Don’t remember a thing about the movie except a line that goes something like this…"I didn’t know a thing about it until you just told me."It is driving me nuts…Help!

I think it happens quite a bit - one character spills their guts in a fit of guilt assuming the other knows all about it. Then person two kicks the confessor in the teeth by saying they didn’t know anything about it until just now.

The only example I can think of is Austin Powers and Alotta Fagina. She spills the plans and asks him how he knew “I didn’t, baby. You just told me.”

I am sure there are more examples out there.

sounds like a reaction to something gross just learned, like “Hey, you know about two girls one cup, right? It’s where…” Other person, in high dudgeon: “I didn’t until you just told me!!” with a big ‘FUCK!!’ at the beginning.

Whoops, never mind; I was just guesstimating, hoping to grease the gears.

There’s a line like that from _Valley Girl_ but I can’t find a clip to support my memory of it. Cage delivers the line to his bud when they’re looking out over the valley from a pulloff.

Pulp Fiction, maybe? After Bruce Willis leaves the fight, the taxi driver asks how it feels to kill a man, and he says he didn’t know about it (that his opponent had died) until she told him.
