That particular bit has been quoted often and widely. I thought you were joking by singling out one specific usage of the quote.
It would be sort of like asking " 'Take my wife...please!' -- Was that on Cheers?"
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been
listening.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I wonder what it is that makes that the Caesar quote. I can do 6 or 7 lines of that speech but I couldn't quote anything else from JC. I even thought "cry havoc!.." was a different play.

I don't know, "Et tu, Brute?" could give it a run for its money.
Is it the climax of the play?
No, it's the denouement. It's after Caesar's dead.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
I think "Cry Havoc!" is also up there.

"he's got a lean and hungry look" and "beware the ides of march" are pretty big.

"he's got a lean and hungry look"
I've never heard this quoted before. Huh.
"beware the ides of march"
Oh, of course. Yeah, there are a lot of quotable lines. It's Shakespeare!

I think my favorite Julius Caesar quote is "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves."
