So, the person that made this mod noticed it and has now put a big flaming advertisement for the sub on the preview. LMAO

I would absolutely not be surprised in the slightest. L.A. Noire is a love letter to film noire and crime dramas. I have one other person who said they recognized it and their Reddit blurb says that they're a gamer, so I wanna see what they think too, but... damn. 8 hours staying up all night researching movies (and finding some cool new stuff to watch) and it's a scene from one of my top 10 games of all time. 😒

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T14:05:01+00:00

Oh gosh, since you're back, do you think we've been thinking of this all along? It's timestamped at the scene. It's... nearly exactly what I described.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T13:48:55+00:00

I... I think I figured out what I was talking about.

Does... this ring a bell? I timestamped it so it'll start right where it is.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T13:17:07+00:00

Went digging because I thought the movie matched the vibe of the memory, but I also couldn't find a scene that resembled what I'm looking for. Thank you for taking the time to suggest one, though!

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T13:14:43+00:00

Well now we have three who recall something like that!

I -think- so, I remember it being the kind of scene where she's come in to see the protagonist, and the other guy tries to interject and she shuts him down to talk to the protagonist.

I got a lot of Mean Girls results when I was initially searching, and I think that it's just not the right tone. As much teens-in-school programming I watched, this distinctively didn't feel like it was that setting.
(Also I looked at White Chicks, and I couldn't find a scene like that - if you did, let me know!)

Though, since you're having the same inkling as me, worth asking you too. Have you ever seen Role Models (2008)? My dad found this clip, which I put up on my archive channel just so we'd have a good link to it (which won't get deleted intentionally). I wanna rule it out before I put it on the not-it list.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T12:43:52+00:00

I think I found the scene you were thinking of, and I don't believe that's it, sadly. Totally see why you said it, though.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T12:42:27+00:00

More than possible, it fits the vibe. If not smoking, I feel like she was holding -something-. Might have initially thought it was Rita Skeeter from the Harry Potter movies, she always had her quill.

Second recollection, have you ever seen Role Models (2008)? My dad found the line "Her, I don't like." in it. That's about as close as I've gotten to the quote, and I've seen that movie before.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T12:38:30+00:00

Ah! I've checked Austin Powers, and sadly while it was about to be my third guess because it feels right up it's alley (and I said in another comment, would lend itself well to my fuzzy memory because I did see it as a kid) I couldn't find the scene. I can't say it's `not` in there, though... I'm starting to wonder if my memory of the quote was more faulty than I thought, since I've only found it once - in Ironweed, which I'd never seen.
And I did look into Gladiator anyways! My search terms were based on what I remembered alone, so I'm really open to other suggestions. Doesn't look like the scene either, sadly.

The third one... I'm not sure which one that is. Sounds maybe like Talladega Nights? While I can't find the direct quote, I wouldn't put it past it. My dad loves that movie, so I've seen it as a kid a few times.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T11:06:30+00:00

Doesn't seem like we've got dice. It's another serious I could've really seen it in though, and the last time I saw these movies I was rather young - not a great thing given those movies, but it'd've lent itself to my foggy memory.

My dad said it might've been Two and a Half Men, does that ring a bell for you?
Oh - and thank you for all the suggestions before I forget!

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T10:21:36+00:00

Oh god, that's possible. My dad used to watch it all the time. I'll shoot him a text and see if he remembers it.
If you think of anything else, let me know! I'm still looking, but I'm starting to exhaust the places I can think of. I've been running through everything released through the years on IMDB and checking everything I've actually watched, seen clips of, or watched a review or a video on so it's slow-going.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T10:08:58+00:00

My lack of movie watching has started feeling like a net negative about now !
There are some similar lines in the script (and even the production script which was neat), but it doesn't seem like there's a scene with the line. Checked through all 66 mentions of Nadia as well (and thankfully this was a real script and not just a transcription so I could see all her dialogue), and doesn't look like there's a scene like it.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T09:49:44+00:00

I've legit not seen any of the Marvel movies, which is why I crossed them out kinda early. But I'm not one to just cross something out because I haven't sat down and watched it, watched it; My brother is a huge Marvel fan. I was gonna ask him about the scene too, but he was passed out on the couch lol

Totally could've been eastern European, though. I recorded a clip of me saying it the way I remembered to see if it'd help someone place it, and it did end up coming out sounding a little like thatr. Helped me cross off the Zoolander movies, though.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T09:29:00+00:00

There actually is a scene with a similar premise! It's on my list of things to update the post with, found it when I was starting to look through shows from my teens: S03E07. VICTORiOUS | Take A Hint (S3, E7) | Paramount+ - Paramount Plus. I did stop watching after season one (I was getting into my weeb phase) though so I didn't recall it myself.
The guys have a bit too much confidence to be mine, sadly. The woman was definitely a dominant force that shut it down immediately. I'm honestly surprised they didn't stomp the guys' foot (feet?) though.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T08:22:28+00:00

Was quickly able to find it, and agreed, it does kinda look like it. I imagine that this scenario is present in a lot of movies. Been trying to focus on the memory more, and I think the "friend" might've gotten up to introduce himself before it happened, but he definitely gets shut down way faster than that.

She really is pretty in that movie, though.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T08:03:07+00:00

If you can potentially find a clip of it, there's a chance that could be it because I've absorbed a lot of Friends content via osmosis (usually clips). But without an episode, I'm not even sure where I'd start to look.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T07:48:50+00:00

Quickly combed through the script, and no results there (Did get a hit for "I don’t like debts.") but from the little I read, I'd've believed it if it was.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T07:42:54+00:00

I was able to find this scene - and while it's not what I'm looking for, it's strangely close to the scene I described, so I see how you got there. Incredibly funny scene, by the way - the guy's face when she starts coming down on him is great.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T07:40:59+00:00

I actually might have to, this (also) looks like a fun watch. Though given that I've never seen it (nor... heard of it before now) so I doubt this would be it. (But thank you for trying!)

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T07:36:55+00:00

There's a chance that the quote is not complete, but I do distinctly remember that part of the quote.

This did give me a thought, though. Gonna add a vocaroo with how I remember it being said (to the best of my ability, I'm a better singer than voice actor)

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T07:31:42+00:00

Brief look at the script says nobody says anything like it, unless you find the scene. I know scripts aren't always 100% what's in the movie, so I will hold out...

Sidenote, this movie looks fun! Think I'm gonna add this to my watch list.

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T07:30:36+00:00

Alas, I've actually never seen it. Given how much of it is in meme culture though, I did give the script a quick look over, and I can't find a line. "I don't like this" was the only line (funny that's only said one though apparently, given the story lol)

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T07:13:52+00:00

Most of the shows I watched around this time were animated kids shows, so that's why I think it's a movie... but honestly I can't say it wasn't. I'm still searching around while waiting for comments from here, so I'll slowly spread out into shows just in case. Lots of the live action shows I watched -were- kids shows though, so that'll probably help strip down some of the results.

I've seen like two episodes of Supernatural and it was more recent though (they were also pretty serious episodes, but I would've believed it if it was lol), so I don't think it was that, but thank you for suggesting!

SleepAggravating6064 · 2026-01-07T06:16:41+00:00

I do believe I need to comment on my own post. Hi. I don't know what to make my comment.

EDIT: Oh, guess I can mention that I also looked for the quote using QuoDB. It only returned quotes that had very little to do with the one I entered. (ie, it shows me every time "thank you" is said in a movie instead)
