"Our duty is to serve and protect you. We understand your feelings best. That's why you should use me or Croix to take your place. We are here for you. We will jump into danger so you don't have to. You cannot die, that's part of your duty."
"What did we do that's so praiseworthy? Not a thing. It was a question of simple arithmetic. Your life is worth more than ours. So we had to save it."
— Ned Land, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Harry: Why don't I drink the potion instead?
Dumbledore: Because I am much older, much cleverer, and much less valuable.

Joey: I hate to admit it, but he may have a point! Forget about, us, Yug!
Tristan: He's right, man! You've got bigger than to worry about. Don't waste all your energy on us!
Solomon Muto: Listen to reason! If you don't save yourself then we all lose. Now take your monsters back!
Tea: Yugi! You have to win this fight no matter what happens to us!

Andrew: All you need to know is that in the scheme of things, she is much more valuable to us than you are.
Sam: I take it you're as valuable as ever?
Andrew: Naturally.
Sam: So, if you two are being shot at, which bullet do I take?
Andrew: Well, you must try for both, of course.

Jerome-092: Sir, it's already overheating. I'll have to separate the core and align them manually when they need to blow.
Forge: Son, I have a feeling before this is over we'll need every last Spartan in the fight. I can do this. Report back to the ship.
Jerome-092: Good luck sir - it's been an honor.

Rex: Once Oversoul is activated and the pilot fuses with the core, there's no way back.
Ricon: That's why I should be the one to pilot the Sapphire Weapon, not you, Rex. Alfonse needs you. You and I both know I'm the least qualified pilot we have. There's less to lose if I don't make it back.

Scott Lang: He doesn't want to shut you out. He trusts you.
Hope Van Dyne: Then why are you here?
Scott Lang: It proves that he loves you. Hope, look at me. I'm expendable. That's why I'm here. You must have realized that by now. I mean, it's why I'm in the suit and you're not. He'd rather lose this fight than lose you.
