Maybe you should.

        c                       "A Knight's Tale: Part 2"
        escape                  A\ Knight's\ Tale:\ Part\ 2
        literal                 A Knight's Tale: Part 2
        locale                  'A Knight\'s Tale: Part 2'
        shell                   "A Knight's Tale: Part 2"
        shell-always            "A Knight's Tale: Part 2"
        shell-escape            "A Knight's Tale: Part 2"
        shell-escape-always     "A Knight's Tale: Part 2"

bash command line completion gives me one of

        A\ Knight\'s\ Tale\:\ Part\ 2
        "A Knight's Tale: Part 2"
        'A Knight'\''s Tale: Part 2'
