 However, the surviving robber grabs the fleeing waitress Loretta (Mara Corday), holds his gun to her head, and threatens to shoot.Instead of backing off, Harry points his .44 Magnum revolver into the man's face and dares him to shoot, saying with clenched teeth and in his characteristic rough grumble, ""Go ahead, make my day,"" meaning that if the robber attempts to harm Loretta in any way, Harry would be happy to dispatch the robber.At the end of the film, Harry, again, says ""Come on, make my day"" just before shooting Mick the rapist, who aims his stolen shotgun at Harry's lover, Jennifer Spencer.
