Someone made a post on the IMDB message boards last april (2003) asking what film that quote from. Over 700 replies since then adn the general consesus is that everyone knows it, and everyone can find some variation of it but no-one knows what it is from.
There are currently 2 theories, the first is from the Simpson's episode where Herb Powell (Homer's Half Brother) comes back entitled "Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes" Homer is shopwn his brothers latest invention which is a drinking bird and he asks "What does it do?" to which his brother replies "It doesn't Do anything, Thats the beauty of it". However Fox are very hot on people putting Simpsons scripts online so if someone has it on DVD and could check please.
the second theory is that it doesn't exist as a film quote but has been floating around the internet for so long as a suspected one that it has rooted in the general sub-conscious.
My 2-cents, it seems like the Simpsons one!!
