Fun exercise one: The line that could have finished off a movie

I stole this from some fellow Pros fans - we're doing it with Pros episodes. but I thought everyone could have fun with it.

You just give a line that would have rendered the plot of a movie (or TV episode, or whatever) pointless.

E.g. for The Princess Bride...

Buttercup: Farm boy

Lord of the Rings (at the end of the council of elrond)

Legolas: "And my bow"
Gimli: "And my axe!"
Gwaihir: "And my wings!"

Dracula (1897)

I quietly got my polyglot dictionary from my bag and looked them out. I must say they were not cheering to me, for amongst them were "Ordog"--Satan, "Pokol"--hell, "stregoica"--witch, "vrolok" and "vlkoslak"--both mean the same thing, one being Slovak and the other Servian for something that is either werewolf or vampire. I resolved to find out more about these superstitions before I saw the count.

There's the standard one of those from Star Wars:

"There goes another one."
"Hold your fire; there's no life forms aboard."
"Aww, can't I shoot it anyway?"
"Oh, go on then."
*BLAM*

Or,

"Hold your fire; there's no life forms aboard."
"Oopsie! Sorry, sir!"
