Tyriq Withers and Daniel Kaluuya found a way to have fun during Friday's nationwide flight shutdown.

The two actors were stuck in Eugene, Oregon, as they waited out the FAA ground stop. A local TV news crew caught up with them at the airport.

That is when Withers pulled out one of the internet's best-known lines.

"Where the hell can you go?"

"It's really upsetting me and my homegirl, because if you can't go to the airport, where the hell can you go?" Withers told the reporter.

The "Get Out" star standing next to him could not keep a straight face. Kaluuya burst out laughing.

Where the line comes from

Withers was riffing on the famous "Bella Noche" meme. The "I Know What You Did Last Summer" actor got it nearly word for word.

The original clip dates back to 2015. A woman named Hazel London spoke to a Baton Rouge TV station about a shooting at the Bella Noche nightclub in Louisiana.

With a friend at her side she delivered the line that became an internet classic: "It's upsetting me and my homegirl, 'cause we feel like, damn, if you can't go to Bella Noche, where the hell could you go?!"

Flights back in the air

Flights were cleared to take off again late Friday. The order had been issued under "extraordinary circumstances" because of safety concerns.

That means the pair most likely got where they were going. Whether that turned out to be Bella Noche is anyone's guess.
