Falou o que tinha que falar (e saiu).
I haven't heard this expression, we would need more context to verify, but it seems to be coloquial, once it is so redudant. Anyway, that's my suggestion.
NOTE: I think Joao Bruno wanted to type "talked" instead of "talke", would I be right?

I know that \"cock of the walk\" means \"conceited\", but \"walk the walk\" is not the same. In oral speech, if the \"the\" is stressed, then my interpretatin is right. If it is not stressed, then Sormane interpretation is right.

falou o que era prometido,e cumpriu com a sua palavra
This gives the idea that he spoke his word (an outspoken person, perhaps) and then carried through what he had proposed to do.
