The line comes from the 1991 science-fiction action film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, directed by James Cameron. Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers it as the T-800 shortly before shooting the frozen T-1000. The Spanish phrase means “Until I see you,” or more naturally, “See you later.” Its distinctive delivery became one of Schwarzenegger’s best-known movie quotes. Repeated references in comedy, television, gaming, and online videos have kept it recognizable as a confident farewell and a setup for an explosive finish.
