Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won't be recognized.
Don't even need a few words, "Elderberries".
Edited for clarity.
Still doesn't work. Elderberries are synonymous with the Holy Grail, at least in places where elderberries aren't common.
I meant elderberries to be an example for OPs post, to show nearly the entire script of holy Grail is easily recognizable, even using single word quotes.
"What is your favorite color?" is the best I can do.
Even this depends on diction.
"What is your favorite color?" - School teacher.
"WHAT- is your favorite color?" - Bridge Keeper
"Who goes there?" and "It's only a model" could work without any more context. But I think I would go with "Oh, don't be such a baby" even with context I think lots of people won't immediately recognize this.
She's got huge tracts of land
My best efforts from the script, but it ultimately goes to show that you're right:
- Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
- That's enough music for now, lads. Looks like there's dirty work afoot.
- Well, this is the main hall. We're going to have all this knocked through, and made into one big living room.
Of course it's a good idea!
