The _Seinfeld_ finale aired the night before my Spanish final in college. Because of that I always think,“No sopa para Usted!”

What are some of your favorite TV/movie lines in a foreign language?

The formal, to deny soup? Hmm. I don’t think I quite grasp what you’re asking, mostly because I don’t know if the line on Seinfield was actually in Spanish on the show or not. Are you asking what people’s favorite lines are that were spoken in another language, or to translate a favorite line into a otro idioma?

I’m asking: translate a favorite line into a foreign language.
