"I'm not one to second-guess."
What does that tell you about the owner of the quote?

So, I always thought it was "I'll bring you up(at da register)" but I noticed in a movie subtitle today that it was "I'll ring you up." Now, that actually shocked me cuz I can almost swear that I have been hearing it as "bring you up." Any insites?
Improbably means very unlikely.
To second-guess is to infer the unspoken intentions of another person from incomplete information.
It has always been "ring you up at the cash register" -- old-fashioned cash registers had a bell sound when the cash drawer opened on the completion of the transaction, which is where that expression comes from. If you thought it was "bring" that was either you mishearing the phrase or you confusing it with "bring up", which can either mean to fetch or to raise a child to adulthood. And the term is properly spelled "insight".
