Don't you dare finish that sentence! Don't do it! I'm sick of it!

"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...

  • 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, and/or
  • The major twist in the work.

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

For game shows, the Elimination Catchphrase usually becomes the show's signature line as well.

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 (usually, Memetic Mutation is how they become the Signature Line), and thereby result in viewers Watching It For The Meme.

Don't confuse this with a Character Catchphrase; 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. Also not to be confused with Tagline or Wham Line.

NOTE: Since these are signature lines, spoilers won't be marked.
