Angel Eyes
[to Blondie]

You're smart enough to know that talking won't save you.

Angel Eyes

People with ropes around their necks don't always hang. Even a filthy beggar like that has a protecting angel. A golden-haired angel watches over him.

Angel Eyes

Oh, I almost forgot, he paid me a thousand. I think his idea was that I kill you. But you know, the pity is when I'm paid, I always follow my job through. You know that. [Angel Eyes shoots his boss]

Angel Eyes

Like a little music with your meal, Tuco?

Tuco

Music? Yeah, it's very good. It's very good for the digestion.

[Seeing blood on the floor]

You're not going to give me the same treatment?

Angel Eyes

Would you talk?

No... probably not.

Woman on stagecoach
[Angel Eyes prepares to board a stagecoach during Tuco's execution]

Glad they got him. A man guilty of all those crimes!

Angel Eyes

People with ropes around their necks don't always hang.

Woman on stagecoach

What do you mean?

Angel Eyes

Even a filthy beggar like that has a protecting angel.

Angel Eyes
[Angel Eyes looks around and catches sight of Blondie]

A golden-haired angel watches over him.

Baker

Here, this is for you. You did a good job for me. [hands over a purse]

Angel Eyes

Oh I almost forgot. He paid me a thousand. I think his idea was that I kill you. [they both laugh] But you know the pity is when I'm paid, I always follow my job through. You know that.

Baker

Noo! Angel Eyes!

[counting Angel Eyes' men]

One, two, three, four, five, and six. Six, the perfect number.

Angel Eyes

I thought three was the perfect number.

I've got six more bullets in my gun.

Captain Harper

For the last time, Sergeant, I'm telling you I want the prisoners treated as prisoners. No more brutality.

Angel Eyes

There's hundreds of prisoners out there and only a few men to guard 'em. Now what am I supposed to do? I have to have respect.

Cpt. Harper

I think that you'll manage to gain their respect by treating them better.

Angel Eyes

Are our men treated that well in Andersonville camp?

Cpt. Harper

I don't give a goddamn what they do in Andersonville. While I'm in charge here the prisoners are not to be tortured, or cheated, or murdered.

Angel Eyes

That an accusation?

Cpt. Harper

Sergeant, gangrene is eating my leg away, not my eyes. I know the prisoners here are being robbed systematically. I know there's scum around who are bivouacked near the camp, waiting for someone to deliver this loot. But as long as I'm commandant I won't permit any such trickery. Am I clear?

Angel Eyes

Yes, just as long as you're the commandant.

Cpt. Harper

Yes, Sergeant. I know this leg means I won't last very long, but I pray I can manage to have enough time to amass evidence to bring to a court-martial all those who discredit and dishonor the uniform of the Union!

Angel Eyes

I wish you luck.

[counting Angel Eyes' men]

One, two, three, four, five, six. Six. Perfect number.

Angel Eyes

Huh. Isn't three the perfect number?

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