Jeff Goldblum's first film role was an extra in Annie Hall starring Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. In a scene towards the end of the film, Allen's character is at a house party in the Hollywood hills, complaining to Keaton's character that everyone in LA is phony, braindead, and performatively spiritual. As he finishes his tirade, the film puts a button on his point by panning over to Jeff Goldblum. He's at this party, holding a phone to his hear and telling (presumably) his spiritual advisor, "I forgot my mantra!"
Such a dumb punchline, but it's lived rent-free in my head for decades now.
Sigourney Weaver too, right at the end of the movie.
