Per Un Pugno Di Dollari (A Fistful of Dollars) Page #3

cos they're dead already. Understand?

It makes no sense to me

and I'm getting out!

I'm alive and I want

to remain with the living, understand?

And when I'm dead,

I'll want to remain with the dead.

And I would be unhappy if somebody

living forces me to remain with the living.

I hope that's clear.

Also, I don't like the idea

that you've placed those bodies there.

The man buried there is the only

one who ever died of pneumonia here!

Take it easy, will ya? Our friends here

are gonna help me pay your bill.

Ah, get up there!

Their only reason to start a war would be

to kidnap you from your husband's side.

He is gallant, this Rojo.

I didn't think him capable of

compliments.

He's not. All that he says is false,

like his proposals.

You women! If things aren't complicated

for you, you become suspicious.

Yes. Because to me it just didn't

seem right. It went too smoothly.

I don't trust them.

You'd like to prove me wrong,

wouldn't you? Always the same thing.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Don't worry.

I'm not gonna hurt ya.

I just want ya to know why the Rojos

wanna make peace all of a sudden.

There was once a wagonload of gold

that the soldiers were takin' to the border.

John! Come up here quickly.

Sorry.

When a husband finds

a man in his wife's bedroom,

you're never sure how he's gonna react.

- Give him 500.

- How's that?

Give the money to him.

He has an interesting story. Listen to him.

That's the right idea?

I get the wrong idea only when it suits me.

Ramon! The soldiers escorting the gold...

Two of them got away.

They're hiding out in the cemetery.

The Baxters are about to capture them.

Hey! Rubio! Get the men.

You are well informed.

A man's life here often depends

on a mere scrap of information.

Your brother's own words.

Tell me, why are you doing this for us?

With these two soldiers

as witnesses against Ramon,

the government

will rid the town of the Rojos.

Then San Miguel

will have just one boss.

Hurry!

Let's go!

Coming with us?

No, no. When a man's got money

in his pocket, he appreciates peace.

Come on!

Let's leave the horses here.

Por Dios!

Who is there? Come out!

What do you think?

I don't know.

There's somethin' about it I don't like.

Too still to be wounded,

more like dummies.

Sure! Dummies that interest the Rojos.

Better hide. Hurry!

- What do we do?

- Circle around to the side.

Keep them busy long enough

for me to get those two down there!

Go on! Go on!

Quickly!

Keep me covered.

I'll take care of those two.

Listen, Baxter!

You can have them now if you like!

Since dead men can't talk!

It seems they didn't like my joke.

We'll let them go home in a while.

This bad boy will be our guest only until

Baxter leaves San Miguel for the frontier.

Put him in the cellar.

Esteban, good work!

With Antonio as our prisoner,

the Baxters will have to give in to us.

Now we can make any kind of demand!

Don Miguel! Don Miguel!

What has happened?

Talk, will you!

I don't know who,

but somebody shot at me.

Marisol!

Marisol!

Where are you, Marisol?

Strange... how you always manage

to be in the right place at the right time.

It's nothing serious,

a headache that will pass. She'll sleep.

Keep your eyes open. She's not

to move from that room, you hear?

I wouldn't mention I brought her here.

I wouldn't want the Rojos to think

I was on your side.

Don't be worried. I'm a woman who is rich enough

to appreciate the men

that my money can buy.

I've been to talk to the Rojos.

They'll give back Antonio

in exchange for Marisol in the morning.

Very soon, you're going to be rich.

Yeah, that's not gonna break my heart.

Where is she?

You said I'd see her! Where is she?

I want to see her!

-Come back here, Jesus. Come here.

-Where's she?

I want to see her!

Why can't I look at her? I want to see her!

Go. Go to him, Marisol.

Mama!

- Mama!

- Jesus!

Mama!

- Jesus!

- Mama! Mama!

Mama!

-Julio!

-Marisol!

Get Julio!

You were warned to get outta town.

Now I'm gonna make you pay

once and for all.

Let him be.

You better get goin'.

Ramon's waitin'.

And you, get that kid home

where he belongs.

A pig, that Ramon!

What's Ramon

got to do with them?

You weren't told, eh?

In these parts of the world,

the story is very old.

A happy little family until trouble

comes along. Trouble is Ramon.

Claiming the husband cheated

at cards, which wasn't true,

he gets the wife

to live with him as hostage.

And the husband?

Him, there's nothing for him to do.

The Rojos threatened to kill his boy,

Jesus. He was forced to accept things.

That Ramon is smart.

Where are you going?

To the Rojos, to look for a job.

I'm glad we have the Americano with us.

It's the best thing to happen to us.

If either government starts an enquiry,

we'll need every man we can get.

I guess no!

To be at war with the Baxters

now is worse than sitting on a case of dynamite.

- Where should we put this?

- Put it over there.

Come on, everybody.

Drink up!

Good shooting.

Very good shooting.

When you want to kill a man, you must shoot

for his heart and a Winchester is the best weapon.

That's very nice,

but I'll stick with my 45.

When a man with a 45

meets a man with a rifle,

the man with the pistol

will be a dead man.

That's an old Mexican proverb

and it's true.

You believe that?

Paquito, take five men and escort Marisol

to the small house and stay there till I return.

- Everything is prepared.

- Do not worry. I will return tomorrow.

All the wagons are ready.

We can leave.

Everyone!

Enjoy yourselves during my absence!

You heard Ramon,

let's have a good time.

He weighs over a ton.

Of course,

with all he poured into himself.

Papa,

did you not tell me

no one could go see Mama?

That's right.

Then, why does that man see her

when I cannot?

- I want Mama!

- Come away from the door. Quiet!

We cannot show ourselves.

You must remember that, you must stay away.

Hello!

There's somebody shooting

over the small house.

Saddle the horses immediately!

Come on, let's go!

Look out!

Take this money. It's enough to live on

for a while. Now, get across the border.

Get as far away from San Miguel

as possible.

How may we thank you

for what you are doing?

Don't try. Just get goin'

before the Rojos get here.

Why do you do this for us?

Why? I knew someone like you once.

No one was there to help. Get movin'.

Get movin'!

Get outta here!

What do you see, Chico?

They're all dead.

They massacred them.

- They kidnapped Marisol!

- This looks like the work of the Baxters.

Quick! Let's get back before

they attack our house in the town.

Chico, give out the ammunition.

Esteban, spread your men

around the house. Keep your eyes open.

Miguel, Paco, behind the house.

Manolo and Alvaro, come with me.

Stay alert!

The way they killed those men,

there must be a lot of them.

It's a warm evening.

One of our wagons lost a wheel

so we had to turn back here to get help.

One of the men tells me...
