• Blondie : You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

• Tuco : [trying to read a note]  "See you soon, id... " "idi... "

  Blondie : [taking the note]  "Idiots".

  [He hand the note back to Tuco] 

  Blondie : It's for you.

• Blondie : I'll keep the money and you can have the rope.

  Tuco : You filthy, double-crossing bastard! Of all the stinking, dirty tricks...

  Blondie : The way back to town is only 70 miles. You know, if you save your breath, I feel a man like you could manage it. Adiós.

  Tuco : You-you-you filthy bastard! Come here! Come here! Take -cut this rope off! Get off that horse. Get off that horse! You filthy coward! If I ever catch you, l'll rip your heart out and eat it! I'll skin you alive! I'll hang you up by your thumbs. You thief! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

  Blondie : [clicks his tongue]  Such ingratitude, after all the times I've saved your life.

• Blondie : [counting Angel Eyes' men]  One, two, three, four, five, six. Six. Perfect number.

  Angel Eyes : Huh. Isn't three the perfect number?

  Blondie : Mm... yeah. But I've got six more bullets in my gun.

• Tuco : [thinking the cavalry they've met are Confederate]  Hurrah! Hurrah for the Confederacy! HURRAH! Down with General Grant! Hurrah for General... what's his name?

  Blondie : Lee.

  Tuco : Lee! LEE! Ha ha! God is with us because he hates the Yanks too. HURRAH!

  Blondie : [spits]  God's not on our side because he hates *idiots* also.

  [the commander of the cavalry patrol they've met reveals his blue uniform] 

• [surveying some Civil War carnage] 

  Blondie : I've never seen so many men wasted so badly.

• Blondie : Every gun makes its own tune.

• Tuco : I'm very happy you are working with me! And we're together again.

  [pause] 

  Tuco : I get dressed, I kill him and be right back.

  Blondie : Listen, I forgot to mention... He's not alone. There's five of 'em.

  Tuco : Five?

  Blondie : Yeah, five of 'em.

  Tuco : So, that's why you came to Tuco.

  [pause] 

  Tuco : It doesn't matter, I'll kill them all.

• Blondie : [With Tuco's gun pointed at him, Blondie has no choice but to let his new partner hang]  Sorry, Shorty.

• Blondie : Two hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. We're gonna have to earn it.

• Blondie : If you shoot me, you won't see a cent of that money.

  Angel Eyes : [frowning]  Why?

  Blondie : I'll tell you why.

  [Blondie kicks the coffin lid open] 

  Blondie : Cause there's nothin' in here!

• Blondie : I mean our partnership is untied.

  Tuco : [looks down at the noose still hanging from his neck] 

  Blondie : Oh no, not you, you remain tied. I'll keep the money and you can have the rope.

• Blondie : It's not a joke, it's a rope, Tuco. Now I want you to get up there and put your head in that noose.

• Blondie : [appearing beside Tuco]  Were you gonna die alone?

• Blondie : You may run the risks, my friend, but I do the cutting. We cut down my percentage - uh, cigar? - liable to interfere with my aim.

  Tuco : But if you miss you had better miss very well. Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Tuco. Nothing!

  [Chuckles, bites cigar] 

• Blondie : If your friends stay out in the damp, they're liable to catch a cold aren't they... or a bullet.

• Tuco : [trying to read a grave that is marked "Unknown"]  Unk-... unk-... there's no name on it.

  Blondie : [showing him the stone the name was supposed to be written on stone]  There's no name here, either. See, that's what Bill Carson told me... it was the grave marked "Unknown" right beside Arch Stanton.

• Tuco : I'll kill you!

  Blondie : [gasps out in a whisper]  If you do that, you'll always be poor... just like the greasy rat that you are.

• Bounty Hunter : [three bounty hunters have cornered Tuco]  No! No pistol, amigo! It won't do you any good. There are three of us!

  Mexican Bounty Hunter : [holding a wanted poster]  Hey, amigo! You know you got a face beautiful enough to be worth $2000?

  Blondie : [from behind them]  Yeah, but you don't look like the one who'll collect it.

  [Lights a cigar] 

  Blondie : A couple steps back.

  [the bounty hunters draw their guns but Blondie guns down all three] 

• Blondie : Put your drawers on, and take your gun off.

• Blondie : The way I figure, there's really not too much future with a sawed-off runt like you.

• Blondie : [watching the soldiers fighting on the bridge]  I have a feeling it's really gonna be a good, long battle.

  Tuco : Blondie, the money's on the other side of the river.

  Blondie : Oh? Where?

  Tuco : Amigo, I said on the other side, and that's enough. But while the Confederates are there we can't get across.

  Blondie : What would happen if somebody were to blow up that bridge?

  Tuco : Yeah. Then these idiots would go somewhere else to fight.

  Blondie : [lighting his match]  Maybe.

• Blondie : Where are we going?

  Tuco : Where? Where I'm going, amigo. Over that way, another hundred miles of beautiful, sun-baked sand.

• Blondie : After a meal, there's nothing like a good cigar.
