• It seems like Clint Eastwood can never stop being badass.

Leary: Do you have what it takes to take a bullet, or is life too precious? Frank: Well I'll be thinkin' about that when I'm pissin' on your grave.

• This Multitasked Conversation:

Frank Horrigan: Go ahead and shoot, dammit. Lilly Raines: They can't see inside. If they fire, you'll be hit. Mitch Leary: I want you to thank me first, Frank. Horrigan: Shut up and shoot. Lilly: All right, Frank. Mitch: All right, Frank. Lilly: Shooters, stand by to fire. Wait for my command. Mitch: [Cocks the gun] Sleep well, my friend. Horrigan: Just one thing: aim high. Mitch: What? Lilly: Aim high. Horrigan: Now! Mitch: [Sees the microphone and realizes Horrigan has been talking to Raines] You bastard!

• Malkovich gets a couple of great moments, too. For instance, the scene where a couple of duck hunters stumble upon him testing out his new homemade composite gun. They're all impressed and admiring, until they find out he plans to use it to assassinate the President.

Hunters burst out laughing... until they realize he's dead serious. Hunter: What would you wanna do that for, mister? Mitch: Why did you kill that bird, asshole? BLAM!

• Also, when Horrigan has Mitch at gunpoint. Mitch, who is in the middle of pulling Horrigan to safety, just closes his mouth around the barrel, daring him to shoot.
  • Which was improvised by John Malkovich.
