The last line of _Goldfinger_ was “Do you want them to find us?” or something similar. Here are the last two lines from the end of a popular movie. BE5: “A storm is coming.” / “I know.” And a one-liner: BE6: “We’ve got all the time in the world.” ---

Whoosh, smoosh. I knew you were being facetious, but your answer reminded me of the actual ending of _Goldfinger_. Sean Connery and Honor Blackman have parachuted out of Goldfinger’s crashing plane and when the rescue helicopter comes looking for them, Blackman waves at them but is yanked under the parachute by Connery, who says something along the lines of “Do you want them to find us?” and proceeds to score some post-movie action. I didn’t use the line as one of my **BE** questions because I don’t remember exactly how it goes. ---

[hijak] In the screenplay for _Apocalypse Now_ the movie doesn’t end there. In fact it has quite a different ending! I’m not gonna waste posting space here but for fans of the movie I suggest looking it up on any of the various movie script sites. 😃 I think you’ll see it’s rather amusing… “He was referring to you ma’am.” [/hijak] B!1: “Pearline, yor in da way honey. Why dont’cha go in da udd’r room and read ja book?” followed by a book quote [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guess-the-movie-from-the-closing-line/143965.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guess-the-movie-from-the-closing-line/143965.md?page=3)
