Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

Director: Sergio Leone

  • Harmonica: "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?"
    Harmonica: "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."
  • Frank: "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."
    Harmonica: "So, you found out you're not a businessman after all."
    Frank: "Just a man."
    Harmonica: "An ancient race. Other Mortons will be along, and they'll kill it off."
    Frank: "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."
    Harmonica: "...Only at the point of dyin'."
    Frank: "I know"
  • Frank's Henchman: "Frank sent us"
    Harmonica: "Did you bring a horse for me?"
    Henchman: (Chuckling) "It looks like we're shy one horse"
    Harmonica: "You brought two too many" (Harmonica shoots the three henchmen dead).
  • Frank: "Keep your lovin' brother happy."
  • Jill: What's he waiting for out there? What's he doing?
    Cheyenne: He's whittlin' on a piece of wood. I've got a feeling when he stops whittlin'... Somethin's gonna happen.
  • Cheyenne: "You don't understand, Jill. People like that have something inside. Something to do with death."
  • One of Frank's assistants: What are we gonna do about this one, Frank?
    Frank: Now that you've called me by name (the camera moves to Frank's gun pointing to the boy).
  • Frank: How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders? The man can't even trust his own pants.
  • Morton: Tell me, was it necessary that you kill all of them? I only told you to scare them.
    Frank: People scare better when they're dying.
  • Cheyenne: Judas was satisfied with 4,970 dollars less.
    Harmonica: There were'nt no dollars in them days.
    Cheyenne: But sons-of-bitches? Yeah.
  • Jill: Mrs McBain goes back to civilisation. Minus a husband and plus a great future.
    Cheyenne: You deserve better.
    Jill: The last man who told me that is buried out there.
    Cheyenne:You know, Jill,you remind me of my mother.She was the biggest whore in Alameida and the finest woman that ever lived. Whoever my father was for an hour or for a month,... he must have been a happy man.
  • Jill: And you! You saved his life.
    Harmonica:I didn't let them kill him. That's not the same thing.
