History Main / LetMeGetThisStraight

** Played annoyingly straight in "[[Recap/{{Red Dwarf Season VI Rimmerworld}} Rimmerworld]]") where Rimmer does this '''repeatedly''' in the first part of the episode.

* In ''Series/iCarly'', after Spencer returns from the Groovy Smoothie to discover Griffin making out with Carly:

'''Rocky''': Couldn't agree more. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere And I]] ''[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere will]]'' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere be leaving that way]].

* ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. In Season 2, Oliver Queen has trouble explaining to his friends how Sara Lance could turn up NotQuiteDead when he told the world he saw her drown when the ''Queen's Gambit'' sank. His notorious reluctance to reveal what ''actually'' happened during the five years he was supposedly marooned on Lian Yu doesn't help.

* And once in ''Series/{{Angel}}'', by (of course) Cordy:

* The first episode of ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'' gently spoofs '''and''' {{justifie|dTrope}}s this: After [[GenkiGirl Nyarko]]'s explanation turns into [[MotorMouth nonsensical rambling]] that gets [[FastForwardGag fast-forwarded]], [[TheWatson Mahiro]] boils it all down to the key points for the sake of his own sanity.

-->'''King''': Let's back up a minute. You took the Sacred Treasure that was bestowed upon you by King Liones himself... (''to Meliodas'') ''And sold it?!''\\
'''Meliodas''': I needed seed money for the tavern.\\
'''King''': (''to Ban'') Yours was stolen?!\\
'''Ban''': When they threw my butt into that prison.\\
(''King turns to Diane, who covers her face with her hair in shame'')\\
'''Diane''': Am I a bad girl...?\\
'''King''': If it got misplaced, then it's not your fault.

* ''FanFic/FirstTrySeries'', Sakura tries to report Naruto for threatening her, but the clerk refuses to go along with it because she, an Academy student, tried to assault Naruto, who is a full-fledged Genin who unfortunately missed his Chunin promotion, and he let her off with a warning.

* ''FanFic/AnAlternateKeitaroUrashima'': Keitaro and Mutsumi discussing the old promise in Chapter 18:

* ''FanFic/BackToUs'': In Chapter 24, when Alya learns [[spoiler:Adrien is Cat Noir, she has this reaction upon being told Ivan is the only other person who knows it]].

--->'''Penelope:''' So let me get this straight. The Hit Wizards tried to arrest you because some shady bloke, whom they just had killed, was talking to you and when your girlfriend stops one of them from kicking you on the ground, the Ministry makes you public enemy number one?
--->'''Harry:''' That sounds about right.

-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' So let me get this straight. It's pretty dark. It's kinda scary. And it reeeeally stinks. ''[nervous laugh]'' And they want me to follow them where?

-->'''Financial Advisor:''' Let me get this straight. You took all the money you made franchising your name, and bet it ''against'' the Harlem Globetrotters?\\

** Used by Jenny in the first SeasonFinale.

* This is the premise of [=Sarah1281=]'s ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4347535/1/Run_that_by_me_again Run That by Me Again?]]'', which gives Hermione (and occasionally Harry) the gift of Logical Thinking.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8904050/4/A-Muggle-Technicality A Muggle Technicality]]'':
-->'''Harry:''' Right. Let me get this straight. Dumbledore is an utter hypocrite and you want to use an incredibly dodgy technicality in order to manipulate the wizarding world and I'm somehow to be ok with being manipulated, despite the fact that I know that what you're doing is possibly illegal and definitely immoral, because it gets me away from Privet Drive?
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12065887/7/Friend-or-Foe Friend or Foe]]'' Harry discovers that he's the heir of Slytherin (by conquest) and Gryffindor while Hermione is the heir of Ravenclaw.
-->'''Sirius:''' Let me get this straight. You two are now the owners of 75% of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, are two of the wealthiest people in the kingdom, and plan on taking out Dumbledore?
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5682705/23/Cooking-Lesson Cooking Lesson]]'' Remus informs Sirius that Xander and Spike mated the same night Giles and Remus did.
-->'''Sirius:''' So let me see if I have this right. You're mated to a Muggle who can use a type of mage magic who has basically adopted a boy who's been possessed by a primal alpha female and some sort of super soldier who got himself a mate on the same night that's a 150 or something year old vampire?
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12892967/1/Nagini-s-Children-ch-1-to-8 Nagini's Children]]'':
-->'''Harry:''' So you're telling me that Dumbledore arranged for a fake birth certificate, killed my grandfather, stashed me with my rotten relatives so that he could claim I was born to fulfill some fake prophecy?
* in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11848259/1/Path-Of-Shadows Path of Shadows]]'' Harry runs through the Veil after Sirius and meets Death, who removes the [[SoulJar Horcrux]] from Harry's scar.
-->'''Harry:''' So let me get this straight. You want me to go back, find all the other horcruxes, keep them together and give them back to you, without knowing where are they at and having virtually no way to obtain them. Oh and let's not forget that Voldemort is out for my blood and so will block anything I do to kill him.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10888928/5/Harry-Potter-Half-born Harry Potter: Half-born]]'':
-->'''Harry:''' So James is suing Vivienne for custody of me, Puck was going to be kidnapped, but escaped and somehow got his eye back, and I'm a half-elf now, is that about right?\\

