For all the "Hasta la vista, babies" and "Come with me if you want to live", the most iconic line from the Terminator franchise is, without question, "I'll be back." In the original both a show of Arnie's undisputed cool and the set up to a great slapstick joke, it's come to dominate Schwarzenegger's career, with countless non-Terminator films making reference to it.
