Title drop
A Title drop, also known as a titular line,[1][2] is a line of dialogue in a film, television series, book or other media containing the title.[3][4][5] It often indicates the scene has a special significance or can be a "penny drop" moment explaining the title.
Sometimes the title drop can happen at the finale, for example in The Breakfast Club where the final line is "Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club".,[6] or Iron Man where the final line is "I am Iron Man."[7]
