I recall hearing that late 60s/early 70s NYC 10pm advisement. Thanks for the memories.

Never ask a woman when the baby is due unless you know for sure that she's pregnant.

More so in the delivery by Warren Oates than the actual words:

"Lighten up, Francis" from the movie Stripes, 1981.

LOL, that's a good one. Sometimes I even use it IRL

Also a couple of things the mule driver says in Dances With Wolves-

"Why don't he write?" and "Put that in your book"

(just putting these words into YouTube will bring up the scenes from the movie)
