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...."

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".

A dear friend of mine,Tony Stark; after a surreal lulu ran to the front door, head draped in a towel and said "I'll be back in a year". Then promptly vanished.
It means I don't plan on seeing you again, ever.

A phrase often used to indicate to you that:
1. The person has absolutely no idea what you just said.
2. You are a complete loser and the other person just does not want to talk to you.
3. Is trying to avoid the question.
Did you hear our professor's ludicrous rant on the consequences of mal-formed subprime mortgate ratings?
-Uh, I'll get back to you on that one.
Hey man, wanna go somewhere?
-I'll get back to you on that one.
Hey, where's that 10 bucks I lent you the other day?
-I'll get back to you on that one.
