I most certainly did not.
Technically three lines. From Ocean’s 11:
Reuben: Look, we all go way back and uh, I owe you from the thing with the guy in the place and I’ll never forget it.
Danny: That was our pleasure.
Rusty: I’d never been to Belize.
Planescape: Torment has a lot of references to the past lives the protagonist has lived, none of which he directly remembers. Only a few of those lives are even remotely fleshed out, and most of them seem to be real dicks. When you’ve died and come back to life as much as the protagonist has, you have potential for a lot of interesting stories.
Of course, part of the game’s charm is that you don’t know everything you’ve done in past lives, nor should you.
God, I love that line. And that story.
“The Last Camel Died at Noon”
Hell, I even thought I was dead 'til I found out it was just that I was in Nebraska.
You weren’t there, in the final days of the War. You never saw what was born. But if the Time Lock’s broken, then everything’s coming through. Not just the Daleks, but the Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties, the Nightmare Child, the Could-Have-Been-King with his army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres; the War turned into Hell!
Many Shuzs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you.
“Have you ever seen someone object to a wedding?”
“Once, in Barcelona. There was gunfire.”
I once wrote a song called, “Take Off Your Pants, Senator” based on a line from a story.
“Solely,” said Linley, “in order to get an appetite.”
Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!
You wore blue, the Germans wore gray.
Not a one liner, but the Q vs Guinan back story should be interesting
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
Oops, I may have misunderstood! I believe that line is the entirety of the story.
From the recent headlines - here on the SDMB.
“It was either a dead girl or a live boy.”
Interestingly, there were (at least) two fictional characters who said this – the more recent being an obvious allusion to the earlier.
“You know some time you’re bound to leave her, but for now you’re going to stay…”
Huh? Such a fantastic, inscrutable affair, and you’re thinking that you’re going to get bored soon enough? I want to hear more about what you do for living!
First time I heard this song I wondered why a murder had been committed:
“Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead.”
With the 3rd of June being just a little over a week ago I’m surprised that no one has mentioned this song:
“Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.”
And also:
“And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin’ off the Tallahatchie Bridge.”
And from the last verse of the folk song “Casey Jones”:
“Hush up children, and quit your crying’,
For you’ve got another poppa on the Salt Lake Line.”
Keeping with the OP’s Steely Dan…
“Just when I say, “Boy we can’t miss, you are golden,” then you do this.”
I’m not sure I understand the concept here. Isn’t the story regarding the above line explained in the movie?
Not exactly a one-liner, but what exactly did you, me, and Julio do down by the schoolyard?
What did Billy Joe McCallister toss off the Tallahatchee Bridge?
It was a wrong number that started it, the telephone ringing three times in the dead of night, and the voice on the other end asking for someone he was not.
