It Could Happen to You is a 1994 romantic comedy starring Nicolas Cage as Charlie Lang and Rosie Perez as his wife Muriel. The film follows Charlie after he promises waitress Yvonne Biasi half of a lottery ticket, a promise that changes both of their lives when the ticket wins. Short dialogue clips from the film now circulate on soundboards and in video edits, where a familiar movie moment can instantly set up a joke about money, marriage or bad luck. Its staying power comes from that recognisable pairing of a well-known cast and an everyday relationship situation.
