Awesomely well played, but we might have to have a blindfolded nunchuck fight over road trip being two separate words.

No, different movie; but when I saw the topic of one-word movie lines it was the first that jumped into my head.

Just in case it’s NSFW:[spoiler][https://youtu.be/Pdi\_kASSsJs[/spoiler]](https://youtu.be/Pdi_kASSsJs%5B/spoiler%5D)

Most definitely a zero-word dialogue between Bob Hoskins and Pierce Brosnan in the final minute of [“The Long Good Friday”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9SG-zYvPjk).

One of the great end sequences in cinema.

_Ferris Bueller’s Day Off_

(repeated) “Bueller…”

For a very subtle “look” that had a _total_ sledgehammer effect on this viewer - in _Clockwork Orange_, while Macdowell is getting his first injection for the Ludovico treatment, he asks doc if it will be like going to the movies. I still get goosebumps when thinking of the way she she looks at him and fixes him with the most sublty forbidding, mordant look and responds, “something like that”.

If one word repeated counts, then I nominate “Attica! Attica!” (_Dog Day Afternoon_).
