I saw it in my head just reading it. Absolutely moving.

I can't get through ::: spoiler (other scene) Sam's monologue ::: With dry eyes either. That speech has kept me going, so many times. I've even posted it in various places on Lemmy as a counter to the sheer hopelessness and defeatism (understandably) pervading a lot of threads.

I often consider getting it wholly or partially inscribed on me.

::: spoiler spoiler


(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.

generallynonsensical@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Don't even need a few words, "Elderberries".

Edited for clarity.

snoons@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Still doesn't work. Elderberries are synonymous with the Holy Grail, at least in places where elderberries aren't common.

generallynonsensical@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 1y

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.

"What is your favorite color?" is the best I can do.

papalonian@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Even this depends on diction.

"What is your favorite color?" - School teacher.

"WHAT- is your favorite color?" - Bridge Keeper

Nibodhika@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

"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.

  • 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.
