"Open the Pod Bay doors HAL"
Every body remembers the scene from "2001: A Space Oddesy" where Dave is trying to get the HAL 9000 to open the doors to the Pod Bay but the most memorable time I ever heard this was in the tense moments right before a live uplink, right at that moment where everyone is taking their last deep breath, right BEFORE the final 10 second countdown when the Video Tape Operator, Paul Trueline, keyed open his mic and said this famous line... it gave everyone a fun chuckle right before the storm hit.
Paul Trueline - 2001
