Life, uh, finds a way.
Hail to the king baby.
Hello there
I know
I don’t know this
Tap for spoiler
The Princess Bride, obviously!

(I didn’t actually know that off the top of my head. I ran across a site that apparently indexes movie clips by sentence and picks a random line every time you reload the page. It happened to load a search for “hello there” and that was one of the first five results that it shows you before telling you to pay for an account. The other four results were Far From Heaven, Annie (2014), Hellboy II, and The Mask, BTW.)
(And yes, I know you meant to be referencing Obi-Wan’s line in Star Wars.)
Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won’t be recognized.
“What is your favorite color?” is the best I can do.
She’s got huge tracts of land
My best efforts from the script, but it ultimately goes to show that you’re right:
- Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long.
- That’s enough music for now, lads. Looks like there’s dirty work afoot.
- Well, this is the main hall. We’re going to have all this knocked through, and made into one big living room.
Don’t even need a few words, “Elderberries”.
Edited for clarity.
Still doesn’t work. Elderberries are synonymous with the Holy Grail, at least in places where elderberries aren’t common.
I meant elderberries to be an example for OPs post, to show nearly the entire script of holy Grail is easily recognizable, even using single word quotes.
Of course it’s a good idea!
“Who goes there?” and “It’s only a model” could work without any more context. But I think I would go with “Oh, don’t be such a baby” even with context I think lots of people won’t immediately recognize this.
Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
“Negative, I am a meat popsicle.”
?
The Fifth Element
“Aziz, Light!”
Still yell this when walking into a dark room.
My word is like my balls. I don’t break em for nobody!
Khaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnn!
Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for SEGA.
My claim to a brush with celebrity is that I used to know Michael Rooker, who played the guy who got pretzeled.
His biggest role, however, was playing Mary Poppins.
This movie just has line after quotable line
COME. Out. Of. The. Spaceship.
You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
Aaaand now I’m sad.
That’s no moon.
“This episode was badly written!”
“It always stopped at one on the show.”
What’s your favorite scary movie?
