Of course everyone likes “I’ll be back” in Terminator. But I always end up with a favorite line that other people just pass right over. What are yours? ex: “niggers with screwdrivers” - Pulp Fiction “I like the Austrian way better” - Indiana Jones III ---

“I think he just said something.” The gang are on the road, and one of the veterans on the team tells newbie Luke about “The Man With No Eyes,” and how he never talks.

At which point Luke replies, “I think he just said something.” It actually sort of ties in with the “failure to communicate” line, too, especially at the end of the movie. ---
