I'll be back
Vow to return
A promise or threat to return, used as a casual farewell or to signal unfinished business.
The phrase gained iconic status from Arnold Schwarzenegger's delivery in *The Terminator* (1984), and now often carries a playful or ominous undertone depending on context: Don't go anywhere—I'll be back.
