Viola: "I am the man" (II.ii.25)
Viola says this line in act 2 right after Malvolio brings her the ring from Olivia. Malvolio says Viola (Cesario) can return to Olivia's house only to express Orsino's love. Viola realizes Olivia is in love with Cesario, while Viola is in love with the Duke. Viola is in complete shock because she can't believe that Olivia loves her, even thought Viola is portrayed as a man. This is where the love triangle starts.
