Our hero is about to go into a dangerous situation. Cue the hero's best friend or a mentor figure reminding the hero just how dangerous it's going to be and warning them to be cautious. If it is a friend or loved one without specialized knowledge of the threats, the message will be about being careful and coming home safe. If the message is from a mentor or commanding officer, they may give more detailed advice on how to deal with risks. In the latter case, there may be clues dropped about the challenges the hero will face. See also Try Not to Die. Examples |

In Felix Salten's Bambi, Bambi's mother warns him that "walking on the meadow is not so simple. It's a difficult and dangerous business." She instructs him to run if he sees her run, or "...even if something should happen... even if (you) should see me fall to the ground..." Which of course, eventually, he does. | |

In Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason novels, Della Street (his secretary), Paul Drake (his private investigator), and Lt. Tragg (a homicide detective), all often advise him to be careful to avoid arrest or disbarment. He rarely listens. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe Daredevil. In "The Path of the Righteous", Matt Murdock tells this to Karen Page after finding out she's been digging up the Dark and Troubled Past of Wilson Fisk. Given that Matt is covered in bruises which he refuses to explain, Karen replies that maybe he should follow his own advice. The trope is lampshaded in Season 3 when Karen admits she likes being treated as an innocent in need of protection, because with her own Dark and Troubled Past she feels anything but. After revealing to Matt that she killed James Wesley, Karen is not happy when she goes off to do something dangerous and doesn't get this trope from Matt, who only notes that she can clearly look after herself. Realising he's messed up, Matt gives a belated "Be careful" as she's walking out. In The Punisher Karen herself tells Frank Castle to "Be careful" right after she suggests he might not care about that. This is after the events of the The Defenders when Karen is still mourning Matt's apparent death. |

In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka regularly tells the group they need to be careful, not to touch anything, not to enter certain places, not to get overexcited, etc. as they travel from room to room. Of course, most of his charges easily forget his warnings or outright ignore them... | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor gives his companions (and just about everyone else he meets) this speech all the time. The companions also frequently feel the need to give the Doctor the same speech. It usually doesn't help much. Lampshaded when Yazmin Khan tells the Doctor this in "The Power of the Doctor", causing her to muse that she's normally the one to give this advice. Sure enough, the Doctor is then captured by the Daleks. | |

Tim Drake finds himself trying to remind his allies of the danger of the situation they're about to enter distressingly often, especially in the early days of Young Justice where he was the team leader and responsible for Superboy, who only had his tactile telekinesis at that point as his Kryptonian powers had yet to start coming in and was a boisterous Fun Personified "teen", and Impulse who was a dangerously impulsive Cloudcuckoolander speedster with no sense of danger whatsoever due to being raised in a virtual reality. | |

Star Trek: Voyager. In "The Omega Directive", Captain Janeway has to go on a classified solo mission but refuses to explain anything to her crew. She demands a hypospray of Fantastic Radiation Shielding and curtly overrules the Doctor when he objects that it's dangerous. However the Doctor earns Puppy-Dog Eyes when he gives this trope. | |
