"You're from Baker?" "Tell Baker that I told him all that I know already." "Tell him I want to live in peace understand?" "That it's 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 to me 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." "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 them." "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?" "$500 to get the name!" "The name!" "Carson." "Bill Carson." "That's what he calls himself now." "Here's a lot of money: $1000." "$1000 and some in gold." "That's a tidy sum." "But I have my rule." "When I'm paid and  I always see the Job through." "It's you." "He talked?" "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." "And then?" "He also mentioned somethin' about a certain cash box which Just happened to disappear." "That's my bit." "Anything else?" "Not enough for you huh?" "Well you don't have to worry." "He'll never say anything to anybody again!" "Perfect." "Here this is for you." "You did a good Job for me." "Worth $500!" "I almost forgot." "He gave me $1000." "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 pistol amigo." "It won't do you any good." "There are three of us." "You know that you have a face beautiful enough to be worth $2000?" "Ah," "But you don't look like the one who will collect it." "A couple of steps back." "Thank you." "How much you worth now?" "How much?" "$2000!" "That's right $2000." "Not bad, eh?" "!" "HiJo de puta que te pario!" "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!" "Cut me loose!" "You can still save yourself." "Let me go and I'll pardon you." "Let me go!" "I feel sick." "The blood is rushing...." "l'm dry." "Agua!" "Water!" "You swine!" "You son of a bitch!" "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!" "Who says so?" "You can't even read." "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!" "Look!" "He's giving him the filthy money!" "Judas!" "You've sold my hide!" "But you won't enjoy any of that money not a penny." "If there's Justice that money will go to the undertakers!" "Every penny of it." "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...." "You bastard!" "Your mother it's better not to talk of her." "I never hurt anybody!"

"I run the risks." "So the next time I want more than half!" "You may run the risks my friend but I do the cutting." "If we cut down my percentage..." "Cigar?" "...it might interfere with my aim." "But if you miss you had better miss very well." "Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive he understands nothing about Tuco." "Nothing!"

"Stevens Baker and Jackson." "The thing that wasn't saved though was the coins." "But then the Army decides of course it ought to hold a hearing and Jackson's acquitted." "He disappears and becomes Bill Carson." "I know his name." "But you don't know Just who you're lookin' for and I do!" "And when he's found I'd be scared to be put in his shoes!" "Where is Carson?" "All I know is Carson re-enlisted." "The poor guy's minus an eye." "He lives with a girl called Maria who'll tell you." "She's a fresh young whore in the territory." "Where is she?"

"Anybody can miss a shot?" "Nobody misses when I'm at the end of the rope!" "You never had a rope around your neck?" "Well I'm going to tell you when that rope starts to pull tight you can feel the devil bite your ass!" "Yeah it's dangerous." "You're right, go down." "And then you must consider that a chicken thief like you would not ever be worth more than $ 3,000" "What do you mean?" "That a man like you, frankly there is no future" "What do you mean?"

"There are two kinds of spurs my friend." "...and those that come in by the window." "Take off that pistol belt." "It's empty." "Mine isn't." "Even when Judas hanged himself there was a storm too." "That could be cannon fire." "Cannon fire or storm it's all the same to you!" "You ever see this before my friend?" "Throw it over the roof beam." "That's it." "And 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!" "Yes very good." "It's too big for your neck?" "We'll fix that right away." "I have another system." "A little different than yours." "I don't shoot the rope." "I shoot the legs off the stool!" "Adios." "Welcome, my friend."

"Have you ever heard of such a Bill Carson?" "And you?" "Ever heard of someone called Canby?" "No?" "Well, he's a Yankee colonel decided to to tear us to pieces." "So we want to protect our skins." "And yet you come ask me if I know someone ..." "I have no idea what you outsiders could be thinking." "The Carson has a visor over the eye." "He is with the Third Cavalry." "If he is with the Third Cavalry, they have already departed." "To Glorietta." "Canby's men already follow them the trail." "Those poor devils." "And they still have the desert ahead." "I doubt any of them still alive." "And if they are still alive?" "Worse." "You must not have heard anything about Batterville" "It's one of those Yankees prison camps."

