I was trying to think of famous, distinctive lines from movies. Lines that consist of only one word. Words that as soon as you hear them you think of that movie (assuming you’ve seen it). I have only been able to think of three so far: [“Plastics.”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061722/) [“Mawwiage.”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093779/) and, of course [“Rosebud.”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033467/) For the purposes of this thread I am not considering lines that consist of the name of one of the characters (it seems too easy) so something like [“Khaaaaaaaan!”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084726/) doesn’t count. So how about it. Can you think of some more? ---

It’s far from famous, but I always found the way Bergman delivers the line “Liverwurst!” in _Spellbound_ ridiculously memorable. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/famous-lines-from-movies-consisting-of-only-one-word/251394.md?page=2)
