Default Its from...

It's from The Day the Earth Stood Still

Although it was also used to good effect in Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness

It's also been used in various places because of it's classic connotation (an in-joke if you will amoung sci-fi geeks)

No no no. It's things you DON'T want to hear...

I don't care if they ARE an alien race. If they're beautiful, humanoid, and intelligent then I would have no problems with it. :-)

*shudder* Okay, THAT'S something I wouldn't want to hear.

How about these
(handing you a small, furry creature in the shape of a ball) "We were wondering if you would hang on to our pet for a few days."

"We are the Annunaki. We demand a sacrifice of one dodo bird or we will activate a gene we placed in your genetic code that will cause your bodies to lose all cellular adhesion and melt into a puddle of goo."
