Friend, Supergirl from Supergirl (1984)


Supergirl: You have no friends, Selena. You treat everyone as if they were put on this Earth to serve you.
Selena: More or less, I think they were. You included.

AFI #037 Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator from The Terminator (1984)


The Terminator: I'm a friend of Sarah Connor. I was told she was here. Could I see her please?
Desk Sergeant: No, you can't see her. She's making a statement.
The Terminator: Where is she?
Desk Sergeant: It may take a while. Want to wait? There's a bench over there.
The Terminator: [looks around, examining the structural integrity of the room, then looks back at him] I'll be back.

- Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator from The Terminator (1984)

The bolded line is ranked #37 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.

The character returns by driving a car through the front door. Schwarzenegger has been quoted that he hadn't thought much about the line when filming the movie. James Cameron notes in the DVD features that he expected the line to only get a laugh upon repeat viewings when what the character means is known, and was surprised to see it get a big reaction from first-time audiences who had quickly come to understand the character and immediately anticipated the outrageous violence the nonchalant line signifies. In the novelization of the film script, titled The Terminator by Shaun Hutson the Terminator says "I'll come back," rather than "I'll be back," on page 117. ISBN 0-352-31645-4.
