History Main / FinishingEachOthersSentences

* ''Series/{{Forever}}'': [[SupernaturallyYoungParent Henry]] and [[CoolOldGuy Abe]] finish each other's sentences when making up an on-the-spot cover story of how they know each other.

** Castor and Pollux Stone, twin brothers from ''Literature/TheRollingStones'', do the same to their father's annoyance.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' do this when they try to stop Mojo Jojo from taking over the world with an Anubis head:

* ''Fanfic/TheMeaningOfOne'' features Harry and Ginny as MindlinkMates who turn it UpToEleven, able to interweave ''individual words'' into a seamless sentence when they want to.

* Literature/TommyAndTuppence do this in "The Case of the Missing Lady", when discussing their plans to break into a supposed clinic run by a suspected kidnapper:

'''Tuppence''': What we shal see.

'''Fury:''' (jumping uppercut to Hitler's crotch)\\

'''Both''': --is all but inpossible!

** In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', they sometimes do this, though more usually follow from one sentence to the next - which can still be a slightly disturbing double act.
** ''Fanfic/TheMeaningOfOne'' features Harry and Ginny as MindlinkMates who turn it UpToEleven, able to interweave ''individual words'' into a seamless sentence when they want to.

* {{Subverted}} and {{parodied}} in the Finnish (largely pun-based, so this only almost works in English) comic strip ''Fingerpori'', where it turns out to mean that the old couple terminates each other's sentences by interrupting them with "Shut up."

* The Weasley Twins from ''Literature/HarryPotter'' are popularly portrayed this way in fan fiction, even though they're '''''not''''' an example in canon. They don't complete each other's sentences in the books; rather, one will follow the other with the next appropriate sentence -- they do not share a single mind, but simply think very much alike. The movies are more guilty of playing it straight, however.
** The ideal is {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'', which features a section focusing on the Twins and indicating something magical is at work. They don't actually share one mind but come to the same conclusions when they have the same information. When one of them thinks differently than the other, they both feel uncomfortable until they share what they know and snap back.
** In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', they sometimes do this, though more usually follow from one sentence to the next - which can still be a slightly disturbing double act.
** ''Fanfic/TheMeaningOfOne'' features Harry and Ginny as MindlinkMates who turn it UpToEleven, able to interweave ''individual words'' into a seamless sentence when they want to.
* In ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1318624/chapters/2742667 A Not So Ordinary Day]]'' Remus states that Sirius and James were like that sometimes.
* While Italy and Japan reminisced about their pasts in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]'', they basically were finishing each other's sentences. Germany was not pleased.

-->'''Sette:''' Locks all flash the same locks on their outsides, but each of 'em's got their own secret hidden ''inside''. Just like P--\\
'''Dawn:''' Like People!\\
'''Sette:'''Like '''pies!'''

'''Steak:''' --[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Ice cream beef!]] Ice cream beef makes your teeth go grey!\\

* The Fates from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' do this, most noticeably in their introduction, when they're giving Hades the prophecy.

* The twins in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInAChristmasCarol''.
* Princessses Hadley and Isla from ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheTwelveDancingPrincesses'' are identical twins who frequently engage in this.

* ''Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear''. [[BattleCouple Kirika Akatsuki and Shirabe Tsukuyomi]] have a habit of engaging in this with each other.

'''Michael''': That time I was gonna say sandwiches.\\

-->'''Michael''': She's a little more like me. It's like we finish each other's...
'''Lindsay''': Sandwiches.
'''Michael''': Sentences. Why would I say...
'''Lindsay''': Sandwiches?
'''Michael''': That time I was gonna say sandwiches.

* ''Series/{{BetweenTheLions}}'': Neither Walter nor Clay Pigeon manage to say complete sentences without each other's help, which is their main character trait owing to their dim-witted nature.

* In ''Manga/DetectiveConan'', whenever Conan and Heiji get to work together in a case they will often finish each other's deductions, demonstrating not only abilities as detectives, but also their familiarity with each other.

* Bash and Dash from ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine''. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in "Toby and Bash"; when Bash has to work with Toby for the day instead of Dash, he has so much trouble finishing any of his sentences that Toby has to figure out what Bash is trying to say.

-->'''Bob''': Where are my damn--\\

-->'''Bob:''' Where are my damn--\\

** Used to highlight the [[NotSoDifferent similarities]] between Sylvia and Commander Peepers in "The Battle Royale" as they [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder talk about Wander and Hater's reckless actions]] in one continuous sentence.
