Is it
Wait a minute, wait a minute - you ain't heard nothin' yet... From The Jazz Singer (1927)
Reason
sleep 120 - waiting a minute twice, then it's exiting the program before 'nothing' is outputted

$\begingroup$ If true, would be better with two lines of sleep 60. $\endgroup$– DevsmanMar 29, 2016 at 18:29

$\begingroup$ @Devsman or even better two lines of "sleep 1m" although that might make it too easy. $\endgroup$ Mar 29, 2016 at 19:17

I believe it's
"If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all" from Bambi
Reason:
Sleep 120 gives you time to think of something nice to say. AS you couldn't, you don't say nothing, because the script has exited before you can say nothing

It is referencing to
Alfred Hitchcock - The Birds
Reason
It lasts 120 minutes and has no ending credits
But I might be missing something since I can only figure out a movie title, not really a quote from this movie.
