Not only is that the most famous line from _Some Like it Hot_, I’ve heard it called the funniest closing line of any movie, ever. Personally, I’m partial to “Stand still, Godfrey.

I’m not sure if it was in Pee-Wee’s movie, but the one I’m thinking of was an older movie. ---

Another one where I can visualize the scene, describe the context, and name the actors, but would still have to look up the title. ---

> [@Pavelb1](#): > > “What took you so long?” > “Traffic was a bitch” That’s at the end of _The Player_. It’s in the movie-within-the-movie; Bruce Willis arrives in the nick of time to save Julia Roberts from the gas chamber. I don’t recall what the movie-within was called, though. ---

Yeah…i was thinking about making a trick question to see if anyone could get it but opted out. something like “Its the last line of the movie, also the last line of the movie is the name of the movie.” The real last line being “Hmmm…The Player.” ---

The movie within the movie is called _Habeus Corpus_. I did check myself and I had it right. ---
