My best guess would be

"I'll have what she's having" from When Harry met Sally, 1989

You are copying (cp) everything from user she to the current user (~) while trying to keep everything as close as possible to the orginal (by using option -a).

So, I (the current user) will have what the user (she) is having (by copying the data with the -a option)
