At least i’m pretty sure it’s a quote from a movie. I picture Will Smith saying this in my head, but it’s not definite It’s green, man, it’s green. (with stress on each “green”) I have nothing else to go on so I know this is a longshot, but it’s driving me crazy. Feel free to roll your eyes and move along. ---

Just a guess (and definitely not Will Smith), but how about Slater from _Dazed and Confused_, talking about the dollar bill: Slater: Didja ever look at a dollar bill, man? There’s some spooky shit goin’ on there. And it’s green too. ---

Again, not Will Smith, but that line appears in “The Fifth Element”. Said by Chris Tucker, among others. HTH. ---

Scotty had a joke in an original _Star Trek_ episode about being unable to identify a beverage he was serving an alien in an attempt to get him drunk. Scotty was finally reduced to saying, “It’s… green.” Data had a similar gag in one of the ST:TNG movies. ---

All I can picture is Nigel Tufnel in _ **This Is Spinal Tap** _ explaining to the director that his bright green skeleton t-shirt is an “exact replica of my innards.” When it’s mentioned that, of course, it wouldn’t actually be green, Nigel says, “It _is_ green!” I don’t remember if he says it twice, however.
