Just out of the blue, got to thinkign about this...

What is the best single-word line from a movie?

I'll guess that "Rosebud" would top the AFI list... but I expect some more recent and humorous efforts from this crowd.

You're just trying to sound precocious.

"Lumberg!"

"Wolveriiiines!"

RUDY!!!!!

"Adrienne" or is it "Adrian" in english, as in Rocky !

"Rosebud", "Toga!", and "Inconceivable!" are clearly in a class of their own here.

if you have to site the movie, I would argue it can not be one of the best single word lines.

i was thinking the same thing.

i was thinking the same thing.

"One" - Del Griffith

"Groovy...!"

They live and it's not a one word line but it is a cool line.

"I came to chew gum and kick as and im all outta gum" = kind of a sleeperI'm not going to jump on you because I did the same thing, but I liked the version from Dazed and Confused better.

if you have to site the movie, I would argue it can not be one of the best single word lines.I cited the movie because you can't type it and do it justice. If most of the folks on the board heard it, they would catch the reference.
I do get where you are coming from though.

Bueller?

Can't say I can recall the movie where "rosebud" was said

I didn't know it at one time, but had heard of Citizen Kane. So I watched the movie once when it was on one of the classics channels. I thought it was okay.

Did anyone else think of the Family Guy episode where Peter recorded himself over the beginning of the movie to say what Rosebud was and not to watse their time watching the whole movie? OMG, that's so hilarious. :)
