With dry eyes either. That speech has kept me going, so many times. I've even posted it in various places on Lemmy as a counter to the sheer hopelessness and defeatism (understandably) pervading a lot of threads.
I often consider getting it wholly or partially inscribed on me.
(I didn't actually know that off the top of my head. I ran across a site that apparently indexes movie clips by sentence and picks a random line every time you reload the page. It happened to load a search for "hello there" and that was one of the first five results that it shows you before telling you to pay for an account. The other four results were Far From Heaven, Annie (2014), Hellboy II, and The Mask, BTW.)

I meant elderberries to be an example for OPs post, to show nearly the entire script of holy Grail is easily recognizable, even using single word quotes.
"Who goes there?" and "It's only a model" could work without any more context. But I think I would go with "Oh, don't be such a baby" even with context I think lots of people won't immediately recognize this.
You must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Don't be resigned to that. Break out!

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
He's crackin'.
Shut the fuck up Donny.
Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won't be recognized.
Don't even need a few words, "Elderberries".
Edited for clarity.
Still doesn't work. Elderberries are synonymous with the Holy Grail, at least in places where elderberries aren't common.
I meant elderberries to be an example for OPs post, to show nearly the entire script of holy Grail is easily recognizable, even using single word quotes.
"What is your favorite color?" is the best I can do.
Even this depends on diction.
"What is your favorite color?" - School teacher.
"WHAT- is your favorite color?" - Bridge Keeper
"Who goes there?" and "It's only a model" could work without any more context. But I think I would go with "Oh, don't be such a baby" even with context I think lots of people won't immediately recognize this.
She's got huge tracts of land
My best efforts from the script, but it ultimately goes to show that you're right:
Of course it's a good idea!

FAIL. That's from a TV series, not a movie.
What year is it
Yup, you got me.
My claim to a brush with celebrity is that I used to know Michael Rooker, who played the guy who got pretzeled.
His biggest role, however, was playing Mary Poppins.
The best movie he was in was Tombstone. Change my mind
That kid! That kid is BACK on the ESCALATOR!
This movie just has line after quotable line
I quote that movie still IRL and no one knows what the hell I'm talking about, but I don't care
