everyone voting no is lying, obviously.

I remember it the right way, if only because I actually remember the context of the scene, rather than just going around spouting random memetic nonsense I've heard other people say third-hand.

"Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father..."

"He told me enough! He told me YOU killed him!"

"No. -I- am your father."

Most of the people who misquote it are people who've never actually seen Empire, saw it once a long time ago and just vaguely remember it, or who heard multiple people misquote it long before they saw the actual movie.

But I saw Empire when I was 6 years old, and the World Wide Web wouldn't exist to ruin everything pop culture related for another decade or so. And I watched Empire A LOT as a kid.

There are quite a few movies from that era I can quote, word-for-word, beginning to end, without missing a single line. Transformers, Clue, the animated Lord of the Rings - I memorized a lot of useless trivia through constant repetition as a kid.

In a time when cable only had 36 channels, there were only like 10 hours of kid's programming tops on TV in any given week, and all you had was an Atari 2600 and a VCR, there wasn't all that much competing media to distract you from watching a favorite movie 100+ times.
