"Favorite Clint Eastwood Quote?" Topic

Inspired by this thread: TMP link

Bounty Hunter: A man's gotta make a livin'.
Josey Wales: Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy.

Dirty Harry 2: "A mans gotta know his limitations."

Josey Wales: Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?

" Go ahead make my day." Dirty Harry

Nothing like a good piece of hickory.

Josey Wales to bounty hunter: "Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy."

Also from Josey Wales:

Josey: You be Ten Bears?
Ten Bears: I am Ten Bears.
Josey: (spits tobacco) I'm Josey Wales.
Ten Bears: I have heard. You're the Gray Rider. You would not make peace with the Blue Coats. You may go in peace. Josey: I reckon not. Got nowhere to go.
Ten Bears: Then you will die.
Josey: I came here to die with you. Or live with you. Dying ain't so hard for men like you and me, it's living that's hard; when all you ever cared about has been butchered or raped. Governments don't live together, people live together. With governments you don't always get a fair word or a fair fight. Well I've come here to give you either one, or get either one from you. I came here like this so you'll know my word of death is true. And that my word of life is then true. The bear lives here, the wolf, the antelope, the Comanche. And so will we. Now, we'll only hunt what we need to live on, same as the Comanche does. And every spring when the grass turns green and the Comanche moves north, he can rest here in peace, butcher some of our cattle and jerk beef for the journey. The sign of the Comanche, that will be on our lodge. That's my word of life.
Ten Bears: And your word of death?
Josey: It's here in my pistols, there in your rifles. I'm here for either one.
Ten Bears: These things you say we will have, we already have.
Josey: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
Ten Bears: It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double-tongues. There is iron in your word of death for all Comanche to see. And so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron, it must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life… or death. It shall be life. (he takes his knife and cuts his hand. Josey does the same and they grasp each others hand.) So shall it be.

Harry: "Personnel?! Only a-holes work in personnel!"
Harry's boss: "I worked in personnel for ten years!"
Harry: "Well…."

This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy; and it makes a distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it.

It's hard to choose between "Nobody, and I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog" and "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."

"Right turn, Clyde."

To Gene Hackman in Unforgiven- "Deserves ain't got nuthin to do with it"

From "The Gauntlet"…

"Nag, nag, nag…"

More of a Chief Dan George quote than a Clint Eastwood one:

Josey Wales: When I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long.

Lone Watie: I notice when you get to DISlikin' someone they ain't around for long neither.

Josey Wales is littered with good quotes – many not delivered by Mr. Wales. I reckon so.

also from The Gauntlet

"…'cause I got this badge, I got this gun, and I got the love of Jesus right here in my pretty green eyes."

Another one for "A mans gotta know his limitations"

From Unforgiven

(After sheriff says "you just shot an unarmed man!")
"Then he should have armed himself, if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend."

From Heartbreak Ridge, to the new recruits;

"I've drunk more beer, pissed more blood and banged more ***** than all you numb-nuts put together….."

From "White Hunter Black Heart"

John Wilson: I would like to tell you a little story.
Mrs. MacGregor: Oh, I love stories.
John Wilson: Well, you mustn't interrupt now, because you're way too beautiful to interrupt people. When I was in London in the early 40's, I was dining one evening at the Savoy with a rather select group of people, and sitting next to me was a very beautiful lady, much like yourself.
Mrs. MacGregor: Now you're pulling my leg.
John Wilson: Now, just listen, dear. Well, we were dining and the bombs were falling, and we were all talking about Hitler and comparing him with Napoleon, and we were all being really brilliant. And then, suddenly, this beautiful lady, she spoke up and said that was the thing she didn't mind about Hitler, was the way he was treating the Jews. Well, we all started arguing with her, of course. Though, mind you, no one at the table was Jewish. But she persisted. Are you listening, honey?
Mrs. MacGregor: Mustn't interrupt Daddy.
John Wilson: That's right. You're way too beautiful for that. Anyway, she went on to say that that's how she felt about it, that if she had her way, she would kill them all, burn them in ovens, like Hitler. Well, we all sat there in silence. Then finally, I leaned over to her and I said, "Madam, I have dined with some of the ugliest bitches in my time. And I have dined with some of the dest ugly bitches in this world. But you, my dear, are the ugliest bitch of them all." Well, anyway, she got up to leave and she tripped over a chair and fell on the floor. And we all just sat there. No one raised a hand to help her. And finally when she picked herself up I said to her one more time: "You, my dear, are the ugliest bitch I have ever dined with." Well, you know what happened? The very next day, she reported me to the American Embassy. And they brought me in for reprimand. And then when they investigated it, they found out she was a German agent. And they locked her up.
[smiles]
John Wilson: Isn't that amazing?
Mrs. MacGregor: Why did you tell me that story?
John Wilson: Oh, I don't know. It wasn't because I thought you were a German agent, honey. But I was tempted tonight to say the very same thing to you. I didn't want you to think I had never said it before. You, madam, are the – Well, you know the rest.

Josie Wales: Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.

"Go ahead, punk. Make my day."

"My mistake, four coffins"

" 'See you later idiots'. It's for you…"

I like this one.
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?

from Two Mules for Sister Sara

Sara: Don't you want a woman of your own?
Hogan: What for?
Sara: To share your name, bear your children, be a companion.
Hogan: To ask me to quit drinking, quit gambling and save my money? And to bitch about her aches and pains all day? No thanks!

"A man's got to know his limitations."

This is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world. It can blow your head clean off. You've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky?

Blondie: You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

So many good ones to choose from ! Josey Wales, Kelly's Heroes, Space Cowboys, etc. !!!!!

When I see "A mans gotta know his limitations", I can't but help think how that applies to the use (or, in that case, the non-use of apostrophes).

My vote is for: "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."

Make my day.

"I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it."

Heartbreak Ridge: "Well, it seemed like the thing to do, sir."

"I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it."

"Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power."

Two from Unforgiven.

Kid – I ain't never killed no one before.
Bill – Well you sure killed the hell out of that fella.

Kid – Well I guess he had it comin'.
Bill – We all got it comin'.

Deserve's ain't got nothin' to do with it.

I sympathise with your sentiments, Andy.

Sudden Impact:
"Listen, punk. To me you're nothin' but dog, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dog It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog ya!"

"You see, I understand you men were just playin' around, but the mule, he just doesn't get it. Course, if you were to all apologize… [the men laugh] I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. Gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it…"
