ELEKTRA

"You saved my life."
"No... you saved mine."

THE BLIND SIDE

"You changed that boys life."
"No... he changed mine."

HARDBALL

"You sure taught those kids a lot."
"No... they taught me."

Can anyone name other examples of this ham-fisted awful line/flipping dialogue trope? I know there are more. Every time I hear a variation of it, it's like a hammer to the eye.
