Let's be honest with ourselves. If it weren't for movies, Planet Earth would be a dark and empty place (like Jessica Simpson's head or Amelia Earhart's casket). What would the sorority world be like without The Notebook? Martial arts without The 3 Ninjas? My life without You Got Served? They give us hope, happiness, hairstyles, and a whole heeping heck of a lot more. Alliteration aside, movies supply the world with an endless amount of quotes. A strategically-used movie quote can pick up an attractive lady, pump up your sports team, make you look smart, get a hilarious laugh at a party, etc. But a quote misused can do some extreme damage. So, lay your jacket on the seat next to you, get out the Starbursts you snuck in, and tap your feet on the sticky floor under you as I list some of the most famous movie lines of all time and situations in which they should not be said.
"I'll be back." -Arny, The Terminator
This is possibly the most famous movie quote of all time. The Governator used it as his campaign slogan and look at where he is now. But this line isn't perfect for every situation. Let's say you are a bank robber and you are robbing a bank yelling into the bulletproof glass at the terrified little teller girl who dropped out of community college and you demand for all of the money in the safe. She whimpers to you that she can't let you in because the only person with the code to the safe is the bank manager. This enrages you terribly because you are a bank robber and you have anger problems and childhood issues. So you yell at her for being difficult and you bang your gun against the glass like a madman. Then you ask her when the manager will be back and slip your phone number in the slot so she can call you when he gets there so you can come back and steal all of the money. This is when you look her dead in the eye from behind your ski mask and say: "I'll be back."
