I saw the movie at least a half dozen times when I was a kid. The line is,

“I said it once, I’ll say it again: I never wanted to move to California.”

**Trivia challenge:** In the same movie, who utters the line “We’re closed.”

_Two For The Road_ (1967) Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn in what some call Stanley Donen’s best film.

Here’s a more recent (2015) non-famous line in a non-famous film:

_ **“I am a T-Rex! I am invincible!!”** _
