Signature Line

""And now, here it comes, the line you've all been waiting for..." (Also sprach Zarathustra plays in the background)"

- Phelous in his Troll 2 review

Related to Signature Scene, a Signature Line is a quote of dialogue that everyone remembers from a work of fiction, and has become synonymous with it. When the general public thinks of the work, this is the one quote that immediately springs to mind, and may be the only reason to remember the work at all.

There are many reasons that the line may stand out. It may be...
 * The Crowning Moment of Awesome for the speaking character
 * The Crowning Moment of Funny for the speaking character
 * A major centerpiece of the marketing for the work, possibly the tagline
 * The opening line or monologue of a famous work
 * A line that evoked major controversy
 * A line that is incredibly ridiculous or narmful in what is supposed to be a serious work
 * The major twist in the work

No matter the reason, the Signature Line is cemented in the minds of the general public. Your Mileage May Vary, as if you have actually seen the work yourself and are familiar with it, there may be lines that stick out more for you.

A Signature Line is a line of dialogue that actually appears in the work. If the line is never actually spoken in the work, it's an example of Beam Me Up, Scotty.

Signature Lines are likely to succumb to Memetic Mutation, and thereby result in viewers Watching It For The Meme.

Don't confuse this with a character's Catch Phrase; a signature line is something viewers might watch the entire show simply to hear, not just something that gets said a lot. If many different people in the show say it, it's the show's Arc Words. Sometimes, of course, a catchphrase or arc words can catch on and come to define the show in popular imagination, but it's rarer than you'd think -- the vast majority of signature lines are only spoken once in the work where they appear.
