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

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.

Of course it’s a good idea!
