Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Memorable one-word lines

I had an idea this week for our next Daily Dialogue inspired by this:

Arguably the most famous one-word line of dialogue in the history of cinema.

That got me thinking: Are there other notable one-word lines of dialogue? I thought of a few, just enough to become convinced this would be a good challenge for GITS readers on two levels: (1) The test of sourcing memorable examples. (2) Interpreting the subtext of each side. Think about it: For a one-word line of dialogue to be noteworthy, there has got to be a lot going on, both in the External World where the word is uttered and heard, and also in the Internal World where the word is interpreted.

So there’s your challenge for next week’s Daily Dialogue: Memorable one-word lines.

See you in Comments!
