    Default "You... you came back!" and other unoriginal lines in movies?

    They had this one in the new Grinch movie. Pretty sure they had this in Beauty and the beast and the "9" animated movie, where else have you heard it?

    Are there other lines of dialogue you're tired of hearing?

    Poor references to, "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!"

    I could be wrong, but I think I heard that same line in Disney's Tarzan.

    As for tired lines of dialogue, how about: "I am your father".

    Not a specific line of dialogue, but when someone in a movie asks a question and then the other person throws basically the same question back.

    For example: I love The Winter Soldier, but in the movie when Alexander Pierce asks "Are you sure you're ready for the world to see you as you really are?" and then the other person goes "Are you?"

    I noticed it first when Maddox did a review of Matrix Reloaded where he drew a bunch of panels where characters would ask a question and get a question in return as the answer and how annoying it was.

    "...And that's where I come in!" exclaims the strange businessman barging into the meeting.
    Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

    "You came back!" may be a tired line, although the unanswered "Why did you come back?" from Magnificent Seven is a classic twist on it.

    I usually roll my eyes at "As you know..." and "I shouldn't have to remind you..." lead ins, but that's an entire expository writing issue of its own.

    "Let's get out of here!"
    I swear that in the 1980s it seemed to appear in every. single. movie.

    HATE it when "let's get outta here" comes up and end credits roll. ALSO in modern horror :

    "Damn! Phone's outta range/not working/batteries gone dead (etc.)"
