“I’m a space cowboy. Bet you weren’t ready for that.” - Steve Miller

“I think my watch stopped, Neil,” while preparing to re-enter the Lunar Module.”
Apollo 11.
In order to start the engines to leave the moons surface, you flipped some toggle switches. The switch panel was located near the door and one of the astronauts had snapped the toggle off the ascent engine switch while going through the door. The panel was moved for Apollo 12.
Since this was all televised, they didn’t want to go “oh ****” so “I think my watched stopped” was to be used in case something bad happened. A bunch of sphincters slammed shut in Houston when he said that. Neil (?) looked at it and figured out that there was still enough of the toggle stub to be able to manipulate it with a ballpoint pen.

“E.T. Phone Home” - E.T.
“Never give up. Never surrender.” - Dr. Lazarus, science officer of the starship NSEA Protector (Galaxy Quest)
“By Grabthar’s hammer, you shall be avenged!”
“I’ve lost artoo!” - Luke Skywalker
-PJ
“No one ever listens to Zathras. “Quite mad,” they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. Has even grown to like it. Oh, yes.”
