Line 19:
* At the end of ''[[The Hot Rock]]'', Dortmunder finally gets the sought-after diamond after a bank guard was given a hypnotic suggestion. He casually utters the key words "Afghanistan banana stand" to the guard - there's some tension as the guard doesn't ''act'' hypnotized, but he does follow instructions and hands over the diamond.
* In ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] and the King of Thieves'', this is naturally the way to open up the entrance to the Forty Thieves' lair. The ocean parts and a stone road running out to a large offshore rock formation forms. And then a crack opens in the rock formation, leading to the lair.
* In ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'', when the Fellowship tries to enter Moria through the enchanted gate.
* ''Curse of the Crystal Eye'' naturally uses the phrase to open the 40 Thieves' cave, along with the titular huge diamond.
