Most famous film quotes by 'no-name' characters
What are the greatest, most famous, most iconic, most often cited movie quotes said by a minor 'no-name' character who does not even have assigned a name, or it is not mentioned in the film? I guess there is little competition for the top spot to [https://www.writingbeginner.com/negative-ghost-rider/ “Negative, Ghost Rider. The pattern is full.”] In this case, the character had been assigned a name (Air Boss Johnson), but it was not mentioned in the film. What other examples are there - even more for real no-name roles without any name assigned? --KnightMove (talk) 11:12, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
