"The restoration of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, thanks to the original materials provided by the Leone family and the producer Alberto Grimaldi." "You're from Baker?" "Tell Baker that I told him all that I know already." "Tell him I want to live in peace, understand?" "There is no use to go on tormenting me!" "I know nothing at all about that case of coins." "Now that gold has disappeared, but if he'd listened... we could have avoided this altogether." "I went to the army court." "There were no witnesses." "They couldn't uncover any more." "I can't tell Baker what happened to the money." "Go back and tell him that." "Word's around you had a visitor... and Baker knows it." "Name of Jackson." "Well..." "Jackson was here... or Baker's got it all wrong." "He's not wrong." "Maybe Baker would like to know just what you and Jackson had to say... about the cash box." "That's not what I'm being paid for." "I'm only interested in what name Jackson's hiding under now." "Why do you think Jackson may be assuming another name?" "I would have found him already." "When I start off to find somebody, I find him." "That's why they pay me." "What is Baker paying you?" "That your family?" "Yes." "Nice family." "What does he pay you for murdering me?" "Five hundred dollars... to get the name." "The name." "Carson." "Bill Carson." "That's what he calls himself now." "That's a lot of money... 1,000." "A thousand dollars?" "And some in gold." "That's a tidy sum." "But when I'm paid, I always see the job through." "It's you." "Any information?" "Too much." "He said quite a bit that should interest you... and one or two things that interested me." "Such as?" "The name Jackson's hiding under is Bill Carson." "That's your bit." "Keep talking." "He also mentioned something about a certain cash box... which just happened to disappear." " That's my bit." " Anything else?" "Not enough for you?" "Well, you don't have to worry." "He won't say anything to anybody again." "Oh, yeah, yeah." "Perfect." "Here you are." "Here." "This is for you." "You did a good job for me." "Worth $500." "Yeah." "I almost forgot." "He gave me a thousand." "I think his idea was that I kill you." "But you know the pity is, when I'm paid, I always follow my job through." " You know that." " No!" "Angel Eyes..." "No." "No pistol, amigo." "It won't do you any good." "There are three of us." "You know you've got a face beautiful enough to be worth $2,000?" "Yeah." "But you don't look like the one who'll collect it." "A couple steps back." "Thank you." "How much are you worth now?" "How much?" "Two thousand dollars." " That's right... $2,000." " Yeah." "You'll pay for this!" "I hope you end up in a graveyard... with the cholera and the rabies and the plague!" "Cut me loose!" "Cut me loose, you filthy bastard!" "Put me down!" "I hope your mother ends up in a two-dollar whorehouse!" "Cut me loose!" "You can still save yourself." "Let me go, and I'll pardon you." "Let me go!" "I think I feel sick." "The blood is bursting through my..." "I'm dry, Blondie." "Water." "You swine!" "You son of a bitch!" "Let me go!" "You're brave with a man who's tied up!" "Come back!" "Come back and fight!" "You bastard." "Who the hell is that?" "One bastard goes in, another comes out." "Cut it out!" "Cut it out!" "I'm an honest farmer!" "I'm innocent of any..." "So, you're an honest farmer." "You recognize this man?" "Yeah, it's you." "Me?" "Who says so?" "You can't even read." "Yeah, roll it up." "Roll it up." "I'll give you a good idea where you can put it." "To hell with all you sheriffs and deputies and all who gave birth to you." "Hey, everybody, look!" "He's giving him the filthy money!" "Judas!" "You sold my hide!" "But you won't enjoy any of that money... not a penny." "If there's justice in the world, every penny will go to the undertakers." "You know who you are?" "You want to know whose son you are?" "You don't, I do." "Everybody does." "You're the son of a thousand fathers, all bastards like you." "And your mother... your mother..." "She's..." "You bastard!"

"Throw it over the roof beam." "That's it." "Now get on that." "That's right." "Now make sure the rope is tight." "It's got to hold the weight of a pig." "Now put the rope around your neck."

