## Anything Clint Eastwood says toward the end of Unforgiven, and maybe it’s not so much that the quotes are tough, but that he is tough in the scenes because he just walks right into the hornet’s nest, tells them he’s there to kill them, kills them, and walks out. I’ll just lift some from the IMDB page: Will Munny [Eastwood]: Well, he should have armed himself if he’s going to decorate his saloon with my friend. ## Will Munny: I’ve killed women and children. I’ve killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I’m here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned. ## Will Munny: Any man don’t wanna get killed better clear on out the back. Will Munny: All right, I’m coming out. Any man I see out there, I’m gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I’m not only gonna kill him, but I’m gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down. … You better bury Ned right! Better not go cuttin’ up, nor otherwise harm no whores. Or I’ll come back and kill every one of you sons-o-bitches. ---

The obligatory Dirty Harry quote, "I know what you’re thinking. “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? " Or a parody of the quote from Johnny Dangerously. Danny Vermin: I got something to stop him. Dutch: They made it for him special. It’s an eighty-eight Magnum. Danny Vermin: It shoots through schools. ---
