(This seems like the perfect type of question for an 'ask lj/dw'.)

Where did the line "Come with me if you want to live" originate? This is one of the things that's very hard to research via Internet, because if you Google it you get a squillion, varied responses.

Found you through Recent Things.

Looks like it came from the originalTerminator movie.

(I say "possible" because I'm on dialup, and not willing to wait 8 minutes for the scene to load to find out if it's the right part.)

The Ninth Doctor says it in his introductory episode.

I'm sure it floats around other movie/TV sources, though.

Wasn't it Terminator? Or did it predate that?

Almost positive Terminator (1) was the first use of this line.

I've been beaten to the answer many times over, but this reminds me, we so need to watch these (and Aliens) sometime.