"Who the hell are you?" "Carson." "My name is Bill Carson now." "It's Carson." "Surprise attack." "All dead." "My name is Jackson, not Carson." "Carson, yeah, yeah." "Glad to meet you, Carson." "I'm Lincoln's grandfather." "What did you say about the dollars?" "200,000... all mine." "Was the Third Cavalry's." "Baker has nothing." "The gold..." "I hid the gold." "The gold is safe." "Where?" "Where, here?" "Here?" "Talk!" "In the cemetery." " Which cemetery?" " The one... on Sad Hill." "There's a grave by..." "Which grave?" "Have a name?" "Have a number?" "Come on, you dummy, talk." "There's no number." "There's a name." "It's written..." "Yes?" "Water!" "You talk first?" "I'll give you water later." "Sad Hill Cemetery." "Okay." "In the grave." "Okay." "But it must have a name or a number on it?" "There must be a thousand, five thousand!" "Don't die?" "Don't die." "I'll get you water." "Stay there." "Don't move." "I'll get you water." "Don't die until later, you son of a..." "Get away from there!" " He's dead." " Yeah." "I'll kill you." "If you do that, you'll always be poor... just like the greasy rat that you are." "If I were you, I'd keep me alive." "What did he tell you?" "A name." " A name on a grave." " What name?" "Blondie, don't die." "Blondie, don't die." "I'm your friend." "Please don't die." "Please!" "I'm your friend." "Come on." "I'll help you." "I'll help you." "Don't move." "I'll be right back." "Here's the water." "Don't die like that pig." "Hey, Blondie, here's water." "Water, Blondie." "Don't drink, don't drink." "Is no good for you." "Feel better?" "Blondie, what's the matter?" "Please, don't die." "Hey, open up!" "Open up!" "Hurry!" "Settle down." "Settle down." "Who's there?" "What do you mean, "Who's there?" You think I'm the enemy?" "If I were a Yankee, you wouldn't have time to ask me that." "Come on." "Sergeant, listen to this corporal for a moment." "Yes, sir." "Sergeant, I have a gravely wounded man here, if he's not dead already." " He's still alive?" " Well, he seems to be." " What happened?" " It was a trap." " Only the two of us got away." " Name and traveling papers." "Here." "Corporal Bill Carson." "Third Regiment, 2nd Cavalry Squadron, arriving from San Rafael." "Is that enough?" "Are you reading when this man is dying?" "Why, Corporal, we're trying to withdraw and you're looking for an infirmary?" "If you want one, you'll have to make yourself a Yankee prisoner." " So where are we?" " Near Apache Canyon." " Apache Canyon?" " Apache Canyon." "Is a Mission San Antonio around here?" "Sure, 18 miles south." "Take him there." "The brothers take care of any wounded, no matter what the color of his uniform." "And keep your eyes open, the area is full of Yankees." "Thank you." "Goodbye, Sergeant." "Take care." " I've got a very sick man here." " But we have no more beds here." "Let him have yours." " Where's Pablo Ramirez?" " Father Ramirez." "He's away at the moment." "He should be back any day now." "Well, it doesn't matter." "For the moment, we take very good care of my friend." "And may God be praised." "In case you didn't know it, God is on our side too... because he hates the Yanks, Blondie?" "Blondie?" "Father, is he still breathing?" " Yes, of course." " You're heavy." "There." "All right, put a fresh bandage on him." "Put him in my cell." "Easy." " Out, soldier." "Out you go." "Come on." " Look out for him, please." "He's like a brother to me." "Hey, Father, I..." "Father, did he speak?" "Did he say anything?" "Father, did he ask for me?" "Did he speak about anything, Father?" "Oh, no, he hasn't spoken as yet." "But you mustn't worry." "He's both young and strong." "That's what's kept him going until now." "He should regain his strength in a very short time." "Thank you, Father." "You don't know how much this boy's life means to me." "Thanks be to Jesus." "Thanks to all of you." "Hey, Blondie." "The old father tells me you'll be up and around in a few days." "You're very lucky to have me so close when it happened." "Think if you'd been on your own." "Look, I mean, when... when one is ill... it's good to have somebody close by... friends or relations." "Do you have parents, Blondie?" "A mother?" "Not even a mother." "No one?" "You're all alone?" "Like me, Blondie." "We're all alone in the world." "I have you, you have me." "Only for a little while, I mean." "It had to happen now." "What a dirty, rotten trick of fate." "We could have all that money in our hands." "I must tell you the truth." "In my place, you would do the same thing." "It's all over for you now." "There's nothing anyone can do anymore." "God help me." "It's