View Full Version : The Lines That Define

We all know them. They're the lines from movies or t.v. shows that utterly define them.

You can't bring up the Wizard of Oz without thinking of
"There's no place like home."
"I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too."

Mention Sherlock Holmes, and I'm sure you can hear Basil Rathbone's distinctive voice saying, "Elementary, my dear Watson."

Sometimes, those lines live on in other medium.
The Day the Earth Stood Still gave us "Klatuu Verada Nikto", which appeared in an episode of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where Donatello met a family of aliens named Klatuu, his wife, Verada, and his son, Nikto.
And of course, it was the magical words that Ash flubbed in Army of Darkness. "Klatuu Verada Necktie!"

And sometimes, of course, those lines are spoilers that forever give away the secret of the film. I knew, for instance, that "Soylent Green is People!" before I ever saw that classic film.

What are some other examples of defining lines that you can think of?

"Luke, I am your father"
"45 Magnum, most powerful handgun in the world. Could blow a man's head right off. Let me ask you something. You feelin' lucky, punk?"
"Hakuna Matata"
"I'm sick and tired of these Mother ****in snakes, on this mother ****in plane!!"
"Can we fix it? Yes we can!"
"Make it so" "Engage"

and of course a fairly new one - "WHY SO SERIOUS??"
