Dirty Harry

Now you know why they call me "Dirty Harry". I get every dirty job that comes along.

[to Callahan] Left hand. Let's see the gun.[Harry pulls out his .44 Magnum] My! That's a big one.

[last word to Callahan as he threatens to kill a young boy fishing] Drop the gun, creep! I'll blow his brains out! [chuckles evilly] Drop the fucking gun!

You gotta be kidding. I don't got any time to break in any newcomers. Why don't you do this boy a favor ... if I need a partner, I'll get me someone who knows what the hell he's doin'.

[to Gonzalez] Sociology? Oh, you'll go far — that's if you live ... Just don't let your college degree get you killed 'cause I'm liable to get killed along with ya.

No wonder they call him Dirty Harry. Always get the shit-end of the stick.

[to a school bus driver] Hear me, you old hag, I'm telling you to drive or I'll decorate this bus with your brains.

Mayor: The City of San Francisco does not pay criminals not to commit crimes. Instead, we pay a police department.

Lt. Al Bressler: Just go where you're told, do what you're told, play it straight down the line ... Nothing cute, nothing fancy. Just pay the ransom money and report back here.

Gonzalez was obeying orders from his superior, me ... he didn't know anything about it. And when this mess is over, if he [the Chief] wants my badge, well, he can have that too.