my fault." "Mine, mine, mine." "I'll tell you one thing, Blondie." "If I knew that my last hour had come, I swear... in my place... in your place, I would do the same thing." "I would tell about the gold." "Yes, I would." "I'd tell the name on the grave." "After all, what good is the money to you if you're dead?" "I know the name of the cemetery, but you know how many graves are there?" "Please, Blondie." "Please, have a little?" "Here." "Coffee." "Please, tell me the name... on the grave." "If I get my hands on the $200,000..." "I'll always honor your memory." "I swear, I'll always honor your memory." "Come closer." "Tell me." "Why, you dirty..." "I'll sleep better... knowing my good friend is by my side... to protect me." ""Tuco, water." Here's water." "But if I get that name from you, I'll give you water." "All right, you dirty skunk, get your ass off the bed." "Come on, the party's over." "The wagon is all ready to go." "From the way the wounded are pouring into this place, we better leave... before we get caught up in the war." " Tuco, Father Ramirez is back." " Yeah." "This is something I have to look into." "It'll only take a minute." "Get moving." " Where, this way?" " Yes." "Don't you recognize me?" "It's me, Tuco." "Let me embrace you." "I don't know the right thing." "I was just passing by here, I said to myself..." ""I wonder if my brother remembers his brother."" "Did I do wrong?" "It doesn't matter." "I'm very happy." "You have seen me, Tuco." "Yeah, well, I'm very glad I came." "Oh, my uniform!" "It's a long story." "But let's talk about you." "It's more important." "You look very well." "A bit thin, perhaps, but... you were always thin, Pablito?" "What about our parents?" "Only now do you think of them." "To begin after nine years." "Nine years?" "So it's nine years." "Nine years!" "Our mother has been dead a long time now." "Our father died only a few days ago." "That's why I was away." "He asked for you to be there, but there was only me." "And you?" "Outside of evil, what else have you managed to do?" "It seems to me you once had a wife someplace." "Not one." "Lots of them." "One here, one there, wherever I found them." "Go on, preach me a sermon, Pablo." "What good would that be?" "Just keep on the way you're going." "Go away." " And the Lord have mercy on your soul." " Sure, I'll go, I'll go." "While I'm waiting for the Lord to remember me..." "I, Tuco Ramirez, brother of Brother Ramirez... will tell you something." "You think you're better than I am." "Where we came from, if one didn't want to die of poverty... one became a priest or a bandit." "You chose your way, I chose mine." "Mine was harder!" "You talk about Mother and Father." "You remember, when you left to become a priest, I stayed behind." "I must have been ten, twelve." "I don't remember which, but I stayed." "I tried, but it was no good." "Now I will tell you something." "You became a priest because you were too much of a coward to do what I do." "Tuco." "Please forgive me, brother." "Ah, my belly's full." "Nice guy, my brother." "I didn't tell you my brother was in charge here?" "Everything." "Like the pope almost." "He's in charge in Rome." "Yeah, yeah, my brother, he say to me..." ""Stay, brother." "Don't go home." "We never see each other." "Here there's plenty to eat and drink." "Bring your friend too."" "Whenever we see each other, he never lets me go." "It's always the same story." "My brother... he is crazy about me." "That's so." "Even a tramp like me, no matter what happens..." "I know there's a brother somewhere who will never refuse me a bowl of soup." "Sure." "Well, after a meal, there's nothing like a good cigar." "Here's the Sierra Magdalena." "Going this way, we cross the Rio Grande." "That sure is a long way." "Here to the northwest, through all of Texas..." " After that..." " Then what?" "When we get there, I'll tell you." "You're not worried, are you?" "Those men aren't worried about anything anymore, are they?" "But since I'm alive and I've noticed we'll be crossing Yankee and Confederate lines a few times." "I thought you might tell me where we're going." "Towards $200,000." "Is that good enough for you?" "Hey, wake up, you." " The troops are coming." "Come on." " Blue or gray?" "They're gray like us." "Let's say "hello" to them and then get going." "Hoorah!" "Hoorah for the Confederacy!" "Hoorah!" "Down with General Grant!" " Hoorah for General... what's his