“…this time, you’re 100% wrong.” Does anybody know where this quote comes from originally? I caught a bit of an episode of _Star Trek Enterprise_ the other night where Captain Archer used it, and I recognised it from _Kill Bill, Vol. 2_. Uma says it to the assassin that comes to kill her right after she discovers she’s pregnant. Since both KB movies are chock-full of references to both film and television, I’m wondering if Tarantino pulled the line from somewhere else. Anybody know? ---

One gratuitous bump. No-one? Anybody? Halloooo…??? Have I **truly** stumped the Dope, or does everyone just hate me? Is the question unclear? Am I being shunned? Art thee up for some plowing? ---

You expected Dopers to know the answer to this obscure movie question. Normally, you’d be 100% right, but… Sorry. I did some google searching to try and help out, but all I found was references to _Kill Bill_. ---

**Marley23:** You have succeeded in cracking me up for the evening. [Family Feud] “Good answer! Good answer!” _clap-clap-clap_ [/FF] It’s very possible that the line originated with _Kill Bill_, but with so many things in that (those) movie(s) that _didn’t_ originate with them, I thought it might be a fair bet that it was derived from something earlier. Anyway, thanks for the response. I was starting to feel unloved. Again. But: Your valentine says you “Choo-choo-choose” me and it has a picture of a train. (Okay, now we’re both uncomfortable…) No, seriously: thanks. I Googled, too; and couldn’t find anything, either. I thought someone might be on the fabled “Inside Track”, or something. ---

“Hypnosis to Stop Smoking” says the underlying advertisement. But it’s for my _glaucoma!_ ---

No problem, **Dijon**. I wanted to post that as soon as I saw your thread, but I figured it wouldn’t make sense. It actually worked better a day later. 😉 Sorry if that left you feeling unloved. ---

Much appreciated. Now I’m intrigued. It seems strange to believe that _Star Trek: Enterprise_ would be quoting _Kill Bill_ directly (although it theoretically could happen), but it makes much more sense to believe that both ST:E and KB had the same source (even if ST:E got it from KB). [Robert Plant] An’ it makes me wonder… [/RP] Anybody have an email for Quentin Tarantino or Uma Thurman? I’d really like to know this. ---

Wow…I ca’n’t believe I stumped the Dope. ---

Well, of course, it’s… um, it’s… Aw, the hell with it. I got nothin’. ---

Yeah, me neither. I kind of figured it was a line like “What we have here is a failure to communicate” or something, but I was just unfamiliar with the source. I am officially intrigued, but stumped.
