The original movie from 1951 was called "The Day The Earth Stood Still" starring Michael Rennie. I remember it well 'cuz it was the movie shown on the very first NBC "Saturday Night At The Movies" a long time ago. My neighborhood buddies and I all memorized the phrase 'cuz we figured we might need it someday. I forget exactly what it means but Patricia Neal had to walk right up to this giant shiny robot, take a deep breath and repeat it to his face exactly right the first time. It means something like "Hey, big robot guy! I know some stoopid soldier done shot & killed your master but he said for you to go get him and bring him back to life and oh yeah, don't blast this little planet all to hell with your disintegrater ray!" There's a fascinating website about the movie....can't find it now.
