ⓘ A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do Il s'agit d'une phrase que l'on associe généralement aux vieux westerns dans lesquels les héros expriment leur détermination à agir en hommes, en dépit du danger. Cette formule ("un homme, un vrai, ne recule pas devant l'obstacle") s'utilise aujourd'hui de façon allusive et sur le mode ironique lorsque quelqu'un doit exécuter une tâche simple (l'équivalent français est "quand il faut y aller, il faut y aller").
