Life, Chaim Topol as Reb Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof (1971)


[to God] It may sound like I'm complaining, but I'm not. After all, with Your help, I'm starving to death. Oh, dear Lord. You made many many poor people. I realize, of course, it's no shame to be poor... but it's no great honor either. So what would be so terrible... if I had a small fortune?

AFI #051 Clint Eastwood as Harry Callahan from Dirty Harry (1971)

Callahan: I know what you're thinkin', punk. You're thinkin' did he fire six shots or only five? Now to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all this excitement. But bein' this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and it'll blow your head clean off, You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?
