In a related vein, “Bogus!” and “Excellent!” can work for **Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure** if delivered with the proper Keanau-Reeves-breathless-non-acting exhale. 😉 ---

Actually I was wondering about a similar thread with distinctive two word lines instead of one word lines. It seems a lot harder to me. Did anyone besides **bienville** read the OP? We’re trying to avoid lines consisting of the names of characters, folks. “Stella”, “Adrian”, “Khaaan!” and “Beetlejuice” are all out. So would be [“Ben!”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/), [“Gandalf!”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120737/) and [“Indy!”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082971/) or [“Indy!”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087469/) or [“Indy!”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097576/). I can’t believe I didn’t think of _Braveheart_. ---
