These kinds of things can stick in your head and drive you crazy.
One of my recurring compliments, usually when referring to someone's cooking or creative effort, is "this really is very, very, very good what you've done here." I had heard it in a movie or TV show and it just stuck. It wasn't a punch line to a bit or anything, just something of which I liked the delivery.

Problem is, I couldn't remember where I got it. Not that it haunted me the way some things can, but for the life of me I couldn't place it. Oddly, I discovered years later that it was from an episode of Mad About You, a show I almost never watched. The Paul Reiser character said it to some kid who invented a virtual reality machine (which enabled the character to take part in a fantasy sequence with Christie Brinkley, which is probably why I saw it at all).

Anyway, that episode aired in 1994. I solved this little mystery more than 10 years later, completely by happenstance.

Also, in before...
