"I'm not ready" ... "Not yet"

There's a wonderfully, darkly humorous scene in High Society (1956) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049314/(see previous blog entry):

Mike (Frank Sinatra) and Tracy (Grace Kelly) are driving quickly down the highway in Tracy's convertible. Tracy is driving.
Mike: Where are we going.
Tracy: To the graveyard.
Mike: I'm not ready.

I laughed ... and then winced. This could be the story of my life since Momma died ... and this reminds me of Gladiator (2000) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0172495/ Juba (Djimoun Hounsou) gives the final lines, as he buries the figurines of Maximus (Russell Crowe) parents after Maximus death:

Juba: I will see you again. But not yet ... not yet.