name?" " Lee." "Lee!" "God is with us because he hates the Yanks too!" "God's not on our side 'cause he hates idiots also." "Hut, two, three, four." "Prisoners of war, forward!" "March!" "Halt!" "Left face!" "Form a single file." "Move!" " Jonathan Frost!" " Present!" " Richard McGilley!" " Present!" " Nathaniel Sullivan!" " Present." " Robert Clark!" " Present." " Sam Richmond!" " Present." "Bill Carson." "I said Bill Carson!" "Hey, Blondie, isn't that Angel Eyes?" "All right, what's he doing, sleeping?" "Yeah, and you better be Bill Carson." "Bill Carson!" "Yeah, that's me." "Please, Carson... answer "present."" "What are you, deaf?" "Now suppose you say "present," Carson." "I like big fat men like you." "When they fall, they make more noise... and sometimes they never get up." "Wallace... that's enough." "Sergeant!" "The captain wants to see you right away." "Be sure these two get good treatment." "Hey, Blondie, did you hear that?" "Good treatment." "Yeah." "For the last time, Sergeant..." "I'm telling you, I want the prisoners treated as prisoners." "No more brutality." "There's hundreds of prisoners out there and only a few men to guard them." "Now what am I supposed to do?" "I have to have respect." "I think that you'll manage to gain their respect by treating them better." "Are our men treated that well in Andersonville camp?" "I don't give a goddamn what they do in Andersonville." "While I'm in charge here, the prisoners are not to be tortured... or cheated or murdered." "That an accusation?" "Sergeant, gangrene is eating my leg away, not my eyes." "I know the prisoners here are being robbed systematically." "I know there's scum around who are bivouacked near the camp... waiting for someone to deliver this loot." "But as long as I'm commandant, I won't permit any such trickery." "Am I clear?" "Yes, sir... just as long as you're the commandant." "Yes, Sergeant." "I know this leg means I won't last very long... but I pray I can manage to have enough time to amass evidence... and bring to a court-martial... all those who discredit and dishonor... the uniform of the Union." "I wish you luck." "You and the others better lay low for a few days." "No, I'll keep this." "You go." "Wallace will let you know." " Bring me Carson." " Right." "Listen, Angel Eyes said for us to lay low for a few days... but we'll keep close enough to keep an eye on things." "Come on, saddle your horses." "Get in." "Come on in, Tuco." "Don't be bashful." "There's no formalities here." "It's been a long time." "You're hungry." "Sit down, eat." "I knew it, I knew it." "The minute I saw you, I said to myself..." ""Look at that pig, Angel Eyes." "I'll bet he got himself an easy job... and he never forgets a friend."" "I never forget old friends, Tuco." " Right." " It's good to see old friends again." "Good." "Especially when they've come from so far away... and have so much to talk about." "And you do have a lot to talk about, haven't you?" "You were captured near Fort Craig." "Well, if you were with Sibley, that means then that you... were coming from Santa Fe." " Was it hard crossing the desert?" " Very hard." "Especially if you don't have anything to drink." "Why are you going under the name of Bill Carson now?" "One name is as good as another." "Not wise to use your own name." "Like you." "I'll bet they don't call you Angel Eyes." "Sergeant Angel Eyes." "Like a little music with your meal, Tuco?" "Music?" "Yes, it's very good..." "very good for the digestion." "So..." "Bill Carson's a fake name?" "That fake too?" "Bill Carson's name's written in it." "Have some." "It's Bill Carson's tobacco." "More feeling." "Was Carson dead or alive when you found him?" "What'd he tell you about the money?" "I don't..." "I don't know what you're talking about." "How's your digestion now?" "You'd better talk." "I have nothing to tell you." "Play that fiddle, you!" "You can sure consider yourself much luckier than your pal." "Wallace will punch your friend as long as the song goes." "So many of us have had a session in there." "Enough." "Enough." "I talk." "I talk." "What did he say about the money?" "It's buried in a grave." " Where?" " Sad Hill..." "Sad Hill Cemetery." "Which grave?" "I don't know." "I don't know, I tell you." "Ask Blondie." "He knows the name on the grave." "Put those clothes on." " Why?" " We're going for a ride." " Where?" " To find $200,000." "I know the name of the cemetery now... and you know the name of