Can I Say It Just Once or "Get Over Here" TikTok Trend refers to a viral lip-dub sound on TikTok consisting of a fighter intro from Mortal Kombat 11 where Cassie Cage asks Scorpion, "Can I say it just once?" followed by Scorpion saying, "Only if you wish to suffer." She then says his catchphrase, "Get over here," in a gruff tone. The clip was uploaded to TikTok in May 2022 and went viral that month, inspiring over 80,000 videos in two weeks.

Origin

If Cassie Cage fights against Scorpion (with or without the skin) one of the possible intros has her ask Scorpion if she can "say it just once," referring to his catchphrase "get over here." Scorpion says, "only if you wish to suffer" followed by Cassie saying the line (shown below, without skin left, with skin right).
