So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's from the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy and is what the Dolphins say as they leap out of the water to escape from Earth.

From the movie version:
In the film's opening, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Stephen Fry) narrates that the dolphins, the second most-intelligent creatures on Earth, had attempted to warn mankind about the planet's impending destruction, but humans had interpreted the dolphins' communications as tricks. The dolphins considered their mission a failure and left the planet, leaving their final message to humans as "So long, and thanks for all the fish."
