Line 19:
* The quotes given above, comparatively early examples.
* Both ''[[Batman Begins]]'' and ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' make sure to cement their reputation as impeccably-written masterpieces of the action genre by having a criminal say this at some point. Because criminals are a superstitious, cowardly, ineloquent lot.
* ''[[Octopussy (Film)|Octopussy]]'', carrying on the Moore-era Bond's tradition of having all the clunkiest lines.

* Invoked by name in ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'s'' [[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E06 Epidemiology|zombie episode]]:
{{quote| '''[[Meta Guy|Abed]]''': I hate to be the "[[We've Got Company|we've got company]]" guy, but...}}
