Poll: 30 memorable quotes said before dying ...

A great screen character doesn't necessarily need a great entrance but the exit MUST leave an indelible impact on the viewer's mind, and if by any chance (of lack of) the character dies, the chances are high that his or her last words shall never be forgotten by collective memories.

This is a compilation of 30 quotes uttered by (mainly important or scene-stealing supporting) characters before their last gasp, or the following, expected or not, 'bang' or 'boom' ... and whether they see death coming and try to leave the world with style or honor, or don't see it but remain true to their nature, the last quote remaings their last shining cinematic moment.

So, which of these 30 last words apart from the iconic and plot-defining "Rosebud" do you think is the most memorable?

PS: No spoilers since the names of the characters (may they rest in peace or rot in hell) are never mentioned
