This is killing me, it’s right on the tip of my brain and I can’t get it. What movie has a line, where somebody tough is talking to somebody and growls “put the … down”. I feel like this is iconic and I can hear those words but can’t get the rest.. help!
Never mind! It’s “put the coffee down” from glengarry Glen Ross
Put the coffee down. Glengarry Glen Ross. Chatgpt is wonderful for this btw.
Probably GGR as stated above..
There IS a line from ADVENTURE’S IN BABYSITTING where a janitor tells a woman “put the animal down”, but you’re probably not thinking of that line.
ETA: Nevermind, I see you figured it out on your own, nice
I so wanted it to be “put ze candle beck!”, but alas, ‘twas not to be.
Hey. 
“Put the coffee down. Coffee is for closers. You think I’m fucking with you? I am not fucking with you. You Levine?”
“Yeah.”
“You call yourself a salesman, you son of a bitch?”
Don’t forget when he went to Santa’s Workshop to motivate the elves! Coffee is for Cobblers!
Put the bong down.
I think I’ve had more call to say that over the years.
Put Down The Duckie
Are you sure you weren’t thinking of this scene?
The description is vague and general enough that it could be almost anything. I imagine that there are also plenty of quotes with “gun” and “phone”.
Or the incomprehensible “Put the hammer down!”. A pedal doesn’t look like a hammer and you push it down; you don’t put it down.
The first thing I thought of was also the bunny scene from Con Air.
“Let the Wookie win” from Star Wars has a similar rhythm, vibe, and sound pattern.
I also thought of “Put the cookie down! Now!” from Jingle All The Way.
All I can hear is Chris Rock saying, “Put the dick down!” from his bit about black people vs n*ggas.
My first thought was Young Frankenstein