"They say people with fair skin can't take too much." "Like that you won't have to carry so much." "Where are we going?" "Where?" "Wherever I'm going." "Over that way." "Another 100 miles of beautiful sunbaked sand." "Even the armies are afraid to march through there." "Sibley's men are retreating up there." "Canby's men are coming here but no one will set foot in this hell except you and me." "One hundred miles." "That's a nice walk." "What was it you told me the last time?" "'If you save your breath I feel a man like you could manage it.'" "And if you won't manage it you'll die." "Only slowly." "Very slowly old friend." "After you please." "Start walking." "Taking a rest?" "Come on Blondie we don't have very far to go." "Only 70 miles." "Only eight and a half hours more before sunset." "That's not too bad." "Come on!" "Okay, let's eat."

" Two hundred thousand dollars, all mine." "It was the Third Cavalry's." "Baker has nothing." "The gold..." "I hid the gold." "The gold is safe!" "Where?" "Here?" " Talk." " The... cemetery." "Which cemetery?" "The one... on Sad Hill." "There's a grave by the...." "Which grave?" "Have a name?" "It has a number?" "Come on, you dummy, talk!" "There's no number." "There's a name." "It's written." "Water!" "You talk first eh?" "I'll give you the water later!" "Sad Hill Cemetery okay?" "In a grave okay." "But it must have a name or number." "There must be a thousand, five thousand." "Don't die!" "I'll get you water!" "Stay there." "Don't move I'll get you water." "Don't die until later!" "Get away from there!" "He's dead." "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." " The name of a grave." " What name?" "Blondie don't die." "I'm your friend." "Please don't die." "I'll help you." "I'll help you!" "Don't move." "I'll be right back." "I'll get the water." "Don't die like that pig." "Water Blondie?" "Don't drink!" "It's no good for you." "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?" "You think I'm the enemy?" "If I were a Yankee, you wouldn't have time to ask me that." "Sergeant, listen to this corporal for a moment." "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 travel documents." "Here." "Corporal Bill Carson, 3rd Regiment, 2nd Cavalry Squadron." "Arriving from San Rafael." "Is that enough?" "Sgt, you're reading while this man is dying, where can I find the nearest infirmary?" "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 the Mission San Antonio around here?" "Sure, 18 miles south." "Take him there." "The brothers did not care the color of the uniform." "Keep your eyes open." "The area's full of Yankees." " Thank you." "Good-bye, Sergeant." " Take care." " l've got a very sick man here." " But we have no more beds." "Let him have yours!" "Where is Pablo Ramirez?" "Padre Ramirez." "He is away at the moment." "He should be back any day now." "It doesn't matter." "For now, we'll take very good care of my friend." "May God be praised." "In case you didn't know, God is on our side too." "Because he hates the Yanks, innit Blondie?" " Father is he still breathing?" " Yes of course." "You're heavy." "All right put a fresh bandage on him." "Put him in my cell." "Carefully." "Out soldier." "Come on." "Look after him, please." "He's like a brother to me." "Fr ..." "Father did he speak?" " Father, he talked about something?" " No, he hasn't spoken as yet." "But you mustn't worry." "He is young and strong." "That's what kept him alive." "He should regain his strength in a very short time." "Thank you Father." "You don't know how much his life means to me!" "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." "I mean 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 huh?" "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 Blondie." "In my place you would do the same thing." "It's all over for you now." "There's nothing anyone can do anymore." "It's my fault!" "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 yes I would!" "I would 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 there are there?" "Please have a little." "Coffee." "Please tell me the name  of the grave." "If I get my hands on the $200,000 I'll always honor your memory." "I swear it!" "I'll always honor your memory!" "Come closer." "Tell me." "You dirty bastard." "I'll sleep better knowing my good friend..." "is by my side to protect me." ""Tuco water." Well, here's water." "But if I get that name from you I'll give you water!" "Come on the party's over." "Get your ass off the bed!" "The wagon is all ready to go." "The way the wounded are pouring in we better get the hell out of here before we get caught up in the war." "Mr. Tuco, Father Ramirez is back." "There is something I have to look into." "It'll only take a minute." "Get moving." "Where?" "This way?" "Yes." "Hey Pablo!" "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 and 