I hear it all the time and I’m sure I’m the only one who doesn’t get the reference, but where does:

“This time, its personal.”

come from. A search on IMDB was not helpful. I know the SD’ers 'round here will be.

Thanks.

I can hear the voice distinctly…it’s on the tip of my tongue.

IIRC it’s a sequel and the quote was used in the trailer/preview.

I remember that they used that quote when the trailers for “Jaws 4 - The Revenge” came out.

It’s not a quote.

It’s the promotional tagline used for [**Die Hard With a Vengeance** (1995)](http://uk.imdb.com/Title?0112864) and also [**Jaws: The Revenge** (1987)](http://uk.imdb.com/Title?0093300)

You’re so smart, Crusoe!

I don’t suppose you’re available for clarifying obscure MST3K references too, are you?

Okay I hafta slip this in here somewhere in the hopes that someone knows:  
In Queensryche’s “Silent Lucidity” there’s one quick audio clip that I **know** I’ve heard before in a movie. During the bridge of the song a faint voice can be heard saying “How’s this now, better?”  
The voice sounds sorta like Sir Alec Guinness, but I can’t say for certain it’s him.

Re—the original post-----

I believe it was also said by SONNY/JAMES CAAN in THE GODFATHER. There had previously been a discussion about “things” being done for “business” vs “personal” reasons. THAT’S the voice I hear.
