First, I'm guessing you are asking because of Reinhardt's clue. I was search for the same answer...and I believe this is it: /// It comes from the movie "Midnight Cowboy" is my best guess. Goodluck to all, Chipleyfla ///
"What line are you in?" comes from John Steinbeck's last book, "The Winter of Our Discontent".
The Wikipedia link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Winter_of_Our_Discontent
and if you read the 'plot intro' (shown below), it starts to make sense. If this is not the correct answer, it is a real coincidence.
Wiki Plot Intro for Steinbeck's "The Winter of our discontent":
"The story revolves around New Englander Ethan Allen Hawley, who works as a clerk in a grocery store he used to own. His wife and children resent their lowly social and economic position, and don't put any value in the high levels of honesty and integrity that Ethan struggles to maintain in a corrupt society. Under this constant pressure, Hawley will eventually manage to get back the store by renouncing his morals, but the new-found wealth will not bring happiness."
Yes, this must be it.