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've seen me Tuco." "Yeah well l'm very glad I came." "Oh my uniform..." "It's a long story." "Let's talk about you. lt's more important." "You look very well." "A bit thin perhaps but you always were thin eh Pablito?" "What about our parents?" "Only now do you think of them?" "To begin after nine years." "Nine years?" "So it's nine years." "Our mother has been dead a long time." "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." " The Lord have mercy on your soul." " Yes, I'll go." "I'll go." "While I'm waiting for the Lord to remember me..." "I, Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez will tell you something." "You think you're better than I am." "Where we came from if one did not want to die of poverty one became a priest or a bandit!" "You chose your way, I chose mine." "Mine was harder." "You talk of our 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 am going to 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." "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." "He says 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." "My brother he's crazy about me." "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 is Sierra Magdalena." "Going this way, we'll cross the Rio Grande." "That sure is a long way." "Here to the northeast, through all of Texas." " After that ..." " Then what?" "Then we get there." "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?" "Look." "Wake up you!" " The troops are coming!" " Blue or gray?" "They're gray like us." "Confederacy." "Let's say 'hello' to them and then get going." "Hurrah for the Confederacy!" "Hurrah!" "Viva the South." "Go to hell Yankee." "Hurrah for General..." " What's his name?" " Lee!" "God is with us because he hates the Yankee too!" "God is not on our side 'cause he hates idiots also." "Prisoners of war..." "forward march!" "Form a single file." " 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!" "That's me!" "Please Carson." "Answer 'Present' !" "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." "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!" "is 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 or 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." "Right." "I know this leg means I won't last very long but I hope I have enough time to amass evidence and bring to a court-martial all those who dishonor the uniform of the Union!" "I wish you luck." "You and the others better lay low for a few days." "I'll keep this." "You go." "Wallace will let you know." "Wallace, bring me Carson." "Angel Eyes said for us to lay low for a few days." "But we'll be around 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's got himself an easy Job!" "'And he never forgets a friend!" "' l never forget old friends Tuco." "It's good to see old friends again." "Especially when they 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?" "If you were with Sibley then you were..." " 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 bet they don't call you Angel Eyes." "Sergeant Angel Eyes." "Like a little music with your meal Tuco?" "Music?" "Yes very good for the digestion." "Then," "Bill Carson's a fake name, huh?" "That fake too?" "Bill Carson's name is written on it." "A bit of tobacco?" "Courage, served well." "Stronger!" "Was Carson dead or alive when you found him?" "What'd he tell you about the money?" "I don't know what you're talking about!" "How this your digestion now?" " It's better to speak." " I don't have anything to tell you." "More feeling." "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." "I'll talk!" "What did he say about the money?" "It's buried in a grave." "Where?" "At the Sad Hill Cemetery." "Which grave?" "I don't know!" "Blondie Blondie, he knows the name of the grave." "The war's over for you." "Put those clothes on." "Why?" "We're going for a ride." " Where?" " To find $200000." "I know the name of the cemetery now and you know the name of the grave." "You're not going to give me the same treatment?" "Would you talk?" "No probably not." "That's what I thought." "Not that you are any tougher than Tuco but you're smart enough to know that talking won't save you." "And Tuco is he...?" "No not yet but he's in very good hands." "You 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." "Don't breathe." "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." "Yeah $3000 friend." "That's a lot of money for a head." "I bet they didn't even pay you a penny for your arm." "I told you once but 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 guy." "You get some proper rope and you're all finished." "And there isn't any partner this time to shoot you down." "Get up!" "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 huh?" "I would like to piss it's rough." "I've been shaken up in this train nearly ten hours now." "You smell