the grave." "You're not gonna give me the same treatment?" "Would you talk?" "No, probably not." "That's what I thought." "Not that you're any tougher than Tuco... but you're smart enough to know that talking won't save you." "And Tuco... is he..." "Not yet." "But he's in very good hands." "You've changed partners, but you still got the same deal." "I'm not greedy." "I'm only taking half." "There's two of us." "It should make it easier than just one." "Yeah." "Hold it." "That's it, don't move." "Now don't breathe." "Still." "That's it." "Got it." "Thank you." "Hey, Corporal, afraid he'll get lost?" "Where's the rebel going?" "To hell, with a rope around his neck and a price on his head." "$3,000, friend." "That's a lot of money for a head." "I'll bet they didn't even pay you a penny for your arm." "I told you once, friend, if I ever get you down... you're gonna need a lot of help to get up again." "You're a lot luckier than that one." "Grub, a rope, and you're all finished." "And there isn't any partner this time to shoot you down." "If your friends stay out in the damp, they're liable to catch a cold, aren't they?" "Or a bullet." "Hear that, boys?" "Come on out here." "Since we're all going in the same direction, might as well go together." "One, two, three, four, five, six." "Six..." "Perfect number." "Isn't three the perfect number?" "Yeah." "But I got six more bullets in my gun." "Sure would like to put your paw on it?" "I would like to piss." "It's rough." "I've been shaken up on this train nearly ten hours now." "You smell like a pig already... but let's not try to make things any worse." "Get going." "I can't while you're watching me." "You made a lot of noise, my friend?" "You don't want to break our friendship?" "Well, I'll break it." "Halt." "Take your places." "Ready!" "Aim!" "Fire!" "Slim, take care of the horses." "I've been looking for you for eight months." "Whenever I should've had a gun in my right hand, I thought of you." "Now I find you in exactly the position that suits me." "I had lots of time to learn how to shoot with my left." "When you have to shoot, shoot." "Don't talk." "Every gun makes its own tune." "It's perfect timing, Large One." "Clem, follow him." "Just a minute." "I'll be right there." "Just give me a little time to get dressed, and I'll open up." "Put your drawers on and take your gun off." "How the hell did you get out of that pigsty?" "My own way." "I'm here with your old friend, Angel Eyes." "You talked, you traitor." "You talked." "No, I didn't talk." "If I did, I probably wouldn't be here now." "You, me..." "So only you know your half of the secret?" "I'm very happy you're working with me... and we're together again." "I get dressed, I kill him and be right back." "Oh, listen..." "I forgot to mention..." "He's not alone." "There's five of them." " Five?" " Yeah, five of them." "So that's why you came to Tuco?" "It doesn't matter." "I'll kill them all." "They shot him at close range." "Well, look who's here." "The other one will be along." "They'll come looking for us." "Watch out." "There's two of them." "I want that blond alive." "You, back there." "Come on, let's go." "Were you gonna die alone?" "Halt!" " Angel Eyes is mine?" " All right." ""See you soon... idi..."" ""Idiots."" "It's for you." "How peaceful and quiet, amigo." "Like a cemetery, for instance?" "There should be a bridge across that river." " We'd better wait for nightfall." " Trust in me, Blondie." "I got a good sense of where I'm going." "Tuco has taken you this far." "I will take you all the way..." "Gentlemen." " Tell the captain." " Yes, sir." "Come along now." "Follow me." "We found them near the perimeter, sir." " Where do you hail from?" " Illinois." " And you?" " I'm with him." "Any reason for being around here?" "We want to enlist, General." "You better learn to distinguish rank." "I'm a captain." "Get the hell out." "It sure as hell might be you today, so go write your will." "Yes, sir." "So you want to enlist?" "You gotta take a test to prove it." "Well, show me." "You've got a career." "At the least, I'd say you'll make colonel." " Really?" " Sure." "Like it says in the manual..." ""You've got every qualification... to become an expert in the use of weapons."" "For this, sir, is the most potent weapon in war." "The fighting spirit's in this bottle." "Volunteers." "You want to enlist?" "Let's go." "Come on, gentlemen." "Come on." "The shooting hasn't begun