Well well, if it isn't the smoker. Well... Remember me, amigo?
Col. Mortimer
M-Mm.
'Course you do. El Paso.
Col. Mortimer
It's a small world.
Yes, and very, very bad. Now come on, you light another match.
Col. Mortimer
I generally smoke just after I eat. Why don't you come back in about ten minutes?
Ten minutes you'll be smoking in hell. Get up!
Col. Mortimer
When two hunters go after the same prey, they usually end up shooting each other in the back. And we don't want to shoot each other in the back.
Manco
And the Colonel dies...
Col. Mortimer
One from the outside one from the inside. There's no other way. One of us will have to join Indio's gang.
Manco
Why did you look at me when you said one of us?
Col. Mortimer
Because they don't know you. Wild sees me and the sun will catch on fire.
Manco
Tell me Colonel. How do you propose that I join up with Indio? Maybe bring him a bunch of roses.
Manco
Tell me, Colonel... Were you ever young?
Col. Mortimer
Yup. And just as reckless as you. Then one day, something happened. It made life very precious to me.
Manco
What's that? Or is the question indiscreet?
Col. Mortimer
No. The question isn't indiscreet. But the answer could be.
Manco
How can somebody in my business go around with a contraption like this?
Col. Mortimer
That contraption almost sent you to your grave.
Manco
You mind telling me how you got here?
Col. Mortimer
I just reasoned it out. I figured you'd tell Indio to do just exactly the opposite of what we agreed, and he's suspicious enough to figure out something else. Since El Paso was out of the question, well, here I am!
Col. Mortimer
My boy, you've become rich.
Manco
You mean we've become rich, old man.
Col. Mortimer
No, it's all yours. I think you deserve it.
Manco
What about our partnership?
Col. Mortimer
Maybe next time.
