The “Just…just wake up,” is probably from **Inception** , which I haven’t seen.

More last lines:

“I-firmative.”

“He said there’s a storm coming in.” “I know.”

“I’m in a world of shit… yes. But I am alive. And I am not afraid.”

“Ernest Hemingway once wrote, “The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.” I agree with the second part.”

This is Spinal Tap ? I didn’t think that was the last line though.

Terminator

Full Metal Jacket

“He’s a natural born world shaker.”  
“Well (name that would make it too easy), the bird’s flightless?”  
“Yes.”  
“It’s not going anywhere.”

**Seven**  
These might’ve been done already:

“You met me at a very strange time in my life.”

“And then I woke up.”
