final words
Last spoken utterance
Final words are the last things a person says before dying, or the concluding statement in a speech, document, or argument.
Deathbed utterances carry special weight—people search them for wisdom, reconciliation, or revelation: His final words were "I love you all".
In disputes, having the final word means making the last, often decisive, statement.
