Pick your favorite fictional examples of a character saying something to another character that conveys the sentiment "I love you" but without them using the words "I love you."

One example: in "My Fair Lady", Higgins saying "Eliza, where the devil are my slippers?" or "I've grown accustomed to her face."

"I know"
- Han Solo in Star Wars, to Princess Leia

Yeah yeah, too obvious, but still :) So in-character.

lol this came to my mind first as well

"If this was a cowboy movie, I'd give you my boots. You're my pal, Hutch."

Said by Starsky, when he's dying, in Starsky and Hutch.

"It's just that our mental pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input patterns."

Said by Riker, to Data, after the crew finds information from the future about Data's impending death, in Star Trek TNG.

"As long as I got a job, you got a job, you got that?"

Said by Leo, to Josh, in The West Wing.

Josh: "If you were in the hospital, *I* wouldn't stop to get a beer."
Donna: "If you were in the hospital, I wouldn't stop for red lights."

-The West Wing, again

"My father gave this [Thanksgiving carving knife] to me, and his father gave it to him, and now I'm giving it to you."

Bartlet, to Charlie, in The West Wing (this show was really good at this, huh?)

Also The West Wing, the whole scene where Sam schools Ainsley on gun control, especially the shoulder bump Josh gives him right after.

Well, I can't let this one pass by without mentioning the prototypical example: "As you wish" (Wesley to Buttercup in The Princess Bride.)

I'd also say that on Supernatural, "Bitch"/"Jerk" and "Idjits" definitely qualify, though not in a romantic sense.

WESLEY T_T <3

Uh, isn't it Westley, though?

“I'm with you to the end of the line, pal.” (SORRY)

“We'll do something.” (Teen Wolf)

(I know I've seen and loved a million examples of this but I'm blanking... Maybe the Chief/Cortana scenes in Halo 4? And Kirk and Spock have done this a lot.)

You're not sorry, not even a little bit.

Okay, okay, no I'm not.

Plus, “Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone.”
“You're taking all the stupid with you!”
And the hug and, “Punk” and “jerk”. It was very sweet.

DON'T BE SORRY

I'M NOT SORRY

I'M WITH YOU TO THE END OF THE LINE

*sniff*

*sniff*

*BAWL*

Ugh. I can't remember the exact quote, but when Steve was on the bridge and Sam says that bit about Bucky not being the kind you save, and Bucky not knowing him? And Steve says, “He will.” I think he even smiles a bit. To Steve there is no maybe, he's succeeding! And when he knows it isn't likely he decides death is a better option than having to kill Bucky and/or live in a world where he doesn't know him.

Plus, he wastes so much time on trying to take Bucky out without harming him in any irreparable way. It's amazing he didn't actually run out of time and doom millions of people to death because he refused to kill his best friend.

Oh anon... Will we ever get over this movie? We will EVER? Until we do, let's be with each other (until the end of the line). ~~I'm terrible.~~

" I'm with you till the end of the line." Steve and Bucky to each other. ~~/notsorry~~

" I know." Han Solo to Leia.

" I have to protect the one thing I can't live without. You." Tony to Pepper.

Ugh, Tony in Iron Man 3 killed me. I loved seeing Pepper in the suit even if it was only a minute, and that Tony thought to protect her in an emergency... My heart.

He was a mess but still trying to do the right thing and man it was nice to actually see repercussions from being a superhero(which we also got hints of in Cap 2 as well, the MCU man, ugh). Yesssss her in the suit was fantastic, and I too loved that his first action was to get her out of harms way knowing that she would protect him in return.

30 Rock, Jack Donaghy to Liz Lemon:

Lemon, there is a word, a once special word that’s been tragically co-opted by the romance industrial complex, and I would hate to use it here and have you think that I am suggesting any type of romantic sentiment, let alone an invitation to scale bone mountain. It’s a word that comes to us by way of the old high German "luba" from the Latin "lubera" meaning "to be pleasing." So I’m going to use this word to describe how I feel about you in the way that our Anglo-Saxon forefathers would have used it in reference to say "hot bowl of bear meat" or "your enemy's skull split."

YES.

Ooo, I also feel like “You're stuck with me Rodney, just accept it” fits. And Rodney's follow up, “You're a good friend, Arthur.”

Plus, John not allowing Rodney to sacrifice himself for his sister and then all but talking a man into letting himself be murdered so Rodney's sister can be saved (And Rodney won't keep trying to risk his own life)... Uh, that's about the most fucked up “I love you” ever.

OMG yes. The moment that spawned a billion fics. I ship everything for SGA but when the show went there--John manipulating a man into suicide for Rodney--just wow.

From Starsky & Hutch: "If this was a cowboy movie, I'd give you my boots."

(if this doesn't make sense, it's because Starsky says this to Hutch when he believes he's going to die in a few hours.)

LET ME BE YOUR WINGS~♪

Let me be your only love

*sniffle*

<3

Just about any interaction between Troy and Abed.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Ghost.

DITTO.
