Ok... I'm willing to bet that everyone here has said "I'll Be Back" in a reference to Arnold's line in The Terminator...

What other lines have you picked up and use time and time again from movies, books, or TV shows?

Probably the most unhelpful bit of advice ever given at the climax of a movie. 🤣 In the movie, Matthew Broderick even mumbles "I know" as if he's dealing with an idiot.

I use this line whenever someone gives obvious and completely useless advice, but wants to make it look like they're contributing. Or when I have nothing useful to offer. And then when no one else gets it (because no one ever does), I laugh to myself.

That particular quote is one of my absolute favorites from Firefly, especially because it's delivered as almost a throwaway line in the background.

Yeah, it's funny on it's own, and the offhanded delivery is great, but he really expressed the angst of "not a danged thing here." :)
