Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia Page #3

Synopsis: A family scandal causes a wealthy and powerful Mexican rancher to make the pronouncement--'Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia!' Two of the bounty-hunters thus dispatched encounter a local piano-player in their hunt for information. The piano-player does a little investigating on his own and finds out that his girlfriend knows of Garcia's death and last resting place. Thinking that he can make some easy money and gain financial security for he and his (now) fiancée, they set off on this goal. Of course, this quest only brings him untold misery, in the form of trademark Peckinpah violence.

Keep it.

Thanks.

You see, this belonged

to a very... special lady.

Once upon a time...

she filled it up with food...

and we'd go on a picnic.

We turned off a dirt road,

we ate the food she prepared

with her hands.

Very special hands.

And that's why I'd like to know,

why you don't... take it!

Tell me... what the head

of Alfredo Garcia's is worth!

And to who! Understand?

This is the man who pays...

All right, Al. Let's go!

There's a guardhouse coming up.

Somebody's waiting for us.

Take it easy, Al.

I'm here to see El Jefe.

What for?

Just tell him, uh,

Alfredo Garcia is here.

I've got something here you want.

His name is Alfredo.

I don't know what you want

him for, but here he is.

Senor... bring me the money.

Welcome. I was expecting you.

Won't you join me for a drink?

I'm a very happy man.

I got nothing to celebrate.

Here's the...

merchandise you bought.

And paid for.

Take... it and go.

I have everything that I want.

I have my grandson.

So go.

Don't forget to take that

and throw it to the pigs.

No.

Sixteen people are dead because of...

Him... and you.

And me.

And one of 'em was

a damn good friend of mine!

No!

No.

First time I saw him he was dead.

Kill him!

Come on, Al,

we're going home.

Listen. Take this.

You take care of the boy...

and I'll take care of the father.
