The impossible search

[ysobel]

A line just popped into my head that I'm pretty sure is a movie quote, maybe tv show or musical -- it's definitely something I've heard, because I can hear the inflection... and I need to source it..

...only the line is "you *promised*"

/facepalm

It's not the bits in Tangled involving promising, but that's all I can say. My brain is telling me it's "you promised, remember?" followed by a reaction shot similar to Gandalf's oh-no look when Frodo volunteers to carry the Ring, only I can't tell how much of that is invented on my part. It's definitely "you promised", possibly "you promised, remember?", and like 0.00001% chance it involves Ian McKellen, haha.

It's not the first time my brain has popped up a random bit of something (music, lyrics, quotes, etc) and won't be able to rest until I place it, but holy crabcakes, this is like asking a librarian to find "that one book with a blue cover".

Ah, brains.

the first thing that came to mind for me was from "Avengers: Infinity War" - Gamora says it to Quill while they're facing off with Thanos.

Hmmm ... possible. I'll have to look that scene up. Thanks :)

Good luck!

Was it a kid making the statement? It sounds like something a kid would say.

It seems childish but ... I don't know. Heh.

For whatever reason, when I read "you promised, remember?" I heard it in Kairi from Kingdom Hearts' voice, probably talking to Sora. But no dice on a search, the only results are fanfic.

Oh interesting.. way too many possibilities sigh.

I'd tried googling it but got a lot of psalms and stuff. Not helpful 🫠

I think this will probably be a forever mystery. Heck, maybe I just hallucinated it to begin with...
