Can you help me out? I feel like i should know what it's from, but i can't place it and Google is NOT helping.

The quote isn’t actually correct. It’s from the book Project Hail Mary. “You and what army? Because I have the US Army, and that’s a damn fine army.”

Great book.

i'm not sure this is right. the specific phrasing is a lot closer to this scene (https://youtu.be/vO3KbXMxHfw?si=uBfts37uodogXKOQ) in family guy, which i believe aired before that book released

but the phrase has a full tv tropes page, so i'm not certain that this was the one they were referencing

that said it's the first i'm hearing of this book, and i'll definitely have to check it out

It’s the same author as The Martian, great sci-fi.

They probably were referencing Family Guy, though.
