Not the answer I was looking for. It’s from a classic American movie from the 1950s.

That’s the great Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Raw Deal.”

Okay, here’s one:

“How can you trust a man who wears both a belt AND suspenders?”

(It took me a few seconds to realize that these were lines from 7 **different** movies!)

This was the great line from _Silent Movie_ by Mel Brooks. It was the only line spoken in the entire movie by Marcel Maurceau, the great French mime.

I can’t say I recognize the quote, but the family name is sure familiar. Was this a quote from _It’s a Wonderful Life_?

Here’s one from a relatively obscure movie just a few years back (that I liked nonetheless):

**"Trust the Lloyd"**  
(spoken by someone who mistakes a person named “Lloyd” as God). They go on to say they’ve been mispronouncing that phrase all these years!
