The ending (That's the stuff dreams are made of)
F R O M
THE MALTESE FALCON (1941)

Movies, from time to time, produce catchphrase lines that audiences always remember. One such line came from the ending of this Humphrey Bogart film, THE MALTESE FALCON. The film itself is an incredibly well-written and acted thriller, and in this ending sequence, Bogart tells the woman he loved that he's going to turn her in for her crimes, even going so far as to describe her upcoming jail experience for her! The investigators arrive and take her away, and the mysterious Maltese Falcon itself, which had been at the center of the entire story, is finally found and discovered. One investigator asks "What is that thing?", to which Bogart replies "That's the stuff dreams are made of", implying all of the dreams, mostly forgotten and lost, that had taken place revolving around the Maltese Falcon.
