I use the "I just want to tell you (both/all) good luck, we're all counting on you" line irl sometimes.
My humble dream is that one day, before I'm dead, someone will get it.
One of my favorite lines to drop in normal conversation. Just out of the blue. It really throws people for a loop of they don't get the reference.
Sam: "Go on. Now! Throw it in the fire! What are you waiting for? Just let it go!"
Elrond: "I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you."
Leslie has been dead for the past 14 years (sadly) it's no surprise that a lot of people don't know about him.
Edit: oh.... I get it now... Damn
Thanks for providing an actual answer

Facts like these make me feel really old, I grew up with that clown. Sleepovers with the Naked Gun movies were the best.
To be fair, you're not really old unless you grew up with him as a dramatic actor, before he switched to comedy.
I was so confused when I first saw that movie,not knowing he wasn't a comedian all his career.
14 years? It can't be 14 years because I was well out of high school and colle... Oh fuck I'm old.
I need people to know that in the German version of that film, they made the black guys speak Bavarian and it is absolutely hilarious.
I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor!
