A lot of people quote this as a really tough line: > [@](#): > > 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? But to be honest, I think the reply shows a lot of balls: > [@](#): > > I gots to know. ---

“Do or do not, there is no try.” From the toughest, green Muppet ever. Jack Bauer has said “Let’s get something straight, kid. The only reason you’re still conscious is because I don’t want to carry you. Now get in the van.” That’s complete badassery right there. Or anything from boot camp in Full Metal Jacket. ---

I contributed this to a recent famous quotes thread. You really need the entire scene for [Fuck the Bonus](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77uY4FTWwvE) to have its proper effect. ---

Pacino had a few in _Scarface_ “Hey, Sosa. Let’s get this straight now. I never fucked anybody over in my life didn’t have it coming to them. You got that?

An unlikely one I saw in “Men’s Health” yesterday: Dwight Schrute: “In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, ‘Ow, I hurt my leg. I can’t run. A lion eats me. I’m dead.’ Well, I’m not dead. I’m the lion. You’re dead.” ---

There’s one that stuck with me from an old sci-fi B-movie starring Dolph Lundgren, although I can’t remember the title. Lundgren’s partner, a tough-ass black dude, is undercover infiltrating this gang of educated, snooty white boys who wear Armani and drive sportscars. Trying to make small talk, one of them asks the tough black dude, “What college did you attend?” in a Thurston Howell voice. The tough black dude fires back, “I went to the University of _Suck My Dick_! You got anymore stupid questions, or are we gonna’ do some business?!” ---

John Wayne had some good ones: In “True Grit” Ned Pepper: What’s your intention? Do you think one on four is a dogfall? Rooster Cogburn: I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience. Which’ll it be? Ned Pepper: I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man. Rooster Cogburn: Fill your hands, you son of a bitch. I don’t remember which John Wayne movie this is from maybe “Flame of the Barbary Coast”, but Wayne’s playing cards and the dealer’s cheating. Wayne said to the dealer: “I’ll take the next card off the top.” ---

From “Man On Fire” I forget the exact words, but here is the most of it: Creasey: What did you do? Bad Guy: I did what the boss told me to do. Creasey: What the boss told you to do?

> [@tds1273](#): > > Silent Bob’s only line from _Dogma_. Said to a wide eyed passenger after throwing one(or both?) of the fallen angels off the train- “No ticket.” Homage to Indiana Jones, when he tosses the Nazis off the blimp (I think? Maybe a train) - still a badass line.
