What's a movie line you just can't forget?

This line doesn't even have to be one that you like, or one from a movie that you like. I'm curious how the mind chooses which words to retain. After all, memory is selective.
Be honest and creative with your answer. I won't mind answers like "This is Sparta!" I'd mind answers that go, "Of all the gin joints....." Most people claim that line's their favorite, but they can't even quote it verbatim without doing a google search first.

I can't remember the movie but the line was "I'd rather have 15 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing". That line has stuck with me for many years. I even use it as my own personal motto.

'I'll have what she's having.' When Harry Met Sally
I laughed for about 5 minutes when I saw it for the first time in the movie theater. To this day I laugh like it is the first time I've heard it.
What an excellent movie that is!!!

My favorite line is from a movie that I enjoy as a guilty pleasure. It is from the Horror film, Halloween IV, and it is Dr. Loomis talking about Michael Meyers, and he says, "Two years ago i watched Michael Meyers burn and go to Hell, but deep in my heart, I knew Hell wouldn't accept him." So "B" movieish, so melodramatic.

There are hundreds I can't forget..I watch a LOT of movies and have some movies pretty much memorized..the first that came to mind now is from Steel Magnolias. "I'd rather have 15 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special". I've always liked that one.

There a lot of movie lines I can always remember. "So it shall be written, so it shall be done." - Ten Commandments. The way the line was delivered showed confidence that things will happen in one's own way though the odds are against him.
"He's looking at you, kid." - Casablanca. It's like saying I love you the woman protagonist, giving an assurance that she'll be taken care of for the rest of her life.
