Here’s one for ya:
Ah, yes, Star Trek II. To be honest, I thought Star Trek I (hell, and the original Khan episode as well) was better than Number 2, but I suppose even-number purists would disagree.
Futurama: Zapp Brannigan single handedly saved the Octillion system from a horde of rampaging kill bots. Had you use Google there, but I remember this episode very well.
This is one of the great lines of all time. The point is that we don’t actually need to know what a c-beam is, or what/where the Tannhauser Gate is - the fact is, Roy saw them, and his memory (along with his life) is fading, and they will be lost forever.
Props to Rutger Hauer - he caught the essence of the story being told and expressed it words that convey the emotion, not sense.

Hey, the first one’s always free… 
Yeah, maybe the **Star Trek II ** quote was a bit vague. I guess in the spirit of the thread the response should have been, “GUY WHOSE NAME I CAAAAANNNN’T RECAAAAALLLL!” – not that it would have made your search much easier.
It’s a handy bit of dialogue to have memorized anyway, if you make a habit of marooning people in the center of dead planets. Plus, in the event that you’re ever wronged by somebody named Khan, you’ll know exactly how to respond. I have it written down in my wallet for just such an occasion, although when the time comes, I hope my memory is sufficient.
"You are traveling through some region or other; a region not of that thing, or that other thing, but of a completely different thing. A journey into an area exhibiting a particular adjectival quality, where the only boundaries are that of imagination. There’s an object up ahead… Next stop, “The region in which are found various extraordinary things that are imagination-related.”
Well, the joke was that my quote was exactly what Fry said when he first met Brannigan in that episode, evidently suffering the same memory problem as the OP.
Am not!
You already did!
A guy on another board that I read a bit has recently been viewing the 1080i HD version, and has a rather startling theory…
He says if you pause, and get close, you can see the replicant glow in the eyes of ALL the police forces tasked with dealing with the Replicants.
This guy is a fanatical fan, and this has totally thrown him for a loop.
Can a Dope confirm this one?
My favorite burrito place has an item called the “Wrap of Khan”. Ordering it is always fun.
And as soon as someone points this out to Ridley Scott, he’ll claim he intended it all along.
You people who are asking what c-beams are and where Tanhauser Gate is are completely missing the point. Roy saw them, and Roy died, and now those moments are lost and nobody knows the answers.
It’s kind of like Bilbo asking, “What have I got in my pocket?”. You’re not supposed to know; that’s the whole point.
Remember the noodle incident?
Nobody can prove he did that!
“Out there, away from Earth, no one can hear you yell really loud when you’re scared.”
“I just wish you had a little more confidence in this midichlorian-based universal energy field thingie that I’m really keen on, OK? That’s all.”
“HAL, could you, y’know, maybe let me back into the spaceship now, please?”
“You always were a pejorative word used to describe general jerkishness, Officer Name I Can’t Remember.”
“They, at some indeterminate frequency, appear during some time of day or other. At some indeterminate frequency.”
Damn. I’m not getting the ‘indeterminate frequency’ quote.
Sigh. One less geek point.
They mostly come out at night. Mostly.
“For greater certainty, I suggest we drop a nuclear weapon from safely above the atmosphere of this world.”
“Of all the folks I’ve met as I’ve gallivanted around the galaxy, this dead guy here was - ironically enough - one of the least… Vulcan.”
“Now that my Tibetan bar has been destroyed by your gunplay with those Nazi fellows, it would seem that we ought to begin a joint endeavor.”
“I like your proposal, Number One; kindly carry it out.”
“I will return shortly.”
Turn on the tingly lights, Scotty.
Y’all done took the best ones.
