A scene from It's a Wonderful Life 1946
Clarence

So you still think killing yourself would make everyone feel happier, eh?

George

Oh, I don't know. I guess you're right. I suppose it would have been better if I'd never been born at all.

Clarence

What did you say?

George

I said "I'd wish I'd never been born!"

Clarence

Oh, you mustn't say things like that. You...wait a minute. Wait a minute. That's an idea. [glances up toward Heaven] What do you think? Yeah, that'll do it. All right. [to George] You've got your wish. You've never been born. [snow stops falling and a strong gust of wind blows open the door] You don't have to make all that fuss about it.
