That’s _The Termimator_, not sure about the ‘blow it out your ass’ one. ---

_ **The Terminator** _ is correct. The line immediately preceding the one in the other movie is something like “Freeze! FBI! You are all under arrest!” (I haven’t seen the film in almost 50 years.) ---

One of my favorite lines from any movie, but the film is a little obscure, so I’ll give some hints. The line is a Mother Superior’s response justifying a course of action in an emergency that would take her out into the world. “Well, I **could** pray, but I think He’d rather I did something about it!” Hint: Unusual for the times, the film starred two actresses, and did not feature any actors prominently, albeit, it featured many prominent actors. One of the actresses was one of the most famous of Hollywood’s golden age, and the other was well-loved, but not an A-lister until she went on to have her own TV show. Oh, and though it’s a Hollywood film, the actress who actually says the line has a name that is preceded by “Dame.” ---

_ **The Nun’s Story** _, with Audrey Hepburn in the title role? ---

No, but good guess. It’s older than _A Nun’s Story._ ---

_ **The Song of Bernadette** _? ---

No. Not based on a real event (or an historical one, or whatever you want to call _Song of Bernadette_), albeit, incorporates a UL that was popular at the time. Also, has a subplot involving three character actors associated with three different Christmas films. And for the time, _astonishing_ special effects depicting extreme weather events, and some other really good effects that still look good today. ---

I challenge “Fuck you asshole” being a non-famous line. It’s one of the top 4 Arnold quotes in the movie. Unless you’re referring to Bill Paxton saying it at the beginning of the movie. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > “Lincoln, you’ve just freed the slaves again.” No one has guessed, so I’ll give the full quote and see if that helps. “Roger, Lincoln, you’ve just freed the slaves again. Request PAR approach.” ---

> [@terentii](#): > > “Blow it out your ass, motherfucker.” Still no idea? Here’s another line from the same movie: “I know exactly how Doc made his living, and the closest he ever came to the oil business was when he filled up at the friendly neighborhood gas station.” ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > “Roger, Lincoln, you’ve just freed the slaves again. Request PAR approach.” I thought that one would be easy, but not even a guess so far. From the same movie: “I can’t hear a thing. There’s too much noise. Hold on. We’re goin’ for broke!” ---

If you don’t get it from this, you never will: “Yes, it’s safe, it’s very safe, it’s so safe you wouldn’t believe it.” ---

Yes! Along with “Don’t you ever clean out this armpit of a room?” A lot of good lines in that movie!
