand for #1 through #161, and according to Quark's vision, they're only rules because the "Guidelines of Acquisition" doesn't have the same selling power. A complete list of the rules (canon and non-canon) can be found here. Ensign Robin Lefler, who appeared in one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "The Game", had "Lefler's Laws", a list of rules she made up for herself. She still uses them when she becomes a main character in Star Trek: New Frontier. The Prime Directive is the Federation's Rule Number One. Played for Laughs in Star Trek: Enterprise when our heroes are headed to Risa for shore leave and Trip wears a Hawaiian shirt that nearly makes T'Pol's ears bleed: |

The Acts of Caine: Matthew Stover's Caine has three rules. They really boil down to "I'm the boss and can kill you to maintain this authority", and serve more to operate as a coercive threat than as a code of behaviour. If he ever asks you "What's Rule Two?", then you are in deep shit. | |

The Transporter: The eponymous "transporter" Frank Martin has three rules: 1) don't alter the deal after it's been made. 2) No names. 3) Never open the package he's been asked to transport. All his troubles start when he breaks the third rule and finds the "package" is a Bound and Gagged young Asian woman. As a result, he ends up breaking the first two rules as well. In the sequel Frank has a Rule #4 which is "Never make a promise you can't keep." He promises to protect his young charge; when the boy is kidnapped, the Big Bad informs Frank he's going to have to break that rule. Fat chance. |

Schlock Mercenary: The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries. Rule one: Pillage, then burn. (It's important enough that Schlock makes a point of stating- once- "If they burn all of the best stuff, I'm going to be very unhappy.")

NCIS: Gibbs' various rules, cited by the characters throughout the show. A flashback revealed them to have been inspired by his future wife on the day they met. Kate and Ziva both requested that Gibbs write the rules down, only to be told that most of the rules are for day-to-day tasks. Rules in the forties are reserved for emergencies. TWO rules are apparently number one (and two rule number threes), likely due to an oversight on the part of the writers, although later confirmed to have been intentional. This was lampshaded when the female version of Gibbs from CGIS told McGee HER rule number one and suggested he write it down. McGee replies that rule number one has been taken, twice. The other one was inherited from Mike Franks, Gibbs' boss when he first became an NCIS Agent. Mike Franks told Gibbs that he didn't need a list of rules; he only needed "Three Golden Rules". It has not been revealed which of the rules are Gibbs' and which are Franks, nor has the second Rule Number 2. In one episode, other main characters remember Gibbs's rules through flashbacks, note that some of the numbers get taken more than once, or that two different number rules say the same thing, and start wondering if Gibbs just makes them up on the fly. Two episodes have shown Gibbs updating his rules: "Rule 51" is about the titular rule "Sometimes, you're wrong." "Rule 91", Mark Harmon's final episode as Gibbs, is also about the titular rule, which is an addendum to Rule 11 "When the job is done, walk away" which admitted to having following - "When you decide to walk away, don't look back". Abby Sciuto has her own Rule 1: Don't lie to Abby. |

Doctor Who: "Dragonfire": The Doctor welcomes a new companion: In the Doctor Who New Adventures novel Set Piece Ace, seemingly left with no choice but to kill the Doctor to save the universe, flashes back to this conversation (and occasions when the Doctor had to make similar decisions) and decides that the third rule — her rule — is "No-one deserves to be sacrificed". In the new series, the following is said to companions, not that they ever listen: In "Human Nature", the Doctor leaves a set of 23 numbered rules for Martha to follow while he's transformed into a human and unaware of his true identity. In actuality, there were only about five instructions in the script (as Martha fast-forwards through most of them), and David Tennant hilariously ad-libbed dialogue for the skipped parts. In the original Human Nature novel, the list the Doctor gave Benny only has nine rules on it. The five Tennant actually gives are there, including the one about pears. River Song's personal Rule One is "The Doctor lies." It turns out she was given that rule by the Doctor, along with Rule 7: "Never run when you're scared," Rule 27: "Never knowingly be serious," and Rule 408: "You should always waste time when you don't have any. Time is not the boss of you." The Doctor's friend Iris Wildthyme has "Wildthyme's Law Rule Number One", which changes every time to something pertinent to the current situation. Among other things, this rule has been "Grab the nearest bottle and hope for the best" and "A girl never knows when she may need to get the party started." In "Spyfall", the Doctor tells her companions that the first rule of espionage is "Trust no-one." Given that the Doctor is a natural rulebreaker, it's not surprising she forgets the rule and gets in trouble. The trope is amusingly lampshaded later on. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "The first rule of Slaying: Don't die!" Buffy breaks this one twice and is still around to be scolded by Giles. In "Real Me" Buffy states the Rule Number One of living in Sunnydale is "Do not invite blood-sucking dead people into your home!" Buffy breaks that rule too. |
