«I’ll be back» is the signature line of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 in James Cameron’s «The Terminator» (1984), delivered before the character drives a car through a police station wall to make good on the promise. By the early 1990s, pirated VHS copies of the film (and its 1991 sequel, «Terminator 2: Judgment Day») had made Schwarzenegger one of the biggest stars in Russia, and this particular line one of the most widely recognized quotes from American cinema — recognizable enough that the narrator reaches for it, untranslated, in the original English, as his own private vow to get even.