yet." "You're still in time." "Whoever has the most liquor to get the soldiers drunk and send them to be slaughtered..." "is the winner." "We and the ones over on the other side of the river only have one thing in common." "All of us reek of alcohol." "What did you say your name was?" "And you?" "No." "Names don't matter." "Yes, because soon you can join the gallant heroes of Branson Bridge." " We have two attacks a day." " Two attacks a day?" "Sure, the Rebs have decided that damn bridge... is the key to this whole area." "Stupid, useless bridge." "Flyspeck on headquarters' maps." "And headquarters has declared we must take that ridiculous flyspeck... even if all of us are killed." "Otherwise, the key will get rusty... and just be a spot on the wall." "And that's not all." "Both sides want the bridge intact." "Intact is how the South wants it... and we want it intact too." "You'll all turn to dust... but one thing is sure, boys:" "Branson Bridge will stand unbroken." "Is it bad to speak the way I do to volunteers?" "I've done a lot worse." "I've done it." "I've blown it up." "Boom!" "In here, I've destroyed it all." "It's a court-martial offense to imagine... to dream of blowing it up..." "a serious crime." "Even to think of destroying that bridge is just..." "Why not really blow it up, Captain?" "Yeah, Captain, it's nothing." "Let's scare the hell out of them." "I've been dreaming about it." "I've even worked out a plan." "I sure have." "The best time is after the attack... when there's a truce to get the wounded." "If I could do it..." "I could save many thousands of men." "But what I lack is the guts." "They're beginning their daily slaughter right on time." "Captain, all companies are awaiting your orders." "Be right there." "Let's go." "All right, friends... come along and enjoy the spectacle." "Companies, report!" "Company B ready!" "Company E ready!" "Company D ready!" "Companies, forward!" "It looks like the captain is really asking for a bullet in his guts." "Yeah." "I've never seen so many men wasted so badly." "I have a feeling it's really gonna be a good long battle." "Blondie?" "The money's on the other side of the river." "Where?" "Amigo, I said the other side, and that's enough." "But while the Confederates are there, we can't get across." "What would happen if somebody were to blow up that bridge?" "Yeah." "Then these idiots would go somewhere else to fight." "Maybe." "Doctor, quick, the captain's wounded." "Hurry, a stretcher." "Easy." "Easy now." "Get things ready." "A little of this will help." "Take a slug of this, Captain." "Keep your ears open." "What are you doing?" "No, leave me alone." "You realize we might be risking our lives." "Yeah, and if I get killed... you'll never get your hands on all that beautiful money." "Yeah, Tuco... it sure would be a pity." "Doc." "Doctor... could you help me live a little more?" "I expect good news." "Why don't we tell each other our half of the secret?" " Why don't we?" " You go first." "No, I think it's better that... you start." "All right." "The name of the cemetery is..." "Sad Hill." "Now it's your turn." "The name on the grave is..." "Arch Stanton." "Arch Stanton?" "Are you sure?" "Yeah, sure, I'm sure." "It'll be a lot easier with that." "Two can dig a lot quicker than one." "Dig." "You're not digging." "If you shoot me, you won't see a cent of that money." "Why?" "I'll tell you why." "'Cause there's nothing in there." "Why, you son of a..." "You thought I'd trust you?" "$200,000 is a lot of money." "We're gonna have to earn it." "How?" "I'll write the name on the bottom of this stone." "The gun." "You pig." "You want to get me killed?" "When'd you unload it?" "Last night." "You see, in this world, there's two kinds of people, my friend... those with loaded guns... and those who dig." " You dig." " Where?" "Here." "There's no name on it!" "There's no name here either." "You see, that's what Bill Carson told me." "It was the grave marked "Unknown"... right beside Arch Stanton." "Go ahead." "Blondie!" "It's all ours, Blondie!" "You're joking, Blondie." "You wouldn't play a joke on me like that." "It's no joke." "It's a rope, Tuco." "Now I want you to stand up there and put your head in that noose." "Well, now, seems just like old times." "Four for you... and four four for me." "Blond..." "Blondie." "Blondie!" "Blond!" "Blond..." "Blondie!" "Blondie." "Hey, Blond!" "You know what you are!" "Just a dirty son of a..."
