{{examples
== Anime and Manga ==
Line 101:
* ''[[The Outlaw Josey Wales]]'' has several, most notably Josey's final confrontation with his nemesis. A runner up would be Chief Dan George's "hard candy" speech.
* ''[[The Good the Bad And The Ugly]]'' . In particular for Tuco and Bondie, the formers discussion with his brother who is a monk and Blondie's comforting of a dying soldier.