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12774582/10/Dawn-of-Darkness Dawn of Darkness]]'':
-->'''Penelope:''' So let me get this straight. The Hit Wizards tried to arrest you because some shady bloke, whom they just had killed, was talking to you and when your girlfriend stops one of them from kicking you on the ground, the Ministry makes you public enemy number one?
-->'''Harry:''' That sounds about right.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12355498/3/Death-of-the-Wrong-Boy Death of the Wrong Boy]]'':
-->'''Amelia:''' Let me get this straight. You are officially disowning Harry so that Jamie, who is being blood adopted and made Sirius' heir, can also be made the Potter heir at the same time and you are doing this because Jamie is the Boy-Who-Lived and therefore deserves to be the heir of two houses?

* in ''Fanfic/FrozenHearts'', [[OriginalCharacter Johan]] says this about [[{{Disney/Frozen}} Hans]]' plan to return to Arendelle.

* Timon in ''Disney/TheLionKing'': "Let me get this straight. You know her. She knows you. [[CarnivoreConfusion But she wants to eat him]]. And everybody is okay with this? ''Did I miss something?!''"
* In ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', this is implied to be what Kristoff means when he hears about Anna's whirlwind engagement to Hans and says, "HANG ON! You mean to tell me you got engaged to someone you just met that day?!"
* In ''Disney/BigHero6'', a skeptical cop listening to Hiro's story: "Alright, let me get this straight. A man in a kabuki mask attacked you with an army of miniature flying robots..."
* ''Disney/WreckItRalph'': Ralph, upon learning that Vanellope doesn't know how to drive a racing car.

* ''Disney/TheLionKing'': "Let me get this straight. You know her. She knows you. [[CarnivoreConfusion But she wants to eat him]]. And everybody is okay with this? ''Did I miss something?!''"

-->'''Lindy''': They must be cracked! Nobody's gonna believe that line of bull. Let me get this straight. In ten minutes, I'm supposed to have taken the baby back to the tent, put her down, put on my tracksuit pants, right? Then carted her off to the car, and cut her throat, cut her head off, with the nail scissors mind you, stuffed her body in the camera bag - have you seen the size of that, by the way? And I hurry up and clean up the blood out of the car, and then picked up a can of baked beans because Aidan, who's been here, presumably, all the time, watching, I suppose, is still hungry. So I take him back to the tent and take off my tracksuit pants and sprinkle blood - my own baby's blood - round the tent, and on Reagan. And then... When do I make the little dingo tracks round the tent? Round that time, I suppose. Then we have a happy race back to the barbecue as if nothing had happened.

-->'''Mr. Barker''': Now, what is this dingo supposed to have done? It managed, if her story is true, to kill the baby in the bassinet, drag it from the basket, shake her head vigorously at the entrance to the tent, then carry her off in such a way that left virtually no clues in the tent in the way of blood or hairs or anything else. It left no blood or drag marks at the entrance to the tent. It was able to pass by the child's mother, in full view, without disclosing or revealing it was carrying a baby. It managed to kill the child, with all the buttons of the jump suit done up, and then, if you accept Professsor Cameron, it buried the body, having undone one top button. So all in all, ladies and gentlemen, it was not only a dextrous dingo, it was a very tidy dingo.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E15HomieTheClown Homie the Clown]]" gives us this gem.
