Let’s clean up a few that have been left dangling: **Hope**.: _Shawshank Redemption_. Doesn’t fit the OP, I think. Isn’t the full quote “I hope.”(?) **Maria** : _West Side Story_ **To-GA!!** : _Animal House_, obviously. **Mammy!** : _The Jazz Singer_ **Klaatuu** : _The Day the Earth Stood Still_. (But was that ever uttered as a stand-alone line?) **Neeerrrrddddsss!!!** : _Revenge of the Nerds_ **G’day** : _Crocodile Dundee_ ---

[QUOTE=spoke-] **Maria** : _West Side Story_ [/QUOTE] “I love _West Side Story_, but there is a mistake in it, a great big blaring mistake in the movie of _West Side Story._ Did you see it? You know the story, the Sharks and the Jets, and there’s this guy called Tony. He’s a white guy. He’s Wonder Bread white. He’s a white, white, white, white guy. White, white Tony. So Tony, white guy, runs into this completely Latino, Puerto Rican neighbourhood, and yells MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! And only ONE WOMAN comes to the window. You yell ‘Maria!’ like that in my Italian neighbourhood, forty fat women in aprons. ‘Whaddya want?! Shut up!’” - Lea Delaria ---

[QUOTE=spoke-] **Klaatuu** : _The Day the Earth Stood Still_. (But was that ever uttered as a stand-alone line?) [/QUOTE] No. But since it was the name of a somewhat cheesy band in 1979 (which was rumored to be the reunited Beatles recording under a phony name), I figured it had adequately entered the cultural zeitgeist on its own. Speaking of indirect Beatles references, I’m mildly surprised nobody got “Kaihili!” ---
