The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Page #6

---

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!

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.

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, I kill him, and be right back.

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.

"Idiots."

It'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 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...

- 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 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 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.

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.

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 the daily slaughter, right on time.

Captain! All companies are awaiting your orders.

I'll be right there.

All right, friends...

...come along and enjoy the spectacle.

Companies!

Report!

Company B, ready!

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.

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.

Doctor, quick! The captain's wounded!

Hurry, a stretcher!

Easy, now.

Get things ready.

A little of this will help.
