Harmonica quotes from Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

Cheyenne

Harmonica, a town built around a railroad. [laughs] You could make a fortune. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hey, more than that. Thousands of thousands.

They call them "millions."

Cheyenne

"Millions." Hmm.

I saw three of these dusters a short time ago. They were waiting for a train. Inside the dusters there were three men.

Cheyenne

So?

Inside the men there were three bullets.

Cheyenne

That's a crazy story, Harmonica, for two reasons. One, nobody around these part's got the guts to wear those dusters except Cheyenne's men. Two, Cheyenne's men don't get killed. That surprise you?

Yeah. Well, you know music and you can count. All the way up to two.

Cheyenne

All the way up to six if I have to. [gestures to Harmonica's wound] And maybe faster than you.

Morton once told me I could never be like him. Now I understand why. Wouldn't have bothered him, knowing you were around somewhere alive.

So, you found out you're not a businessman after all.

Just a man.

An ancient race. Other Mortons will be along, and they'll kill it off.

The future don't matter to us. Nothing matters now - not the land, not the money, not the woman. I came here to see you. 'Cause I know that now, you'll tell me what you're after.

...Only at the point of dyin'.

I know.

And Frank?

Frank sent us.

Did you bring a horse for me?

It looks like we're... it looks like we're shy of one horse!

You brought two too many. [Harmonica shoots the three henchmen dead]

Your friends have a high mortality rate Frank. First three, then two.

So, you're the one who makes appointments.

And you're the one who doesn't keep them.

Cheyenne

Judas was satisfied with 4,970 dollars less.

There weren't no dollars in them days.

Cheyenne

But sons-of-bitches? Yeah.

But... but those were his men.

Yeah.

And they tried to kill him.

They must've found someone who pays better.

And you! You saved his life.

I didn't let them kill him. That's not the same thing.

I wish you'll come back someday.

Someday.

What's your name?

Dave Jenkins.

Dave Jenkins has been dead a long time.

Calder Benson.

What's your name? Benson's dead, too.

You would know, Frank. You killed them.

Who are you?

Jim Cooper. Chuck Youngblood.

More dead men.

They were all alive until they met you, Frank.
