_Evolution._ I’ve seen that movie dozens of times. ---

Yep, as a nurse, I get to drop that line, from time to time. ---

Yep. A friend of mine told me once that he uses that line sometimes when he’s at some business and he’s the only customer there. He said no one ever recognizes it. ---

For some reason, today I had a movie line stuck in my head, and I couldn’t remember what movie it was from. I figured I’d post it here and hope someone figured it out for me. Turns out that won’t be necessary, I remembered where it’s from. I’ll post it anyway. “Something’s coming.” ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > “Something’s coming.” Lots of people said something similar. Here’s a movie where somebody doesn’t just say it, they sing it – **West Side Story**. Both version, I think. ---

You’re right that it’s a very generic quote, and something like it has probably been said in many movies. _West Side Story_ is not the one I was thinking of. It was said by a woman when she saw a large, but ultimately friendly man (think Mongo from _Blazing Saddles_) approaching. ---
