I'll be back

Three of the seventeen words Arnold Schwarzenegger utters in the sci-fi classic 'The Terminator'. Said in a deep and emotionless voice (in an Austrian accent) to a police officer, before the menacing Robot returns and ploughs a car into the police station, thus gaining access to the area he was forbidden to enter.

Voted to be the greatest catchphrase of all time by movie critics, and also said in the sequels to the movie.
"You'll have to wait, sir"

*Arnie looks over counter, then stares at the policeman*

I'll be back in a flask

It originated from the term "I'll be back in a flash", but with the word "flash" replaced with "flask". It gives a double meaning now, where you can say "I'll be back soon" and also "I'll be back inside an alcohol containing vessel".
"Hey, dude, I'm gonna go pick up some more ammunition at K-mart. I'll be back in a flask."