like a pig already!" "Let's try not to make things any worse." "Get goin'!" "I can't while you're watching me." "You made a lot of noise my friend huh?" "You don't wanna break our friendship huh?" "Well I'll break it!" "Platoon, halt." "Take your places." "Ready." "Aim." "Fire!" "Clemens take care of the horses." "I've been looking for you for eight months!" "Whenever I should have 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 and 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 ..." "I ..." "So only you know your half of the secret?" "I'm very happy you are working with me!" "And we're together again." "I'll get dressed, go back and kill him" "Listen I forgot to mention." "He's not alone." "There's five of 'em." "Five?" "Yeah five of 'em." "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 going to die alone?" "Angel Eyes is mine." "All right." "'See you soon." "'ldiots.' lt's for you." "How peaceful and quiet amigo." "Like a cemetery for instance?" "There should be a bridge across that river." " We better wait for nightfall." " Trust me Blondie." "I got a good sense of where l'm going." "Tuco has taken you this far I will take you all the way...." "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." "Your reason for being around here?" "We want to enlist general!" "You'd 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." "So you want to enlist." "You got to take a test to prove it." "Well show me." "You've got a future." "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 expert in the use of weapons." "This is the most potent weapon in war!" "The fighting spirit is in this bottle!" "Volunteers...." "You want to enlist?" "Then let's go." "The shooting hasn't begun yet." "Whoever has the most liquor to get the soldiers drunk and send them to be slaughtered... he's 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?" "Names don't matter." "Yes because soon you can Join the gallant heroes of Branston Bridge." "We have two attacks a day." "Two attacks a day?" "Sure." "The Reb's have decided that damn bridge is the key to this whole area." "Stupid useless bridge." "A flyspeck on headquarters' maps." "And headquarters has declared that we must take that ridiculous flyspeck even if all of us are killed." "Otherwise the key'll 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 Branston 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 in here. I've destroyed it all." "It's a court-martial offense to imagine-- to dream of blowing it up." "Even to think of destroying that bridge is Just...." "Why not really blow it up captain?" "Yeah, let's scare the hell out of them Captain!" "I've been dreaming about it." "I made 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 the daily slaughter right on time." "Captain!" "All companies are awaiting your orders." "I'll be right there." "All right friends..." "Companies!" "Report!" "Company B ready!" "Company C ready." "Company D ready." "Companies move forward." "It looks like the captain is really asking for a bullet in his guts!" "I've never seen so many men wasted so badly." "I've a feeling it's really gonna be a good long battle." "Blondie...the money is on the other side of the river." "Where?" "Amigo I said on the other side." "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?" "Then these idiots would go somewhere else to fight!" "Maybe." ""EXPLOSIVES"" "Doctor quick!" "The captain's wounded!" "Hurry a stretcher!" "Easy now." "Get things ready." "A little of this will help." "Take a slug of this captain and keep your ears open." "What're you doing?" "You realize we might be risking our lives?" "If I die, you'll never get your hands on all that beautiful money." "Yes, Tuco." "It sure would be a pity." "Can you help me live a little more?" "I expect good news." "Why don't we tell each other our half of the secret?" "Why not?" "You go first." "No I think it's better that... it's better you're first" "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?" "Sure I'm sure." "Tuco" "It'd 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 nothin' in there." " 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 this stone." "The gun?" "You pig!" "You wanted 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?" ""UNKNOWN"" "There's no name on it!" "There's no name here either." "You see that's what Bill Carson told me:" "'There's a grave marked 'unknown' right beside Arch Stanton.'" "Go ahead." "It's money!" "It's all ours Blondie!" "You're Joking Blondie." "You wouldn't..." "you wouldn't play a Joke on me like that." "It's no Joke. it's a rope Tuco." "I want you to stand up there and put your head in that noose." "Well now it seems just like old times" "Four for you and four for me." "Bbb...blondie" "BLONDIE..." ""The Ugly"" ""The Bad"" "and "The Good"" "Hey Blondie you know what you are?" "Just a dirty son of a...!"
