I meant elderberries to be an example for OPs post, to show nearly the entire script of holy Grail is easily recognizable, even using single word quotes.
“Who goes there?” and “It’s only a model” could work without any more context. But I think I would go with “Oh, don’t be such a baby” even with context I think lots of people won’t immediately recognize this.
Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won’t be recognized.
My best efforts from the script, but it ultimately goes to show that you’re right:
She’s got huge tracts of land
Don’t even need a few words, “Elderberries”.
Edited for clarity.
Still doesn’t work. Elderberries are synonymous with the Holy Grail, at least in places where elderberries aren’t common.

“What is your favorite color?” is the best I can do.

Of course it’s a good idea!
