Yes, the rest of the movie was trash, but Sean Connery delivering that line was worth the price of admission many times over.
As someone who returned to school at 50 + years old, I can't recount the number of times I reminded both students and staff of the above. Students just gave me a strange look, the staff, just left me alone, then gave me a passing grade.

Great line. Connery did have all the good lines in that film. For some reason I was partial to "Welcome to The Rock!" I remember annoying my friends for months afterwards with that line when answering my front door.
And the car chase through San Francisco. I know it's politically correct among movie connoisseurs to be all excited about the one in "Bullitt", but that airborne cable car was something else.
As for walking out of movies, I don't remember ever doing that. I either knew enough about the movie that the situation didn't occur, or I went to a movie that wasn't my choice with somebody else, and the somebody else was usually more important than whatever happened on the screen
.
Since I'm netflixing/streaming, I peek into a lot of movies that I end up not watching, but I guess that doesn't have the gravity of walking out of one you've driven to and paid for.
