Couric asked how many fans approach him and ask him to deliver the line - "Go ahead, make my day."

"Quite a few," he answered, laughing. "It's not annoying, but I - but I don't say it."

"Would you do it for me?" Couric asked.

"You'd be tough to resist," he responded, before saying it for her.

The two also discussed his latest film, "Hereafter," which opens in theaters on Oct. 22. Part of the interview will air Thursday night on the "CBS Evening News."
