Good one.

I suppose you've chosen all the quotes for the week and would imagine this scene from A Fish Called Wanda must be in there:

Archie: I'm really really sorry. I apologize unreservedly.

Otto: You take it back?

Archie: I do. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.

Otto: [thinks a moment] Okay.

Still looking for suggestions. "Wanda" is a great one. Will definitely use it this week. Thanks.

In case you seek more apologies, Scott, how about Elle in Legally Blonde, sort of an apology:

Elle: Excuse me.
[turns around and slaps David]
Elle: Why didn't you call me? We spent a beautiful night together and I haven't heard from you since.
David: [pause] I'm sorry?
Elle: Sorry for what? For breaking my heart, or for giving me the greatest pleasure I've ever known and just taking it away?
David: Both?
Elle: Well, forget it. I've spent too much time crying over you.
Girl: [after Elle has walked off] So, when did you wanna go out?

Including the HAL apology, inspired, and wow did HAL leave a mark in storytelling toolbox, lots of evil (or just misunderstood?) computers since then.

Fish Called Wanda, damn brilliant, we keep meaning to add it to our collection, too long since we've seen it, what a great apology scene.
