What is the most frequently used line in movies? I knew the answer to this but then proceeded to forget (just when I was trying to impress by pulling it out of my too-old memory core). I consider myself proficient in my Google-fu but found it took me a little longer than I expected to find the result I was looking for. So here’s an exercise, find me the quote, and leave in the comments not the quote but what you Googled to find it.

I can’t ascertain the accuracy of the result, but I did get one claim to it by Googling “most common line in movies”.
