The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

— Ichigo, Bleach
"Yet you do not deny the accusation," said O-Tar.
"It is not worthy the dignity of a denial," she responded haughtily.
"And I were you, woman," said a deep voice at her side, "I should, nevertheless, deny it."
Tara of Helium turned to see the eyes of U-Thor, the great jed of Manatos, upon her. Brave eyes they were, but neither cold nor cruel. O-Tar rapped impatiently upon the arm of his throne. "U-Thor forgets," he cried, "that O-Tar is the jeddak."
"U-Thor remembers," replied the jed of Manatos, "that the laws of Manator permit any who may be accused to have advice and counsel before their judge."

Tucker: Creepy hospital, ghosts guarding the joint… still, no sign Danny's in any real danger.
Danny (echoing): Let me GO!
Tucker: Still, technically not a cry for help.
Danny: HELP!
Tucker: Well, not a cry for me.
Danny: TUCKER!!!
Tucker: Ah, dang.
"Let me help." A hundred years or so from now, I believe, a famous novelist will write a classic using that theme. He'll recommend those three words even over "I love you."
— Captain James T. Kirk, Star Trek: The Original Series, "City on the Edge of Forever". Spock uses those words an episode or two later.
Twilight Sparkle: Before you go, I was wondering if you might be willing to help Rainbow Dash. She's really struggling with her animals.
Fluttershy: But... I don't really know anything about animals...
Twilight Sparkle: But you do know something about Rainbow Dash.
Fluttershy: I... know that she's a true friend, and I'll do anything I can to help her!
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend
When you're alone, who comes around
To pluck you up when you are down?
And when you're outside looking in, who's there to open the door?
That's what friends are for
—The Jungle Book (1967), "That's What Friends are For"

—Pact
Still wilt thou wrong the sacred name of friend?
Then should'st thou never style it friendship more:
But base mechanic traffic that doth lend,
Yet will be sure they shall the debt restore.note

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found

And friends just can't be found

Wilbur: Oh, Charlotte, why did you do all this for me? I've never done anything for you.
Charlotte: You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.
Ryoken: My business is my business and none of yours or this train at all! Why are you even bothering with my traumatized underling like Specter?
