Contains one of the best lines in a Western ever...
(I think i got this right, or pretty close)
Yul to Rob Vaughn: I heard you were looking for the Johnson brothers... What happened?
Rob Vaughn reply: I found them.

From Unforgiven, after Little Bill (Gene Hackman) walks up to a humiliated, jailed English Bob (Richard Harris) and says, "You were right not to take the gun, Bob, because I'd a killed ya...".
Hackman's simple, steely-eyed, straightforward delivery of that single line is remarkable. Just about any other actor would have tried to 'punch it up' with some cute, witty inflection (you know, from the Arnold Schwarzenegger school of 'cool') but not Hackman. He said it exactly like you would expect a cold-blooded killer to say it with an expressionless face and in a way you really believed he meant it.
Chris: You cost a lot.
O'Reilly: That's right, I cost a lot.
(Chris and Vin start to walk away)
O'Reilly: 20 dollars? Right now that's a lot.

And how about Coburn, after the first knife v. gun duel. The other cowboys can't call it, so the loudmouthed gunslinger comes barrelling up to Coburn, who's back sitting by the fence, demanding "tell 'em I won. tell 'em I won!!"
Coburn; "You lost"
Chris: Now, close your eye.
Aim from here, to here, to the target.
Fire.
Villager: That rock?
Chris: No, that man you´re gonna kill.
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
be kind, rewind...
I like the one at the beginning when they won't bury the dead man:
"He's prejudiced too, huh?"
"Well, when it comes to a chance of getting his head blown off, he's downright bigoted."
Lots of great lines in this one. Some of my favorites were from Bronson, and not the "leads" of the film.
Right before he dies:
Bernardo: "What's my name?"
Kid: "Bernardo"
Bernardo: "You're goddamn right".
About Chico when he's following them:
Chris: "Leave him alone, it's a free country."
Bernardo: "And it's his."
Whores will have their trinkets.
